Won't crush them

Thanks! Hey, I plan to do a YouTube video about shooting with the bow, so I will be sure you see it. I am truly not a social media person either, just Instagram/YouTube/Forum, but it is all based on helping others with arm prosthetics. What are some realistic ideas for crushing things do you guys have in mind? The Greifer can take a beating.

Thanks for subscribing! Do you do Instagram by chance? I have a compound bow, crossbow, rifles, and handguns. I hold the compound with the fake arm, and draw with my sound arm. I am only confident out until about 25 yards. Arm gets wiggly relatively quick. This is because I only have about 2” of arm below the elbow, imagine holding a 4 lb prosthetic arm that is holding a bow all off of 2” of arm, gets heavy quick! Its like trying to hold a sledgehammer straight out with your hand, so its horizontal, and in line with your arm lol

Not gonna happen, lol.

No, BUT I could rip my arm off and smash it on the ground a guitar at at a concert

For reference, a few posts up I used a 61” Scag Turf Tiger. That field is roughly 7 acres, mowing at about half speed of what the mower can travel at, it takes about 2.75 hrs to mow. what comes to mind from moving from a 44 to a 60 is 16” wider passes....so every 4 passes/lines mowed with a 60, you saved yourself a pass/line across the lawn compared to the 44. You might only save yourself 10 minutes, hard to say.

What type of stuff we talking? Like a can of soda/beer that’s unopened? If so, no they wont. Empty cans, yes. There are a couple hands out there that do not have enough strength to hold a jar of pickles, while you twist the cap with your real hand, the whole jar will spin in the hand. The hands I use don’t have these issues though. Typically, the hands have plenty of strength, along with adequate rubber finger grips to work with each other to provide realistic grip strength/hold. The Greifer I use, thats the pinch claw gray tool I use, that will probably pinch through skin, thats no joke that thing, absolute beast.

Love this reply man, no worries! All good! https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCeJe9vkUrihdd0xmog8Z0sA i was born missing my arm about 2” below my elbow. The electric hands have pressure switches to not crush objects, but they are plenty strong enough to chainsaw, etc! You are not at all a PITA, I love sharing this stuff, if you have Instagram, I post very often showing what the hand can do. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. I type with my sound hand.

I use cow rub for sausage and peppers, and its incredible

I don’t know much about this new hand, honestly. I know the creator, created the Bebionic hand though. We shall see, thanks for the support

My number one fan you are! You passed the test! Thanks buddy

Do you follow my YouTube?? Just curious

Update! Today I received a phone call from the office that I was chosen to trial a new myoelectric hand for 2-3 weeks starting Wednesday! I’m excited, I plan to add videos to my Instagram, and YouTube.

The limb will just automatically overtime acclimate to the inner socket, so the limb shrinks in circumference. It is literally as simple as that. Apparently, its common to need to tweak the inner socket after a few months, or so. Weight gain/loss can absolutely play a huge roll in socket fitment. I chose to delay the definitive version, this arm was so comfortable, and I was enjoying the clear arm, so I asked to hold off awhile....glad I did. lol, I haven’t done any destructive videos. Thinking maybe I should hmmm

Update: for those interested, I still have not gone forward with a definitive arm. I still am using the clear arm that is temporary. Over the past few months I have been experiencing fitment issues. My real arm has shrunk...only where it sits inside the fake arm. My real arm has just molded to the inner shape of the fake arm. This has created issues with the arm feeling secure, and the vacuum that is supposed to be created from a properly fitting socket. This results in the fake arm slowly sliding off, it never falls off, but i lose the vacuum, and it feels loose on me, pretty annoying actually. The hand itself has been holding up pretty well.
