rifle shooting when one has a pacemaker

[Ron-Solo]

I've had a pacemaker for 12 years and shoot regularly. The only concern I'd have is direct recoil against the pacemaker. If in doubt, have him check with his cardiologist.

On another note, He's 80+ years old, a WWII vet, and still wants to go shooting. GO FOR IT ! Let him enjoy life. And thank him for me for his service!

How about a bench rest or recoil pad?

Unless you're shooting a magnetic powered gun i dont think your dad needs to worry. A pacemaker can be damaged by a magnetic field. As long as you don't use your dad as a fridge magnet holder he will be fine. My uncle has a pacemaker and he shoots all the time.
