When did you last go shooting?

For me this week I was pretty good. I test fired a Broomhandle Mauser I had rebuilt on Wednesday and I am going to shoot it againt his weekend along with some of my other curio guns.

But sometimes I go weeks w/o shooting, especially in the winter.

Put 300 rounds through my 22/45 yesterday with a buddy of mine.

Cleaned my Ruger Mk II last night and put 8 rounds out the back door just to make sure I had reassembled it right.

(plus, bonus points, I bought a rifle and 200 rounds of ammo on my lunch hour today).

Been about 5 months I think. I really dont go much and I only have an Mgery. I just come to find I like precision shooting better and will probably go again when I get off my but and change the upper and trigger.

Does an accidental discharge count?

Posted: 7/29/2005 10:43:28 AM EDT

More than a month but less than a quarter for me.

I need to get out more...

Sadly, its been a year since I've been shooting in the go out and have fun sense. Went to the range for a bit for LTC stuff, but it wasn't the same.

God I hate this state.

We went out on a can hunt yesterday

A buddy and his two sons and I went to the ranch to blow up some cans. The old mans son that
now live on the ranch came down to the hill while we were shooting and join in and shot a couple
cans until he got a double off the AR, said" thats 'nuff"

We ran through 50 or so cans and
a little paper.
This all got started a few weeks back when my buddy brought his sons along when we were going
to try out some new 308 loads. We were shooting paper and my buddy let his sons shoot his
DPMS 308. He then asked me if I had brought my 15 with me. Well long story short, they tried it and liked it. They went down to change targets and his older son took a coke can filled with water
down and set it by the target. One can was all it took, they cleaned my truck out of cans, plus what
all they had. It was quite a blast. On the way home my buddy said that his sons would not stop talking about my 15. They wanted one bad. Well, we found a real nice clean, hell of a deal at a local
gun shop on an Armalite. The rest is history. Looks like at least one can hunt a week. His younger son is quite a shot.
I usually shoot about once a week, usually hog hunt quite a bit. Also, been playing with some loads for the new 15 barrel/upper I put together.

I am impressed with how high the weekly rate is. I really feel bad for those who just don't have good ranges nearby. One more way the liberals beat us, shut down the places to shoot.

In Colorado, we have the National Forest, but because of new housing and slob shooters who leave trash, more of these ranges are getting shut down.

I plan on putting around 800 rounds downrage sunday.

Within a week, I have a IHMSA match Sunday, been getting ready for it.

Posted: 7/29/2005 7:47:41 PM EDT

[#23]

Was out yesterday. Got 22 rounds offhand practice at 200 and 22 of prone at 600 with the Model 70, and two sets of rapid fire (20 rounds) at 300 with the AR.

Back on Sunday for a HP match. Will probably use the Model 70.

I shoot weekly

Keeping a .22 in the truck, working on a ranch, and having a plethora of sage rats (chiselers, ground squirrels, etc,) around....I shoot a minimum of 30-50 rounds daily. Not anything special, but great for maintaining the fundamentals of marksmanship.

It's been a week and a half. I really need to pick up some real targets to more precisely zero in my sights/scope. I just shoot on my own propery and I don't do the range thing very often. I'm very glad that I don't live in a metro are.

8 days

Few days ago.

Every week. If I am teaching, then it's everyday.

But normally, it's every week. 250 through the pistol, 250 through the rifle, just to keep the skills sharp.

Thank God for reloading.

On "just for fun days" when I am hanging out with the shooting pals, I have been known to go through 2k rounds or so.

I'm another lucky SOB with a range in the backyard. I shoot pretty much daily....lots of fun, but restocking my ammo is running close to $500/month

Posted: 7/29/2005 8:00:43 PM EDT

[#31]

Three days , and I'm going tomorrow

Posted: 8/5/2005 10:15:07 AM EDT

[#32]

So far it doesn't look good this weekend. Hopefully I can slip away early on Sunday.

too damn long

Posted: 8/5/2005 10:33:56 AM EDT

[#34]

I try to go shooting at least once a month.

Posted: 8/5/2005 10:34:59 AM EDT

[#35]

Almost 2 weeks, but only because I was out of town/state all last week and have ben playing catch-up all this week - I rarely go a full week without any shooting.

I'll make up for it tomorrow!

usually atleast 2 times a month if not more. Althouhg winters sometimes slow me down , depending on conditions.

That's what I've been doing. Nice to have a friend with a "range." No fees. Paying to shoot is teh suxx0r.

I shot my AR and 1911 last weekend and I'm taking the CCW course this weekend so there will be more shooting! :)
