Quote HistoryQuoted: Been a couple years here too. Between having a kid and ammo prices, it's been too long. My accuracy has gone to shit too, it really is a perishable skill. The one time I shot a couple months ago it was bad. Ugh. Need to get back to it now more than ever. I on the other hand have no problem with accuracy, I can pick up anything I am familiar with and shoot well, except Glocks. |

Think it's been a year unfortunately. Hopefully a range trip is planned for tomorrow.

It's been at least a couple years for me also.
First it was cataracts, then the plandemic ammo pricing bullshit. |

Last Saturday. I try to go once a week but this doesn’t always work out.
On average, I usually end up going 3X a month. |

I bought a pile of junk wolf 223 years ago…still shooting it.
In retrospect, it was a good deal…but it’s super bad for the gun. It thrashed a colt so com barrel in 5k rounds. |

I just got back from the range an hour ago. Shot my Ruger 57. Sent 100 rounds down range, worth about $150 at today’s prices (I paid $36 for it a couple years ago)
Get out and shoot! |

I hardly ever shoot. I don’t even really care for it. But I don’t really care for much of anything anymore. Hobby wise.

Quote HistoryQuoted: About a month ago after picking up my new 365 XL. It's now my favorite CCW. Sold my 43x with no regerts I'll admit I'm not shooting anywhere near as much as I'd like to. I bought that same gun a few months ago. Haven’t shot it yet. |

I used to be terrible about getting out to shoot, but thankfully for the last couple years I’ve had a little 50 yard range in my backyard, so I shoot every couple of days on that. Usually I just run a magazine through my carry gun, or plink some cans with the kids. I have a 15-22 pistol that I shot 10 rounds through tonight, just because I got a new vortex red dot in the mail and wanted to try it out. Other times I’ll shoot a couple hundred rounds in a day, just depends on the weather and what else I have going on. I will say over the past year, .22 is probably 90% of what I’ve been shooting.

Quoted: I haven't shot a gun in two years. Partly because of time constraints, and partly because of the ammo shortage. I need to change that. When was the last time you had some range fun? About 15 minutes ago. Just got back from some handgun drills and sp5k fun |

Other than an occasional suppressor demo for a customer, same here.

Once a week at a minimum. I reload though.... and mainly shoot out to 600+ yards with bolt guns. So its not like I am dumping mags.
I run through maybe 300 rounds of 223 a month, but I have steel case and reloads piled up for that. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I envy you regular shooters Shooting always suffers due to time constraints—we always seem to put it at the bottom of the list. I shot a trapped fox recently, and because of hunting, especially waterfowl which goes from September until early January, I do shoot regularly. |

It's been while.
My next door neighbor walks and picks up trash, and it turns out she has some ammo, that she collects on her walks, that I got tonight. I think most is from garbage trucks/waste bins and college students dropping crap when moving. From the meager lot she gave me, there were 4 12ga shot shells, 1 20ga shot shell, and 11 .22lr rounds. A bunch of trash brass/aluminun, some brass I could tell was reloader discards by the plier smashed cases. I also discarded several full shot shells that had been run over and the crimp end compromised. |

Was going on 2 years until the 4th of july. Havent been able to go. Before covid one range had the outdoor range shut down. Another was remodeling and covid hit.

Tonight as a matter of fact. Went out with some friends and did some night shooting.
ETA: so far this year, between 9mm, 5.56, 7.62 and .22lr I’m just over 3k rounds fired. |

In two months, heading to instructor school that calls for 2.5k just with pistol. Looking forward to it. |

Use to go every other week until the Commie Cyna Syndrome hit. Went nearly six months dry spell then started going every other week again. Now we are at once a month to conserve ammo. I at least am able to shoot once a week with my S.O. but we are at a 50 round limit for service pistol and patrol rifle each and 20 rounds of shotgun. Our S.O. Supplies the practice rounds so no worries. We use to be able to shoot a hell of a lot more than that but these are strange times.
