Hi,
Last Monday I took a tumble off my bicycle and sprained my left wrist really bad. I'm right handed so I've been able to function pretty well. Man oh man is it a pain, both physically and figuratively!! By Thursday the swelling had gone down enough to where I could see my knuckles when I made an attempt at a fist. Yesterday, Tuesday, I did not use the wrist brace, and suffered this morning because of it. Woke up to pain and swelling. So, back on icing the wrist and wearing the brace afterwards. That helped. Oh so glad I did not break a bone.
It has effected my shooting. Think about it. When shooting a pistol with both hands, the recoil would bend my left wrist exactly where it was sprained. Not a good thing. Then with a rifle, holding the forearm with my left hand to balance the rifle. I cannot do that yet. Maybe in a week or two. Today I did shoot a .22 pistol one handed. That is it for now. I sure hope to be back in shape for the next bowling pin shoot in about two weeks. I may be doing some fancy one handed .22 auto shooting if nothing else.
I'll keep you posted.
Take care, good shooting and good hunting.
M
