[QUOTE="Spd522, post: 2435687, member: 107351"] I have had 3 shoulder surgeries, 2 left and one right. I had my right shoulder rebuilt after a treestand incident at age 64. Rotator cuff and both anterior and posterior labrum were torn. The bicep tendon was also torn loose and needed to be reattached. I am right handed and found shooting rifles from .22LR-300 WM and shotgun(including slugs) were not a problem after a couple of months. The recoil part was never an issue. I actually went elk hunting the 6 months after surgery and carrying my pack and 300 WM never bothered me. What bothered me most was shooting a pistol as it requires my arm extended out. Leverage on the shoulder is where the pain was. It will be more of an issue if the shoulder in question is his support arm. I think your Dad will be fine if it's the shooting shoulder having surgery, especially with a 7mm-08. Especially if hunting season is several months after surgery. [/QUOTE]
