I'm putting this here because I believe whole-heartedly that stress management and relaxation are keys to good health.
Since I'm not teaching riot control anymore, or supervising the team, I now only get one REALLY good day a year at work. That's the day we go to the range and I get to shoot someone else's ammo up.
But this summer, while trying to help a close friend through some challenging times, I rediscovered the simple joys of shooting .22 caliber firearms. First and foremost, it's really inexpensive. 550 rounds for under $10 on sale. Second, you don't have to walk hundreds of yards (or ride the ATV) to change targets. And finally, even the equipment isn't all that expensive.
I just bought a mount, scope rings, and a scope for my father's .22 LR. Less than $125 tied up in it. I already shoot 1 1/2" groups with that rifle using iron sights. I expect to have 1/2" groups with the scope. And so next month I will do something I haven't done in years, go squirrel hunting. A nice quiet, relaxing day in the woods. Might even see a squirrel or two. (potatoes, carrots, corn, onions, chicken broth, and a couple of bushy-tails,,,,YUM!)
Anybodey else here into the shooting sports as a means of R&R?
