Shooting activities

[tonymcluthes]

All shooters should wear protective shooting glasses and some form of hearing protectors while shooting. Exposure to shooting noise can damage hearing, and adequate vision protection is essential. Shooting glasses guard against twigs, falling shot, clay target chips and the rare ruptured case or firearm malfunction. Wearing eye protection when disassembling and cleaning any gun will also help prevent the possibility of springs, spring tension parts, solvents or other agents from contacting your eyes. There is a wide variety of eye and ear protectors available. No target shooter, plinker or hunter should ever be without them.

Holding and shooting a gun is exhilarating by its very nature. It takes us back to our primal selves and our urge to hunt. The rush of adrenaline that accompanies any shooting experience is an immense positive to your health.

For one thing, it feels great! It hones your mind, energizes your body, and floods your system with mood-enhancing neurochemicals. You walk away from the range or the hunt feeling happier and lighters than before.
