shoulder replacement

Hi out there, I am new to Gun Talk. Reason I joined is to find some info regarding 1.) shooting long guns after having a shoulder replacement. 2.) does anyone know if there are any good products that will absorb recoil from a 270, or a 50 cal black powder, or shotgun. 3.) Has anyone else out there experienced a similar surgery. I have to believe that the recoil from the above mentioned firearms will have some effect on the new shoulder.
I finally, just recently started to pull my bow back. Really happy about that.
Hope to hear from someone regarding this.
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, do not know much except I have seen some cutom shotgun stcks made witha hydraaulic cylinder in them but do not know the name of the manufacturers. You might do a search and find something. Are you in or near Seneca Falls and is the old Gould hotel sitll in operation?

Welcome to Guntalk-Online Harleride!

First I would check with my orthopedist to ensure that shooting is not detrimental to your surgical recovery. Perhaps more physical rehabilitation may be in order before taking on any stiff recoiling shoulder fired weapons. I've seen too many folks start back shooting before they're ready and cause more setbacks to their recovery. If you get the go-ahead then a hydraulic or pneumatic recoil system may do the trick.

One option is something like these stock shock absorbers made by Graves Recoil Systems -

Single piston

Dual piston (Heavy Duty)

Stock Shock Absorbers

Hope this helps and you're back into the shooting game!
