I am getting a limbsaver and looking into a muzzlebreak. Yes, I am old and deaf to boot so the loud crack of a rifle will not bother me. LOL After 3 major surgeries on my neck, I sure would hate to mess it up.
Now I need to get a crossbow if I cant pull my bow. It is a High Country x10. I can turn it down to 60 lbs. Hope I can pull it. I sound like a wuss! LOL 6'6" and 300 pounds having trouble pulling a 60 pound bow. Just goes to show you how quick you can mess yourself up. I slip in wet grass and break my neck. Go figure. Any way, thank yall very much for the help! Good to hear from ya Downshift. Wish I still had the gyp I got from ya. She would be real special now, she was getting there in a hurry before she died. ><> del

I'd definitely look into a brake. Even an old decrepit fella like you can handle a .243 with a muzzle brake 
I'm sure there's a gunsmith somewhere near you who can quote you a price on one. I imagine getting a plain jane muzzle brake put on is pretty cheap. I don't see how it could take him more than an hour or two.
Get a crossbow if you can afford to spend some money on one. No need to risk screwing yourself up over using a compound. With the cocking assist mechanisms they have on the market today, I imagine you'll be able to find one that'll work easily. Obviously, check with your doctor.
I should have kept that dog
