Dear List serve members,
I saw a man yesterday for evaluation. He has recently had a shoulder
disarticulation on his left side to remove a osteosarcoma. He has no
desire to wear a prosthesis, but wishes a device to help balance his gun
for competitive shooting. The rifle weights 8.5# . The sport involves
(so I’m told) 8 stations that require different angles to shoot the
targets, which are moving fast. Any one with any experience with either
shooting or fabricating something along these lines would be great.
Right now, we are considering a custom, plastic pelvic section with
metal rods coming from the side and umbilicus to support a U shaped
neoprene lined plastic cup. I’m thinking about using a quick disconnect
to allow him to change angles between stations, I can’t think of any way
of having the device allow for movement between shots, but still be
stabile enough to prevent movement during each shot.
thanks for any help
Wendy
