I am pretty bummed. Planning to head to MV and Back of the Dragon for a week or better. This is all in jeopardy now. Last Saturday, I was at Blastfest in upper Wisconsin. A friend has a private range. We play games like tic tac toe and shoot dart targets with .45s. 12 gauge games too. One of the contest is putting a slug into 2 different targets using a 12 gauge in each shoulder, shooting simultaneously. (The barrel rest in a Y ******.) When I shot, I felt a little twinge in my lower back. Next morning my back was messed up. For the past week, I walk while I watch my shoes. I can now get upright after a couple minutes so it is getting better. Still planning to come tho. A friend is going to put a front tire on the Rocket for me tomorrow. I will know more by Wednesday.

Dang Ski hope you get to feeling better that's the most important thing.

This may sound a weird question - But - How is your shoulder mobility?.
Last year I twinged my lower back - was all manly about it - it was getting better after all - then managed to tear most of the muscles that keep you vertical by using them to compensate for the damaged ones. 3 months physio.
 
Thanks Warp! Shoulders are fine. I only shot the 2 shotguns once. Most everyone else was sore and black and blue the next day. One of the exercises I do involve raising off the floor like a pushup and slowly arching and crowning the back. No problem. My friend, Tony, is a PT for 13 years. He's about 25 miles away and has come here every other night to give me a hand and different stretching to do. Thankful for friends!!!
