Airgun shooting for people with PTSD

Yeah, totally. If I weren't so self absorbed right now I wish that I could put some time in w our county's 4-H shooting club. Volunteerism should be encouraged
There are a lot of people who could use the social time. & there's nothing wrong w having a customer as a casual friend either. PTSD shouldn't be something that necessarily excludes a person from the activity IMO. Obviously there are risks, but there are risks within the general public too.

Just go ask them. I have plenty of buddies that have ptsd as well, and they have fun shooting both airguns and powder guns. There are a few that say no, and that is ok. Just offer and don't be pushy.
People seem to think vets or people with ptsd are to fragile to do anything. Just ask and if they say no then drop it

Imagine that shooting airguns in real life instead of Zombies on a video game. There should be a dedicated Air Ranges for everyone.

This talk brings back the sadness caused by 36 yo. Mr.Wong,a veteran with PTSD,who in March 9,2018 killed three counselors who only goals were to help veterans.
This happened at the Yountville Veterans Hospital ,Mr. Wong committed suicide after killing the three counselors.....
They were professional counslors working at a VA Hospital......take that all in before saying something you do not know nothing about!
This hurts.Good people killed for trying to help someone.It better to think of the worst case scenario in cases like this....
Another thing ;]the poster should have asked professionals or went to a VA home first ,to ask such a question like that here shows lack of understanding...I want to thank those that gave intelligent answers.I get pretty emotional about this because I use to go to Yountville VA often.
