I'm 78 and returned to Practical Shooting 2 months ago after a five year hiatus. I practiced a little and ran my 1st Steel Match the end of July.
I found out I couldn't hold on to my G34 like I used to. Physical conditioning was a must for me. Not just hand strength but arms and shoulders as well. I have Scoliosis in my lower spine, so I had plenty of pain from picking up brass, setting targets, and running a loaded gunbelt around.
So a exercise & stretching routine became a necessity, everyday and stretching especially after a match became a must.
As eye sight goes my regular progressive lenses or ordinary eyeprotection didnt work well , but useing1.25 reading glasses solved my seeing problem. All these problems make it difficult for a Super Senior when they start shooting. But there not insurmountable. Rome wasn't built in a day. Keep working at it and you'll see things will get better. Good luck in your shooting.
