[QUOTE="Rcritch, post: 2906991, member: 125956"] I lost all of my right shoulder's rotator cuff (except for the deltoid muscle) in a motorcycle wreck and had to have a "reverse" total shoulder replacement on that side. But I am so exclusively right handed, footed and master eyed that there is no way I can shoot left handed so I had to give up on most long range shooting, all of the big bore magnum stuff and no more shotgunning with anything larger than 20 gauge 1 oz loads. And, like you I have since had to have the left shoulder replaced as well, old age isn't easy .... but, what the heck, life still goes on. There is one really neat thing you can still do with your "big boy stuff" and firearms and that is to work up light plinker loads (still super sonic, but less than 2000 fps) for small game and close range medium sized game hunting. I used to do quite a bit of rabbit hunting with my light weight Remington 600 in .350 Remington Magnum throwing .357 pistol bullets at about 1500 fps ahead of 13 grains of Red Dot powder. Virtually no recoil, but that 18-1/2" barrel still had an impressive muzzle blast, raising the attention of any and every other small gamer in the woods. And one year more recently I bagged several Texas Panhandle whitetails with my .416 Remington Magnum Safari Grade Model 70 Winchester, puffing out 350 grain Speer soft points at about 2200 fps. Same thing as with the .350 Rem, virtually no recoil, since the .416 Safari Grade Win weighed a little over 10 pounds with scope. In both cases it drew a lot of attention when I was out hunting small to medium game with darned moose to elephant capable firearms! Hehehe, gotta love it! [/QUOTE]
