I recently had a stent in my right coronary artery & I'm doing great. I had my follow-up yesterday and asked the cardiologist if the shock from shooting high powered rifles or shotguns would be a problem... He said to definately avoid it for 90 more days, then added that no one had ever asked him about that before... He seemed to be concerned, but didn't say I couldn't do it - just that we'll see in 90 days....I suppose his concern is with the recoil or shock experienced when shooting round after round and the potential for stent problems....
Has anyone here had a heart stent and returned to shooting rifles/shotguns? Any problems?
