Probably bothers bystanders, too

Dr. Grumpy: "How are you doing with the new medication?"

Mr. Firearm: "Fine. The tremor is much better. Now it only bothers me when I'm shooting a handgun."

    Still, I'd rather know he was practicing and carrying than just carrying. Most threatening encounters happen within five feet when guns are involved.

    LOL! Anonymous is right -- wrist weights will help steady him.

    If Pt. goes to a range, ask him to talk with range instructor. He/She can help. Also, if you know a physical therapist who will not go "AAAAAAARG" when the Pt. wants to re-learn how to safely handle a weapon, get that person involved.

    I think it bothers me when he is shooting a handgun, too. It should probably bother all of us when a guy with a tremor is shooting a handgun!

    I think that is an absolutely reasonable concern. Holding the front sight steady is crucial to accuracy. Even a mild tremor or weakness is going to affect his scores. You should work with him further and perhaps consider other therapies that could further reduce his problem.
