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."

TELL HIM TO TRY WRIST WEIGHTS
WORKS WITH BOW, TOO

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

That sucks, you can't always carry a concealed rifje......

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.

Please point him in the direction of Obama voters - oops, too late they put the idiot back in the White house - sigh, another 4 years without work.

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.
