nicfit212 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I did something horrible to my back Thursday night; it's getting better but it still took 15 minutes to get out of bed this morning. The proximate cause: practicing the turn-draw! Guess you have to stretch for the shooting sports, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
et45 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Years ago I was shooting the Massad Ayoob strong hand stance and I pulled something in my upper back,hurt like hell and I have never tried it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I probably stretched for almost 45 minutes at the range just before the Western PA match this past weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicfit212 Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 A week later, almost back to normal. At least, can move around without pain now (getting out of a chair is still a little iffy). My wife made me promise not to practice that draw anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SA All I really need is someone to haul the garbage to the curb until I can stand straight again! But yes: I really was doing Refinement and Repetition drills. And I have to confess that this has put a kink in my practice schedule as well as my posture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Ho Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 All I really need is someone to haul the garbage to the curb until I can stand straight again! Man, I've got to steal that excuse to use on my wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranDoc Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 One of the things I have to watch on this drill is keeping my index upright. There's a tendency to lean forwards on the turn, to 'lean into' the targets. I think this 'feels faster', but it's really not. The turn-lean puts a lot more torque on the low back and ... you know what that feels like the morning after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JThompson Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I feel for you... I was working Friday and just reached for something and pop. I'm thinking, you have got to be shitting me. Limped through the rest of the day on Advil. I'm hoping it will be good enough for Sun match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
