[QUOTE="Shinneryfarmer, post: 4324049, member: 46291"] I have had a similar path as you. Shoulder surgeries that inhibited shooting, afterwards 308 ( very limited at that) or smaller is all I want. Now I have bone spurs in both elbows that prevent locking my arms straight for handgun shooting. Shooting handguns has been like relearning all over but it come around after awhile. I still buy a gun here and there and shoot every couple weeks but its limited. My biggest loss was bow hunting, I was serious about it. Shoulders want let me do it anymore, shot a long bow, practiced 30 minutes to hour everyday. I tried after my surgery to continue bow hunting with a crossbow. What I finally realized is it wasn't the bowhunting that I truely missed. It was the work and prep of mastering a skill, consistantly taking of game with that skill was the climax that you mastered it. Crossbows you sight them in, take out shoot game, put them up do it again next year. I think my practice time everyday was my Zen time, it kept me focused and sane I think. Sure miss it, I have found nothing to replace it. [/QUOTE]
