I've popped in a few times and finally decided to join up. Right now I'm down and out after having shoulder surgery it will be a wee bit before I'm back behind the gun. So in the meanwhile I'm researching various weapon platforms to get into as well as what divisions I'd like to shoot. I'm stuck at home with a bad wing so what else am I supposed to do? So I drink and search the forum.

How did you hurt yourself? I broke my ankle last year doing MMA training.

Welcome to the parity!

Well the short story is a highly trained german shepherd latched onto my arm instead of another individual. A short wrestling match between me and the K9 and i wind up with a torn bicep and labrum in the shoulder which happened to be my strong side. So no shooting for a while. Go ahead and laugh everyone else that knows me already has.

That's actually pretty legit. I fell down chasing a loose trash can lid! Wow that sounds even worse a year later. It was one of those big lids. Nope that still sounds pretty whimpy! Lol.

I wish you well with your recovery!!! I am glad you're a member here.

You know, I believe every part of that story
While on active duty in the army, we saw dobies, and shepards take down people.

I can see how your injury happened.

Welcome.
I once got a splinter from chopping down trees with my hands as part of my training when I fought Brock Lesnar.

There are just some incidents that once you start to explain what happened it just snowballs into mostly humorous other stories. This would be one. The unfortunate thing is I now know what people mean that they miss shooting. There is a big difference in stopping on your own and just getting into it and really getting the bug and you get derailed.
