Hap Rocketto on the affliction:

"For any shooter who has lain, swaddled and sweating, in a leather shooting coat on a hot August afternoon at Camp Perry while frantically searching through the mirage for a target 1,000 yards away, the irony of the site's present use is not lost. Today the hulking red brick buildings that loom over Long Islands' Union Turnpike, about 15 miles east of New York City's Central Park, house one of the Empire State's largest mental hospitals: Creedmoor."
