Just wondering...

It has been at least 6 months since I have been shooting....

I hate to admit it, but I have a new upper from JTAC and a G21 I got in Febuary I still have not shot yet.....

Once a week now that its getting warmer.

A couple times a month. An all day event 6 times a year. Used to be more, but with increased pay comes increased responsibilty.

Posted: 4/9/2006 3:35:21 PM EDT

[#3]

Wake up, step outside and shoot...So everyday.

Posted: 4/9/2006 3:35:47 PM EDT

[#4]

I used to go once a week. Now its more like twice a year

Posted: 4/9/2006 3:36:29 PM EDT

[#5]

Couple of times a month. When I have a little more time, I wind up two or three times a week out there.

Posted: 4/9/2006 3:38:31 PM EDT

[#6]

Have not been for a month, i like to go every two weeks or so.

Posted: 4/9/2006 3:42:51 PM EDT

[#7]

As much as I can, which is to say, not as often as I'd like.

Posted: 4/9/2006 3:42:57 PM EDT

[#8]

Only about 3 times yearly.

But I shoot 3-4 times weekly.

My place is essentially surrounded by forest and I hike in it most days. I shoot different things every time. ARs, AKs, Glock. It does keep me in practice.

Winter is when I get most of my handgun practice. I shoot at twigs sticking out of the snow in the sides of hills. Good practice and I can see exactly where I am hitting. The best part is an unlimited supply of targets.

Once the bear come out of hibernation (about now) I start carrying bigger weaponry. And yeah, sometimes I may need it. I really have to remember to make a littel noise now and then or I slip into hunting/Marine mode and end up walking right up on things. Some big things with big teeth.

Sometimes I go to one of the local depressions and put targets up on stumps. Work my way thru the trees, shooting as I go. Or do rapid fire drills in the quarry nearby. Clay pigeons scattered up the side. Better with someone for a little competition.

About every other month, but I do shoot at home more often. I just don't like shooting by myself, thats why I go to the range.

try to go once a week if not the trigger finger gets stupid

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:13:08 PM EDT

[#15]

About once bi-weekly. Shot in a J.C. Garand shoot today out in Youngstown OH. Had a great time and a great slow prone stage. I love my M1 almost as much as my EBR. Okay maybe a little more even but don't tell my AR.

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:13:25 PM EDT

[#16]

Three or more times a month.

Three or more times a month.

The indoor range about twice a week. I don't get out to the long distance range often enough.

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:17:21 PM EDT

[#19]

luckly i have been able to go shooting everyday that i want to. so atleast 5 times a week for a hour atleast.

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:17:56 PM EDT

[#20]

once every other week when i'm at home.

not at all when i'm at school

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:20:17 PM EDT

[#21]

Try for at least once a week. Sometimes that won't work though. I just got back from a trip and it had been 3 weeks since I last shot.

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:21:17 PM EDT

[#22]

Just got back actually.

Every week I go: rifle and pistol.

5.5 years since I've been shooting. I haven't had any free time while near the closest indoor range (~100 miles away) since then. I've still got five more 30 minute sessions there prepaid so I've really been trying to arrange free time there for a long time. The two rifle ranges within ~45 miles require a truck to get to and I don't own one so that's a no go. I just wish I had enough land to shoot on. I'd love to shoot several times a week.z

used to be twice a week when I lived in KS - now its once a month if I'm lucky...

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:33:01 PM EDT

[#25]

Before my injuries(back, legs, right arm). I would go twice monthly. I have not been to the range in seven months.

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:33:26 PM EDT

[#26]

4 or 5 times a month, more if I get something new during the month.

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:33:42 PM EDT

[#27]

every other week or so

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:35:31 PM EDT

[#28]

Lately I have I have trap shooting every Sunday, but it has been 3 months since I took out the rifles and pistols.

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:35:53 PM EDT

[#29]

Every day on the way to and from work.

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:37:02 PM EDT

[#30]

Once a week...

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:39:00 PM EDT

[#31]

I try and shoot twice a week. Once a week minimum.

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:44:31 PM EDT

[#32]

Less than some, more than most.

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:46:51 PM EDT

[#33]

Likely at least twice a week.. (Sunday and Tuesdays). With the occaisional extra outing or two per week once in a while..
I'm looking fwd. to Sept. as my little one will start grade one and therefore be at skool all day instead of just 12:30-1500hrs in Sr. KinderG.
I can see spending lots more time shooting as I'm off werk lots during the week and I'll be kid free for most of the day!!!

Posted: 4/9/2006 5:00:56 PM EDT

[#34]

not often enough....one drawback to my schedule.

Weekends are taken up with work/sleep, and the range I like to go to is closed on my days off that I would like to go. Other ranges I'm interested in are not close, and local indoors are too $$$.

About once a week...usually on a sat or sun morning...occasionally on a friday night after work.

Posted: 4/9/2006 5:10:16 PM EDT

[#36]

about twice ..... three times a week if im lucky

Posted: 4/9/2006 5:10:33 PM EDT

[#37]

Twice a month. Once a month Jan-Mar, more due to how soon sunset is, than the cold.

Posted: 4/9/2006 5:23:59 PM EDT

I'm trying to go atleast once or twice a month.

If I went shooting as often as I got female action.........let's see, that was uhhhhh 1999? Or was it 2000? (and I'm not bad looking).

I shoot GUNS a lot more often than that. In fact, I should just forget about women and marry one of my guns...perhaps my HK or my new SIG. Haha.

What he said

Posted: 4/9/2006 5:44:41 PM EDT

[#41]

Every week. This weekend I went both days

. Unfortunately... that means that I used up 600 rounds. At least it was only my "range ammo" (cheap wolf). My SHTF stuff is different from the range stuff.

Posted: 4/9/2006 5:46:35 PM EDT

[#42]

For work 4 times a year.
For fun about 4 times a year.
No range just shooting (crows, squirrels or sighting in rifles) about 4 times a year.
Hunting dove 4 to 10 times a year.
Quail, chukker or pheasant 4-15 times a year.
Deer or elk 7 to 15 times a year.
Pig 0 to 5 times a year.

Posted: 4/9/2006 6:01:51 PM EDT

[#43]

I shoot about 3-4 times a month.

Almost every weekend, sometimes both Saturday and Sunday, all day. Though I missed the last two, but my spring break is next week so I'll make up for it then!

Posted: 4/9/2006 6:33:55 PM EDT

[#45]

In the winter, I usually go months between visits. Lately I bought a membership at an indoor range and now I am going once a week.

Now that spring is here, I have been going three times a week. I much prefer outdoor shooting.

Posted: 4/9/2006 6:36:22 PM EDT

[#46]

Twice a month at least.

Posted: 4/9/2006 6:39:09 PM EDT

[#47]

every other weekend or so. i drive like 35ish miles to my range each way too. but its worth it. i go more in the winter then in the summer. i like cold weather. lowcountry summers suck

Posted: 4/9/2006 6:46:26 PM EDT

[#48]

I try to make it to the range 2 or 3 times a week. Even if it's only for an hour before I have to go to work it's well worht it.

Posted: 4/9/2006 6:48:34 PM EDT

[#49]

I used to go about once every two months. When I was on my recent "vacation" I went two to three times a week. Now that I'm back to work I haven't been in about a month.

Posted: 4/9/2006 6:51:06 PM EDT

[#50]

3-4 times a week, usually shoot 210 rounds +
