how much do you guys actually shoot????

[smboudreaux]

I find myself in an odd spot. i'm actually considering selling off a couple rifles. i seem to never find time to go shot. when i do have the time, location becomes the problem. my longer range spots seem to be subject to high water. i got my 300 win mag build back around easter still havent shot it. so how often do you cats actually get out and shot?

We shoot the local 3 gun and pistol matches, hell for no more than $15 for local matches, its cheaper than renting an indoor stall or range time and you get a lot more bang for your buck, our group tries to shoot 2 a month in the good seasons

There are also several ranges in different parts of the state that hosts long range matches 2 or 3 times a year, you will be more likely to shoot regulary if you hook up with some match guys

You get to meet great folks and there are always beginners, not only that, its a kick in the butt to shoot with a group of fellow shooters

I have shot up to 100,000 22 rounds in a year but not anymore. Now I try to keep a certain standard. As long as I can split a playing card edgewise, offhand at 20 yards with my Marlin 1897 Cowboy I think Im in the groove. I dont like to shoot a lot of highpower because it gives me the flinches so I fire a couple of zero shots with my 325 WSM and 30-06, 270, 45-70 and a little 44 carbine and thats about it. At Ft Polk range I have to help zero a lot of deer rifles as about 70% wind up having trouble with the process so I have to shoot a lot of other people's guns as well even though they get to do the final tuning.

I try to shoot at least 2 weekends a month. I shoot at Palo Alto exclusivly.

 

[onelochevy]

not nearly as much as I want to. I just never have time on the weekends. Still have an AR I built 4 months ago that hasn't had a round put through it yet.

 

[Bama2LA]

I got to the range twice a month and atleast shoot both of my 9mm. Been good about it for about 5 months now. Both my rifles I try and shoot once a month if I can, but I don't do long range right now until I can't find a field and some friends.

Approx 800-1000 rds a month. Pistol

 

[spanky]

Not nearly as much as some people but more than most.

 

[BayouSlide]

Normally once to twice a week plus one to two matches a month.

 

[Speedlace]

I don't even own guns; I just joined this site for shits and giggles.

 

[artabr]

When I was still healthy & Hub City was still in Lafayette, I was shooting at least 4 to 500 rounds of .45acp & 100 rounds of .308 Win. per week. Plus whatever other ammo / guns that I'd bring on top of that.

I try to get out to the range at least once a week, but dry fire 2-3 times more than I live fire.

 

[Guate_shooter]

Just depends but if you go to Monday night at Precision, Wednesday night at Baker and a weekend match that's 450+ rounds a week

 

[LACamper]

Once a month if I'm lucky. I haven't been lucky lately... I shot a lot more when the BZ was open and people were going every weekend....

 

[scooterj]

Close to 400 rnds just this past weekend. Shot in two different matches.

 

[Baldrik78]

I don't get to shoot any rifles more than once a month, but I hit the pistol range every Thursday after work. ~100-150 rounds of 9mm/.45 per trip.

 

[oleheat]

More during the summer than in winter (don't want to disturb the deer).

Not much weekdays- usually 2 weekends per month.

 

[ARboy]

I shoot high power 3 weekends per month, and during the week i shoot my Feinwerkbau in the house.

 

[smith625]

Usually four matches a month plus practice, sometimes more sometimes less. I have had a high of 3000 rds one month while learning a new pistol though.

 

[jmcrawf1]

I'm glad someone brought up dry fire. I try to dry fire practice everyday. At least 5 days a week. I've seen a greater improvement in my skills doing that than live fire.
