I had a PLIF surgery at L4/L5 (2013), so a similar process.
I was walking the day after the surgery. Walking was the bulk of my exercise for the first 2 months, then I started to get back on my bike (indoor trainer) at about 2-3 months.
I was fully recovered by about 7 months and racing my...
I thought I would get a Gunwerks in 2020, but I talked to Travis at RBros.
Glad I did, my RBros 7mm RM is the best gun I have purchased.
I am sure you would be happy with a Gunwerks, but there are some very good options out there and you will not be losing any quality, just saving $$.
What is your draw length?
FWIW - In 2019, I was looking to change bows from an Elite Ritual 33, and I tried Elite Ritual 35, Prime, Hoyt, Bowtech, and PSE.
I heard great things about Bowtech, but at my draw length the Bowtech's draw cycle was terrible in the last few inches. There was a huge...
With PF matching the upper/lower and barrel, it's a very accurate rifle. I would say it is easily a sub .5 MOA gun.
I tried the PF ammo with TTX Barnes 120 gr and Berger 130 gr and Hornady Black 123 g and SST 123 gr. The Berger 130 gr and Hornady options shoot well for me.
Mark is a good guy...
Mark does quality work. I had him make a 6.5 Grendel for me with a 22" Krieger barrel.
It took a while to complete the build, but I was able to get exactly what I wanted.
No surprise, Swarovski NL 12x42 were amazing. Used for deer and hog hunting. Just amazing!
A little surprise to me was the Sniper Hog Light 66LRX light. Originally, I picked up a Fenix TK26R that has red/green light options, but it could not focus a beam. The red/green filters simply had a...
My 300 WM is a Weatherby Vanguard with a custom muzzle brake. I start to notice the recoil after approximately 20-30 shots at the range.
My RBros 7mm RM has an APA Little Bastard muzzle brake and is lighter than the 300 WM, but I don't notice the recoil. I believe the design of the rifle with...
My goto is the Lord's Prayer. I don't consider myself a religious person, but I memorized this when I was a kid and it helps calm my mind down when it's racing at times.

For managing work stress, I have a few techniques that seem to work.
I keep my email inbox down to about 5 emails at the end of each day. For me this means I have either taken care of what needs to be addressed or scheduled it for later in the week on my calendar. This makes my todos seem less...
