How often do you go to the range?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How often do you go to the range?

Just wondering. I go about twice a month for pistol practice, I take a couple rifles with me about half the time. Usually shoot 3-400 pistol, around 200 rifle per session. There's no bench on the private land where I shoot, so I don't have an excuse for being a bad shot, other than genetics or substance abuse.

Poll coming.

I used to go a couple times a week. Then I met a girl. Now I go to the range about once a month.

Never. I have my own that goes out to about 400 yds that sits about 100 yds behind my home.

As far as using it, probably an average of 2-3 times a week. It can be more or less depending on the weather.

Not nearly enough.

I have my own. I average 3-4 times a week. I will do an all day shoot once a month. Those deplete my precious ammo though

The sad thing is, I haven't shot my 1911 in almost a year now

I'll say when the other half says I can.

It used to be a lot more than that.

I try to make at least one trip to the range whenever I'm home. Working offshore cuts into the shooting time, though. Sometimes I might even get to make 2 trips to the range between hitches.

Do what feels good, until your wife finds out, right?

+1, except that my range starts at my back door. I can hunt/shoot from my kitchen window if I want to.

Nothing has been shot at my range since..uh....last night.

every 3-4 weeks, range is about 40 miles from my house, turns into an all day event, yet I still go

Depending on ammo supplies, 2-3 times a week.

I usually get out about every other month. I need to go much more often. I feel so stress free for a few days after I go blast a few hundred rounds.

I'm going as soon as I put my pants on.

Skeet shooting every Wednesday, ARs and such on nearly every Saturday.

I used to go once or twice a week. Now only a few times a year.

I got really good a bullseye shooting, and want to do different stuff. The closest ranges have too many rules (no rapid fire, 5 shot max, etc). I want to shoot tin cans or blast away. It is an hours drive to the cool range, and I don't have that much free time anymore.
