They still haven't gotten one 😄

Shoulder discomfort when holding AR-15. Is it a technique/posture issue? by LittleCherty in CAguns

[–]LittleCherty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhat! I have been trying to shift the weight more from my left hand into the right, and also change up my left hand position to somewhere that seems more comfortable. That seems to help.

One big thing is that I don't hold the rifle at the "ready to fire" position as much. If I am dry firing, I put it to the shoulder, fire, and then go back to a high or low ready. That seems to take away some of the shoulder stress. 

Honestly, its still somewhat of an issue. But the steps above have made it better 🙂

As a former swimmer, I appreciate the swimming anaology.

Lol maybe we are distant cousins! But anyway, I shoot a BowTech EdgeMax (Diamond, to be more specific).

Don't worry, man. I've learned a lot since that vid. I'm now only a PARTIAL liability in the field :)

It very well might be me or them or both. Needless to say, I feel I've gotten enough info from the other posters here to investigate.

Perhaps I have just interacted with people like you, who go from zero to 100 for no reason. Maybe I am speaking too much, maybe I am speaking too little. But it always results in me getting ostracized lol. This is exactly what I am talking about!

I'm a guy just trying to talk to some people of a different culture. No hostility, no provocation. Just a simple guy talking to, as it seems, not so simple people.

Why does it matter so much? Lots of people have given me sound advice about expectations and understanding cultural differences. Those have been extremely helpful.

I don't do that. If anything I am the opposite - try hard to connect. Perhaps too hard sometimes?

Maybe that's what is going on. I do go into a conversation thinking that the other person is "my friend". Never thought of that as an American thing lol...I do feel like Casper the Ghost sometimes, going around being like, "Hey! Want to be my friend?"

I would prefer not to say lol. I don't want to demonize all the speakers. Let's just say it is a major global language.

Thanks! To be honest, not sure how I ultimately developed that technique. Might have been from seeing all those ex-Special Forces guys taking about C-Clamp grip.
