While this is written in a light-hearted way, I find that range time does much to sooth the soul. Serious target work requires zen-like concentration.

my .44 mag was my first handgun....going against the experts who suggest a .22 rimfire or .38 should be your first....I loaded the Redhawk up with full house loads and blammed away....I did develop a flinch so I got the .22 Mk 2 Ruger to ease up a bit...
a good trick to control flinching with a revolver is to load 2 or 3 rounds spin the cylinder and fire each shot as if there was a round in it....if it goes click and you flinch, you will know it...then you can concentrate on not flinching. mind over matter...it will work if you can concentrate on it.
my .54 caliber Hawkin(replica) muzzle loader kicks worse than any gun I have....a good trick is to hold these FIRMLY against your shoulder.....holding it lightly because you fear the recoil will give you MORE recoil....

With the following you can get your recoil reward and trigger time, in 5.56, or with a CMMG stainless kit, your trigger time with optics yoga without recoil reward:

I love my 9mm, but sometimes I just like plinking with my Browning Buckmark .22. Dirt cheap ammo yet still relieves the stress.

Hope they clear the snow at our local therapy center, so I can get a little 100 yard therapy going this weekend....

I would LOVE to take my Dan Wesson .45 to the range more... but burning through .45 rounds is pricey!!

Man, you said it....it took me a while to understand why/how I would be so exhausted after even an hour on the range. And my 23 year old son says the same thing.
Zen-like concentration indeed...

You can never have too much “therapy”. Usually start off saying, “ I’ll just shoot the 9 a little” and end up getting the big guns out.

I need to get some M1 carbine therapy in soon. I use my .22 just to keep my groups tight, but love to shoot the carbine.
