martin 332 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I went out last night with my brother-in-law,I took the rimfire,but,I had a lot of trepidation because I hadn't even looked through a scope since my stroke.I have been VERY worried that it would have a permanent effect on what I love to do(shoot),but,luckily I had nothing to worry about,as,my good eye was definitely in...................... My brother-in-law had one,and,he allowed me to take the rest,and,I was over the moon(understatement)with how I shot,all headshots to boot.As I still am not allowed to drive I obviously need someone to take me out,and,I have been out with a chap from another site who I took out onto a bit of permission I have to see if he could get on a Doe,but,unfortunately none showed(very rare not to show on this piece of land),and,I have a chap from another site hopefully(if all goes well)taking me out foxing Saturday night,so,I am really looking forward to that I can tell you. The worst part about having had this stroke is that I feel fine in myself,but,my eyesight just doesn't seem to be getting any better,and,obviously that has a direct impact on my driving.But,I must stay positive,and,still feel that it will get better. A few bunnies might not set your world on fire,but,to me it was a massive corner to turn,and,I was smiling all night long,and,still am........................hope to post something else after Saturday night..........martin Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Six bunnies or Six thousand, its a start back on track for you. I hope you don't see any permanent effects from your stroke and that you can get back to shooting in all the ways you were before. It must have been a great feeling to get back into the swing of using the guns again, I would really be lost without being able to get on with it. I don't suppose the recoil on the centrefires will do you much good just now, so maybe time to have fun with the rimfire Good luck on Saturday, keep us posted, and hope you keep on getting better.
