I found this infographic to be very interesting. I’ve often noted the stress release and renewed vigor found after heading to the range at my lunch break. Endorphins, of course. The same reason I like spicy food.Source: The Biology Behind Shooting: Wha…

It’s not been from lack trying, but I just haven’t been able to get to a range in over two weeks. Inclement weather last weekend caused the cancellation of a match I had planned to attend. Hoping for a quick escape from the office, I’ve been blocking out an occasional lunch break on my calendar, in theory to avoid anyone scheduling something for me.

I shot for about 30 minutes, putting 150 rounds down range.

It was simply good, relaxing fun. As an unrepentant multi-tasker, who works through lunch most days, I look forward to some time behind the gun, where I concentrate on one and only one task, to the exclusion of other concerns.
