As I put on your similar post on the smashingclays forum....
Cuff problems in shoulder, lower back pain, rotation injuries for knee and hip, tennis elbow.......it is all there for long term shooters. I find a few 36grms knock it all back in place again.....or not as the case may be. At the moment suffering shoulder cuff injury (from boxing) for about a year and knee problems due to arthritis being and old sausage. So after a period of time we are all ready for the scrap yard.
However the Olympic squad are given physiotherapy and exercises to increase supplness, core strength and recovery time............but 'the powers that be' will not share it for the general shooting public. Last time I requested that these were put as download papers on the CPSA website, I was told that it was not possible until after the Olympics as they did not want to give 'secrets' away to other countries....!!
Hmmmm they still have not appeared.
It is essential for all newbies or young shots to speak with a physio and get basic core strength exercises....if you do not want to end up like some of us older ones who have shot for donkey's years. Especially work that supports the back of the shoulder blades. Shooting is a sport where unfortunately we curled up leaning forward around the gun......and for stable shoulders we should have shoulders back....impossible!! So improve your core strength kids .....trust me in 20 years time you will be glad that you have used certain exercises.
Recoil affects everyone....whether they feel the effects or not. You only have to video yourself on slowmo shots to see how much the 'un felt' recoil is .....trust me...!!
