I have a problem. I have just (re)taken up shooting.

I am shooting mostly a .40 cal Sig 239 and a 9mm Sig 239.

About twenty rounds or so in to a session my right arm and hand begin to tremble significantly. Before I go out I can hold a full half gallon carton of milk at arm's length without this happening. An hour after I get back I can do this too. But in the middle of a session (after the initial twenty rounds) my right hand is almost palsy-like. It is annoying as hell.

This last time I made sure that I ate and only had one cup of coffee. I was not dehydrated or anything. I work out and can easily curl 25 lbs. 15-20 times with either arm.

Even when this trembling thing is happening I can do 20 or 30 incline push-ups with no dificulty so the problem should not be arm strength, rather it is a fine motor skill problem. It does not happen with my left hand...although I don't shoot as many rounds with my left.

Any ideas about this? Is the recoil a shock that has to be gotten used to or something? No history of stroke or hypertension. Blood pressure normal. The only other info that I can ad is that I am a heavy computer mouse user.

I feel like the "Waco Kid" in Blazing Saddles...for those that remember the joke.

Any CHL carrying Doctors out there that are off the clock?
