I learned from work that, if you have an excessively jumpy or kicky animal no matter how restrained it is in the chute (and this goes for IM shots), is to stick the needle in first, then after the animal had thrown its fit,
I don't know what kind of chutes ya'll use or you don't have them adjusted properly but I can adjust my chute to restrain anything from a 2000lb + bull to a 300lb calf so that the animal is restrained and not jumping or moving around
if they are still jumping around so much you have to worry about injecting yourself then you really don't have them restrained do you?
also Aaron we have used the Allflex guns for SQ and IM injections for yrs with no problem I don't see why you can't
