A rifle

[beltfed]

Jim,
I found that, once I went thru a very good Physical Therapy program, as my hip replacement healed over the winter and into the next season, the hip is not a problem with Prone shooting over crossed stix.
It is still a bit of strain, though on my repaired shoulders, particularly with the needed wiping routine with the BP rifles. That procedure has been helped by reducing the number of wiping strokes with bore critters.
Also, I have no problem with the hip shooting the 100yds .22 Palma matches at my Rapids club, since we can shoot that one from a Bipod or from a rest or crossed stix

Also, one of the guys that shoots the winter 22 long range matches showed up
only a month or 6 weeks after his hip replacement and shot the match. I actually told him he was nuts, but he did ok. even left his cane in the car.
