        <![CDATA[ Hey all--


I have a son, 25, who is 13 years post-trauma; he suffered a significant TBI (traumatic brain injury) at age 12. His road back has been a long, strange
experience. The net effect: a missed adolescence, some memory problems, a little loss of vision in his left peripheral field. (Heck, he was actually blinded by
the injury but fought back.) Now, John is a big old dude who&#39;s just getting by like everyone else (with some help from his folks).


He&#39;s never expressed a strong... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ As a physician and a shooting enthusiatst I am pleased but not surprised to hear the good news that the &#39;shooting therapy&#39; is helpful. You are also
right, .22 is the cat&#39;s meow. I shoot more .22 than everything else put together.

I have several patients who have become friends/shooting buddies of mine that I take to the range regularly. One has MS and is in a wheelchair. Another has had
a spinal cord injury and severy neuropathy. Another with sleep apnea and diabetes,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ In the days before Political Correctness blighted even our health and rehabilitation services,

target shooting was considered an optimal rehabilitative therapy for Brain Injury patients ( Trauma, Strokes and Birth Defects, such as cerebral palsy).

When I was just a teenage shooter, I remember a man in his sixties, who was badly handicapped by Polio as a child (in the 1930s), who regularly came shooting
at our club range with Handloads (cast lead) which he made himself. He had... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ It is sort of a preference type thing. If one can do it with both eyes open, it is supposedly better. Especially when shooting trap, skeet or sporting clays. I
wish you and your son well. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ It was a good experience.  The boy told me he aims &amp; shoots with both eyes open--wow--he&#39;s right handed and told me he makes the sight picture with his
right eye, but the left eye remains open. Is he on to something-? Do other shooters use this method-? I tried it and went right back to the squint-eye method.

			<description><![CDATA[ That&#39;s great! He worked his motor skills and eyes and no doubt felt a great degree of accomplishment - and had some FUN to boot! I bet you feel proud, too.
Good job, I bet he wants to go back as soon as you do.

			<description><![CDATA[ Well--I took my son to the range today and it was a great success. We have a small pistol-only indoor range nearby who allows rim fire rifles. I took the 10-22
and my reliable old Mk1 Ruger. We started out at about 10 yds to get John accustomed to the rifle. Within three clips, he was staying inside a circle of about
7 inches or so, and found the bullseye a few times as well. We moved the target down to 15 yds and eventually to the last position at around 75 ft. The cool
thing was to see John... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ A couple of months ago Field &amp; Stream ran an article about four partially disabled young veterans. Magnificent young men who reclaimed their love of
shooting and fishing sports. Inspiring it was to read about these men and your son almost certainly has a much potential. Give it a go and give your son our
voice of support. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I think it would be wonderful therapy for him! Just make sure he wears a set of ear plugs under muffs at the range and watch him. When he starts bringing home
targets with the X ring shot out of them for bragging rights, you know your job is done. As he progresses, you can introduce him to larger center-fire caliber
rifles and he could become a very good marksman. Regardless, it is very cheap therapy no matter how you look at it.
