Question for folks: Anyone have experience with participating in activities like shooting with heart-failure type issues? Specifically, when fatigue and shortness of breath is a problem.
Private replies, please.

The only real problem I have is not being able to shoot long guns of any large caliber any more. I grew up shooting them, and shot a lot in the USMC as a member of the national rifle team.
With my defib/pacemaker combo unit, I have been told that shoulder impacts are a no-no, so I have switched to pistols. I can still shoot my .22 rifles, but miss the long range shooting.
