Goodyear, AZ – Benefits of Shooting for Stress Relief | Tactical Gun Range News

Local gun range provides outlet for stress

We all have stressors in our life. After a tough day at the office, it can be healthy to unwind and release some of the negative energy we can all carry around occasionally.

When searching for a great way to remove stress, activities which can stimulate the mind, release endorphins and remove a person from the daily grind for a period of time are all things to keep in mind. Many people in our community have found this solace in a trip to our shooting range.

Our facility is the go-to shooting range for people in Phoenix, Goodyear, Glendale and the surrounding areas. Not only do we have state of the art shooting ranges, we offer world-class training and an extensive catalog of firearms, ammo and accessories for sale.

When it comes to stress relief, few things are as effective as some time on the range. We stress an environment of safe and responsible shooting, and when you take steps to do so safely, visiting the shooting range is the perfect way to escape from the world.

Shooting is an exercise of the mind as much as it is of the body. While the right grip, stance and alignment are all correct, effective shooting involves training your eyes, steadying your breathing and focusing completely on the task at hand. By focusing on your shots, the things you are worried about will slowly creep out of your mind.

If you enjoy time to yourself, time on the range can be therapeutic as well. Our private shooting ranges allow you to escape from the world and leave your worries outside of the facility.

Learning a new skill can also relieve stress. The feeling of progression which accompanies practicing shooting can combat feelings of worry or stress. Whether you are a brand new gun owner or a seasoned marksman, getting better and learning to be a safer shooter can lead to a feeling of accomplishment, which defeats feelings of stress.

While some people like to shoot solo to relieve stress, there is also the option to make shooting a social outing among friends. In these situations, the feeling of camaraderie can lead to less stress and an overall good time. We also offer group classes, which can combine the social aspect with the feeling of satisfaction which accompanies learning to perfect your craft.

Because we foster an environment of safety at all times, our guests can feel comfortable and a visit to the range reduces stress rather than elevates it. Our guests and members alike rave about the positive energy and comfortable shooting environment of our facility, and we have many members who use it as their escape from the outside world.

If you have been feeling the weight of the world lately and need a new escape, try a visit to the shooting range. While it’s not the most conventional stress reliever, the adrenaline which accompanies shooting, the satisfaction of improvement and the focus it takes to shoot effectively all make a trip to the range a great way to destress.
