[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 4127793, member: 45551"] I've been shooting twice since my accident 3 years ago. The first time was about a year ago. I got less than 50 rounds downrange. (Nothing really hot either. Some of Grumpy's reloads that he loaded light cuz he was afraid anything hotter than .22 was gonna **** me up. He was not wrong -- a couple of mags of .22 and the rest was his 9mm and I was spent. Couldn't raise the gun up any more.) I could barely hold the gun up after the first magazine but was just being stubborn. I shouldn't have done that. I paid for it later. The second time was last month. Things went quite a bit better but I still have a long way to go. I was wanting to try and shoot a Steel Challenge in October but it isn't gonna happen. Just do not have the upper body strength to handle it. My Christmas present to me is a membership at the Y and the fee for a personal trainer. I'm not gonna give up shooting without putting up a fight. Now my target date for a Steel Challenge is February. I have a LOT of work to do. The heaviest weight I can lift is 10 pounds and I hit a wall at 7-10 reps. 🤦🤦 I'm embarrassed to even say that outloud. But everybody starts somewhere. That's my somewhere whether I like it or not. 🤷 You are right -- there are a lot of good shooters on this forum. Way better than I will ever be but they still let me hang out with them and yuck it up. I'm kinda fond of this bunch of yahoos. 😍😁 [/QUOTE]
