Doctor says….

[Big Slick]

Went to the cardiologist the other day. She told me the do’s and dont’s.

Do’s:
Heart healthy diet
Moderate exercise
And so on…..

Don’t do’s:

Don’t shoot high powered rifles
Don’t shoot a now over 45 lbs….

I think I need a new cardiologist!

 

[Nick87]

I'd say so.

 

[JShane]

You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

My wife said she’s going to sell my guns….NOT!

He must be anti gun because what in the hell does shooting a gun and heart health have anything to do with each other? Maybe thr adreline rush of shooting a huge buck?

It's spreading, quickly inform them both the need for the rifle as a component to moderate exercise

I’ve taken my rifles on a lot of long walks. I’ll bring that up to both of them.

 

[JustinsDad]

Definitely an anti gun doctor

My RUM with no brake will start a heart back up. Seriously though, makes sense to follow a doc's advice. mtmuley

@Big Slick Do you have a defib or pacemaker?

Uncle had a pacemaker put on they told him not to shoot, recoil can apparently mess it up.

I'd say you need to do a little more exploring and find out the why's and how she came to those conclusions. I don't know how familiar she is with guns or what type of heart issues you have, but a 416 Rigby and other big bore rifles do have significant recoil and 'shock power.' I've never been a fan of muzzle brakes, but a brake or a suppressor does a lot to tame recoil and that sudden shock wave. I definitely agree hunting is great physical and mental therapy, you'll find a way to stay out there hunting!

That is common advice for patients who have had multiple bypass. The rifle aspect anyway.

I am guessing open heart surgery. There is no natural material to hold it all together anymore. It can rupture the wires.

@noharleyyet ken, I had and afib event a couple weeks ago. Heart rate went to 160 for no known reason.

@mevertsen i had open heart surgery a little over 19 years ago, I haven’t had any issues shooting a rifle. Then again, the paper she was looking at was from Michigan……
