Not nearly enough.

No where as much as when I was young.
It just kinda falls out. Sometimes I might get a flyer our two.

You STILL need to practice that much?

I was lucky, I was able in my 20s and early 30s to shoot rifle/pistol 4 days a week. Established muscle memory. Carrying every day reinforces handling habits. Hitting the range every 6 weeks or so ensures I still know how to shoot the contraption.

The older you get, the less time you have for all of the important stuff in life. Hitting the range is just one of the sacrifices.

I live with ready access to lots of open public space... and I have lazors and green goggles. I do most of my shooting at night.

It's probably the most shooting I've done since my service rifle phase. I am absolutely loving it.

I am usually shooting every Saturday, and some weeks on Sunday. In a summer I might squeeze a Monday or Wednesday of shooting in there.

In fact I am packing my ammo cans and my range bags as we speak.

Not nearly as much as I'd like.

I'm prob averaging a couple times a month but that's a stretch.

Was going to go to the 3gun match at GCRP this morning but my family decided we were doing early Christmas today. Then, after I scrubbed the mission Mrs Ltlabner tells me we aren't going until 3pm so I could have gone.

Sigh....

Other than sighting in my hunting rifle, I haven't gone shooting in almost a year.

Same, plus its cold as hell on the range this time of year.

I used to shoot weekly, at least bimonthly. But I can't afford the ammo prices and the local stores haven't got any 22 stock yet.

Posted: 12/20/2014 10:48:55 AM EDT

[#14]

I try to get to the range 2-3 times every week.

Posted: 12/20/2014 10:51:22 AM EDT

[#15]

Every 3-4 months now, down from once a month.

Trap, 7-9k rds - Mar. thru Oct., then hibernate until spring.

Live fire 8-10x a month, dry fire training 5x a week.

Since I bought my house in June I shot for the first time a couple weeks ago.

I had been dry firing since June about 3-5 nights a week.

My shooting greatly improved in that time.

i went to the range once last summer

Posted: 12/20/2014 11:32:29 AM EDT

Athe least twice, more often 3 times a month, plus occasional class or event. Since joining the, range not on a clock so sessions are longer and more fun/productive.

[#22]

As an RSO, everyday before I open the range for general shooting hours. It nice, but do a lot of reloading!!!

Posted: 12/20/2014 11:45:46 AM EDT

[#23]

For awhile it was once every 1-2 months, but with the ammo shortage it dropped off a lot. 1 or 2 times a year the last couple of years. Had to clean my carry gun due to lint buildup rather than usage for the first time back mid 2014...

When my local gun club runs CMPs, I try to hit them all, which, this fall, was once or twice a month.

Posted: 12/20/2014 11:52:26 AM EDT

[#25]

I've taken the month of December off from shooting handguns, but for most of the year, I practice once/week, 300 rounds/practice for USPSA. I usually shoot the club matches one weekend per month. We mix Rifles in after practice usually. We miss a weekend from time to time for vacations or other obligations but stay pretty consistent.

This unfortunately.
And this IMO will be top reply

Couple of times a month.

Between paying the range and paying the ammo fairy, it's all I afford.

I'm trying to build up a little bit of a stockpile of 5.56 for my new AR, but between wedding stuff and holidays I can barely scrape enough together to keep a dozen mags loaded.

Posted: 12/20/2014 11:58:41 AM EDT

Once every few months. So... Not enough.

Ammo prices are totally back to normal.

I haven't been been out in over a year.

I work so much that I'm lucky to get to the range 2-3 times a year.

Posted: 12/21/2014 1:25:14 AM EDT

[#32]

When I was running a match, I shot a couple of times a month. Since I stopped running the match, I'm lucky to get to the range once a month.

Posted: 12/21/2014 1:26:03 AM EDT

[#33]

I make it a point to go at least once a week.

Posted: 12/21/2014 1:26:52 AM EDT

I'm one of the guys that goes to every weapons qual the department offers, even though we're only mandated to attend two per year.

Cripes I've been so busy with life and school I haven't even been to the handgun range this year.

I competed twice in .22 steel plate fun shoots and did okay enough, but my timing was off. If I didn't dry fire I'd have almost no range time.

Rifle, I went 3 or 4 times to the 100 yd range.

I'd like to go get some handgun trigger therapy once before the end of the year... we shall see. I'm used to going far more often - once a month at least. 2014 was not a good year for trigger time for me!
