I stepped in an unseen ditch while pulling my decoy cart (in the dark) landed solidly hands down. Already had much shoulder damage from a lifetime of abuse, but this put me over the top. Can't shoot for months so doing things like making the repros look cool instead (see other thread).
I shot a goose right before Christmas with my 7lb 1 oz VH and by then my shoulder was so bad I almost launched the Parker from the pain caused by the recoil. Not a particularly heavy bismuth load either. I knew then it was time to seek medical attention. Found out I needed surgery on both shoulders. Doc found more damage than expected once she got in there on shoulder 1. Second still to be done but doesn't seem as bad as first. I'm flooding some good nesting habitat right now so hope I recover for next year. If not, it's up to young Wyatt!
