i shoot as often as i can afford to.

here lately, that ain't very often.

Yeah with the ammo prices going up and the fact that you can't hardly find any, I don't shoot much anymore.
When I do find ammo, I just hoard as much as I can afford.

once a week minimum, sometimes twice. It's my only "hobby".

Rifle at least once a month and I usually shoot at least 500 rounds
Pistol maybe a little more often but some where in the range of 50-100 rounds each time

At least once a week. But its only because I shoot trap league on two teams.
I try to get some 22lr shooting in. And 223 when I'm feeling rich

time and the $$ of ammo makes it hard..

I try to get out every month. Especially now that I have a 10/22 and Spikes .22 AR, I can afford to shoot more.

I haven't shot in couple years. Maybe even three years or more.

Posted: 6/14/2009 5:31:15 PM EDT

At least twice a week, sometimes 3 times a week.

I need to go shooting more.

I went to the skeet range today. Before that, and besides shooting a rattlesnake at work the other day, I hadn't shot since the first week of February.

ETA- last week of January. I shot my (new to me) 1911 the day after I got it, then I couldn't find ammo for like 4 months.

Double.

I haven't been in a few months. Between the price of ammo and the fatigue I feel at the end of the week, all I want to do is sleep the entire weekend.

I'm surprised you don't have a range on your property as much as you shoot/review/etc..

my budget only allows me to shoot once a month . I have a few .22's I can shoot whenever I feel like but the exspensive stuff sits tilll I can afford to replace whats shot .

Posted: 6/14/2009 6:26:25 PM EDT

[#17]

Summer time I shoot less.

Lot's of yard work and I also like to fish.

Winter time once a week .

Posted: 6/14/2009 6:27:33 PM EDT

[#18]

I shoot at home, so I shoot more often but in small amounts.

Posted: 6/14/2009 6:40:43 PM EDT

[#19]

I shoot my on duty (Glock G22) once a week, sometimes more.
I shoot my off duty (Glock G23) twice a month, sometimes more.
I shoot my other handguns once a month, sometimes less.

I don't shoot my rifles as much as I should.

i don't get to shoot near enough

I guess about 2-3 times a week in this good weather. I'm down to about 7-8000 srp. so have been slowing up a bit, also I hunt Chuck's more this time of year here..

About 70 -125 rnd's 204,223,22-250 per session total.

Once or twice a month.

Looking to up it to three times.

I wish I did.

However, I thank God that I have two public ranges available within 20 miles of home.

Almost everyday, When the weather cooperates.
Shooting is just not that fun at 40 below.

The short growing season, however, is unbeatable IMHO.

Yeah Yeah I know, Yuk it up, bunch of fudd guns and a fricking Highpoint. Say what you want but I have my fun.

Every other day.

I've owned guns/ ammo since '03, but I've only fired one of them, and that on only one occasion 3 years ago.

With a wife and family, and living in a part of the country where I need to actually get off my ass, make time, and go to a range to shoot, it just hasn't happened.

I know it's important though, and will hopefully shoot more often in the future.

EVERY SUNDAT AFTERNOON

I try to go out 2-3 times a month. Each time I shoot 2 mags of rifle ammunition, one box of pistol ammunition, and don't even bother counting the amount of .22. I'm not going to burn up 2-300 rounds of rifle ammo in a trip like I used to, but I refuse to let high prices destroy perishable skills.

I would say every 3 months or so. I would shoot more but ammo is hard as hell to find and expensive once you do find it. I would reload but can't find a damn primer to save my life, and I'm not going to spend 100 bucks for 1000 primers. THus I sit here, play on Arfcom, and offroad with my spare time.

I really wish this "panic buying" bullshit would pass so I could get back to my hobby. If it keeps this way I think I'm going to sell some of the EBR's and invest it in offroad equipment for the Jeep.

And to think, I belong to a rifle club with a 1000 yd range, silhouettes, pistol range, 22 range, etc etc and yet I do not shoot.

FUCK OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't go to the range right now but I really think I've just about killed everything around the old place.

Guess I can retire now cause everything is either dead or wearing shaggy camo.

A country boy can survive but that doesn't nessesarily mean that all the other critters will.

Three times per week on average. Last week I shot 5 days.

Posted: 6/14/2009 7:40:33 PM EDT

[#32]

Last time I shot was 1 year ago today. 396/500 High Power.

I used to shoot weekly. :(

Posted: 6/14/2009 7:42:53 PM EDT

[#33]

once a week sometimes twice a week

Posted: 6/14/2009 7:42:57 PM EDT

[#34]

About once a month. In may i went once a week for three weeks, but then gas prices started to rise and I got tired of not being able to find ammo to replace what I shot.

Posted: 6/14/2009 7:46:27 PM EDT

[#35]

About once a month but recently just every other month.

I need more range time on my 1911 and 9mm AR.

Posted: 6/14/2009 7:59:02 PM EDT

[#36]

Every day.
Just a few shots with a scoped rifle firing .22LR CB.
On the weekends, 7-8 shots with the same rifle & ammo.
I want the sound to be a normal sound in the neighborhood.
I can't say what I'm practicing for or I might wind up with another Pit thread.

Handguns get warmed up every 2-3 weeks, just not nearly as warm as they used to be.

Long guns go to the range every other month or so. I've been keeping it down to a couple mags, max.

A Dillon 550 and some .45 bullet molds will be changing the intensity of the indoor range trips soon.

I can handle toning down the rifle fire, but I really like keeping the 1911 warm.

I've got a shit load of primers for 223/556, for half that, that I aquired in a trade. No hazmat rating so

I can't ship. If you have a way for someone to receive them for you in NW Arkansas, or

somewhere close by, shoot me a PM.....
