Grambo Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hi everyone, My name is Chris and I live in the northern part of New Hampshire, tucked away in the foothills of the White Mountains. I am a 46 year old school teacher, father of 3, part time mountain guide (synnott Mountain Guides, Jackson , NH) and am now starting a new and exciting phase as a very poor marksman...with very much to learn. Just browsing this site I knew that I had hit pay dirt with the abundance of information, tips, techniques and interesting stories and examples. I will be testing your patience and knowledge over the course of time so I apologize ahead of time for some of the simple (and probably painfully obvious) questions that will be coming your way. I currently own a Rugar Mark II .22, and a CZ 75B in 9mm. I have had both in my possession for about 8 months. I am excited to meet you all, and to better my skills and understanding of this sport and look forward to seeing improvement as time passes. I recently had major shoulder surgery due to a Mountian bike accident in a race this past Fall (AC Joint reconstruction, Clavicular reduction, rotator cuff and labrum repair) so I am limited to shooting with my off hand. Going out for the first time this season, so we will see how it goes. If you might know of some good drills to practice while I am laid up, I am all ears! Again, nice to meet you all Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I recently had major shoulder surgery so I am limited to shooting with my off hand. If you might know of some good drills to practice while I am laid up, I am all ears! Welcome. One thought is practicing weak hand shooting and dry firing. Really helps develop your trigger control:) Good luck, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grambo Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Thanks Jack! Going to the range with my CZ this afternoon. I have some snap caps on order and I should have those by the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
