[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How often do you shoot (Page 1 of 2)

On average I like to at least once every couple of weeks. Sometimes twice a week.

IBTP?

I haven't been to the range in 12 months.

I try to go at least once a week.

In Colorado, usually every other day since I have a range in my backyard.

Here in FL, once or twice in the last 3 months.

FL, at least the southern half, really isn't a "shooters paradise". Good gun laws, few shooting options, but then again, I'm spoiled in CO.

Not often enough... Averaging once a month or so recently... At some point I was doing pistols once a week.

Once a month if im lucky.

Every other day or so (in my back yard) - silence is golden.

Generally a couple of times a week. I'm fortunate to be able to just walk out the backdoor and have it though.

Posted: 6/14/2009 2:31:51 PM EDT

Once a month maybe. Some 9mm, some .45, and some maybe 7.62x39.

It varies, but on average probably about once every 3 weeks. Unfortunately I've been out of town for work and haven't been shooting since the 1st of the year.

Will be home soon though.

Before the ammo / primer crunch, I'd spend a day at the rifle range about once a month and maybe go to the indoor pistol range once or twice a month. Right now, I'm taking it slow; haven't been in about 2 months. Been conserving primers since I'm down to about 600.

But, I just scored a 1000 ct box of CCI #41s so it's time to get back on a schedule.

On average, ~50 rds/day. Short, quick practice to help reinforce habits.

Some missed days can't be helped, though...

not since sometime last year

Posted: 6/14/2009 2:34:12 PM EDT

One - two times a month.

Been shooting .22 and .308s mostly.

Probably going to cut down on the .308 soon.

Last year I went to the range about once a week, a few times I made it twice a week. Now I haven't been but once this year. Ammo is not so much the problem as finding a place to go. Local indoor range is now $300 for individual membership. Last year I paid $100 for a family membership.

My goal is once a week. Reality is about half that.

Posted: 6/14/2009 2:35:38 PM EDT

[#17]

I shoot by myself every Sunday and shoot a local LEO match once a month.

Posted: 6/14/2009 2:36:26 PM EDT

[#18]

I used to shoot around 50 rounds of .38, 100 rounds of .22, 60 rounds of 7.62x39, 40 rounds of 7.62x54r, and a box of .308 a week pre-election. Now maybe 200 rounds of .22 a month with a box of .308 every two months

Due to both cost increase and availability.

Typically, once a week. Sometimes twice. I have an indoor range nearby, and it is really is to just stop in and pop off a hundred or two hundred rounds. Max distance is 25 yards, so it's almost all pistol, with occasional close-in speed drills with carbine. I hardly ever get out to shoot rifles at rifle distance –– maybe two or three times a year.

Really?

I thought in AZ, you basically just head off into the desert and use some BLM land?

This.

I would love to go more than I do now. Now its once or twice every three months. I used to take everything out. But now with an ammo shortage }(which luckily its letting up) its down to just shooting the trusty .22.

Where in AZ are you?? Have some mining claims north of Phoenix that you could use??

Usually four or five times a month. Mainly matches.

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:02:35 PM EDT

its been a year

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:04:28 PM EDT

I shoot .22's behind my house pretty much every other day.

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:05:56 PM EDT

[#30]

Every day.

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:06:14 PM EDT

[#31]

Not enough, but I do still take them out of the safe and hug them often.

When it cools off some, and ammo comes back down I'll get back to once a month or so.

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:06:20 PM EDT

[#32]

Twice a month or maybe three. I have a membership at a American Legion at a cost of $ 110 per year.

500 rds of .22 & 100/200 rds of 9mm.

Wife is getting annoyed of the expense so, I'm using alot more .22 to pratice.

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:07:03 PM EDT

[#33]

I think the last time was a couple of months ago

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:08:36 PM EDT

Maybe once or twice a year.

Honestly after the Army and then working in a gunshop/range for 7 years after. I just don't enjoy it that much. I guess I did enough shooting to the point where it got boring. When I do go I am letting others shoot my guns.

That's how it used to be, but those days are gone. All my old shooting areas are housing developments now. Now, to get out into shooting country is an all-day project. Hour and a half drive each way.

This past month, a couple of times a week.

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:17:23 PM EDT

About three times a year

Once being when I qualify at work which is kinda of Fun.

been about 8 months since i went shooting

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:19:54 PM EDT

Haven't fired a shot since november.

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:22:35 PM EDT

3x a week at the range and every day at the indoor pellet range at my house.

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:24:31 PM EDT

[#41]

At least once a week; .45ACP, .44Mag, an 22LR. I'm running low on primers (less then 1k left) so I will have to cut back on the .45 and .44, unless I find a few bricks at a reasonable price.

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:34:42 PM EDT

[#42]

usually every weekend. It various a little though.

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:36:45 PM EDT

i shoot as often as i can afford to.

here lately, that ain't very often.

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:44:09 PM EDT

[#44]

I've taking off work and going every other week. I'm thinking about retiring this August 13th and If I do, I'll go probably twice a week.

As much as is humanly possible

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:51:04 PM EDT

every 2-3 weeks, more if i am in a rimfire mood. a good smith & wesson 22LR revolver, a brick of federal and a stack of shoot-n-see targets will go a LONG way.

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:53:17 PM EDT

[#47]

Once a week, On Saturday or Sunday morning before all the newbs and familys come out.

Posted: 6/14/2009 3:54:34 PM EDT

[#48]

Once every 1.5 weeks on average.

Only been out three times this year: twice to the range and once in the desert, introducing a group of friends to the fun.

I have 3 unfired toys, 2 red dots to dial in, 3 scopes to dial in, and 2 Volquartsen set ups to try.

I have been kicking around buying a Kahr PM9 and a GSG but hell, at this point, why?

Ammo and mags have been arriving at my doorstep regularly though. Why continueI have no clue, aside from ammo purchases. I have to confess I am drawn to cheap AK mags and new LEO marked 30 rounders.

I am still on a quest to hit the 100k round mark for .22's, and you all know how much of a bitch that has been lately.

I am thinking of getting into using my shotguns and clays just because it seems like fun.

Working 90+ hours a week does not facilitate much play time.

Poll would be nice

once or twice a year, once or twice every 6 months, once or twice every few months, once or twice every month, once or twice every week, every day, LOL WUT?/Results
