Air gunning after shoulder replacement

[Dadwag]

Hi all. I’m considering getting a shoulder replacement within the next year. I’m 72 and have been Break Barreling for 40 years and have the addiction. My question is if any of you all have had a replacement and was your air gunning affected by it. My left side is pretty trashed and painful so I switched to cocking with my right arm. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. I know I could go PCP but economic situation won’t permit that path, plus the previously mentioned BB addiction. TIA have a Great Holiday Season and Stay well

Good luck with the surgery. I have not personally had shoulder surgery to be able to give you any insight, but depending on the type a return should be viable. Maybe a nice pumper for PT to get you back to your springer loves. Might want to leave the magnums alone.

Part of my mission in life, remind people that pump guns need live too. And glad to hear you have a classy (and classic) girl to do it with.

I would not give up on sprinters just yet! I am a retired Occupational Therapist that has worked in rehab of many shoulder injuries/surgeries. I've seen patients have amazing recoveries with hard work. I had a knee replacement that has not destroyed my mobility. I love my sprinters and I would not sell yours just yet!

I was referring to springers, not sprinters! Dang auto correct! I am a diesel engine lover, but I don't own a Sprinter, lol.
