Hey guys I wanted to know how many rounds you end up going through each range session. I usually go to an indoor 25 yard range and shoot on average 30 rounds through my M4 clone and about 40-50 rounds out of my HK USP .40 S&W. Thats about $16 spent for nothing.
Now recently I have started going to some property that my mother owns. It has always been a hassle because whenever we shoot there, the police or sherieff has to come by and pay us a visit. It seems when I am outdoors I burn through ammo
REALLY FAST. I mean
REALLY FAST.
When I go to the indoor range I spend alot of time talking and bsing. I am always concerned about ammo consumption because my only source of income is $25 a week mowing our yard, or do odd and end chores around the house for mom or dad. When I visited my informal range I shot about 180 rounds of XM193 and 100 rounds of .40 S&W in a matter of perhaps 1 hour. At the indoor range we are there for perhaps 3-4 hours and shoot 30/50. Thats 80 rounds in 4 hours, compared to 280 in 1. It sure is fun to do mag dumps on the move and shoot at empty pop cans filled with water, milk jugs with water, and jello filled beer bottles that dad got finished with. The only problem is the police and ammo usage.
So I am wondering, how many rounds do you guys shoot in an average range session? How often do you go? I go once a week and shoot 30/50 rounds. But I sure do want to take alot more trips to my informal outdoor range
