Question

Is it possible to shoot a gun with a boxers' fracture?
Just curious if anyone has ever tried this

Answer 1

I don't know what a boxers fracture is but you can learn to shoot left or right handed. I knew a guy who shot with three fingers. he did well.

Answer 2

Of course, it depends upon severity of the injury. But, it is unlikely, even if the pinky knuckle led in the boxer impact. Fist clenching returns / heals first and the ability to extend the knuckles doesn't really improve enough for the strength required for a trigger pull for appoximately two weeks. Some weapons, though, require much less strength for triggering. If pinning / surgery was done, there would be less range of motion during healing.

Answer 3

Yes....my ex-partner was a Vietnam Vet war hero whose hands were so badly broken in the war that he had all of the tips of his fingers blown off. He spent 3 years in a VA hospital & still became a great marksman years later. He also became a black belt in karate.
