There has been things written about shooting and helping mental issues and stress and ever body said it defiantly a big help . I found if i had a stress full day ,then went out water skying everything was forgotten same as when i got back into shooting .
It doesn't mater what hobby you do ,at some point you will think " Iam not enjoying this as much as I us to do" , best to take a break then come back and see what you think again
What ever you do ,just enjoy it , after having two friends die in the last three weeks at the age of 49 and 52, we never know what is round the corner
