barrysuperhawk Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Wow, I never noticed there was an "injury" sub forum... Last Sunday at Leroy Rifle and Pistol club, I slipped and fell during a stage and broke my ankle. If I was a horse, they would have to shoot me.

nanopistol Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Rub some dirt on it, you'll be fine :-) Get well quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcobean Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 A co-worker of mine broke his ankle considerably worse than that (broke both tibia and fibula) riding his bike across a parking lot. He was down for 8 months and still has lots of stiffness in it a year later. My sis-in-law on the other hand broke hers almost identically to yours playing on a trampoline, and a couple of months later she was back up and at it. I'm sure you'll be shooting again soon.

Tacticalk9 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 That sucks! Did you finish the stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrysuperhawk Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 That sucks! Did you finish the stage? No, I didn't. I did, however receive several compliments on how rock steady my trigger and muzzle discipline remained, as I fell. I also managed to correctly show clear and safely re-holster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also managed to correctly show clear and safely re-holster That's awesome (the muzzle and trigger control part under stress...not the ankle). Mend quickly.

stick Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 On the bright side at least you'll be able to dry fire while you heal. Get well soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Take it easy on your way back to the sport, if you don't let it heal right it will nag you the rest of your life.[/motherly nag] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitchinCamaro Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I have an identical Xray, except there are 5 titanium screws holding it together. 6 weeks. Stay off the leg but try to lift small weights constantly and use the hell out of your crutches. It's awesome core excercise. You'll be hobbling through matches by the middle of summer!
