I have been dealing with pain in my left hip for some time now.
It has got to the point that I can only walk a short distance until it becomes too painful.
I have an appointment to have the hip replaced next month.
This has been effecting my ability to get out and shoot like I want.
I am typically an upbeat active person but having to sit around this much has caused me to get depressed.
Yesterday I was sitting around feeling sorry for myself and decided to grab my S&W Model 14 and a couple of boxes of light wadcutter loads and head for the hills.
After finding a remote area with a good backstop I shot up a box and a half shooting at knobcone pine cones.
They are great reactive targets.
I left with a smile on my face no longer feeling depressed.
Shooting is good therapy for me.
I am sure that shooting, casting , and reloading are good therapy for others.
