So you have guns - do you shoot them?

[Divernhunter]

I hunt.
I go to the range 3-4+ times per month.
I shoot rifle and pistol---and X-bow. Not any shotgun in a long time.
Shoot anywhere from 300-100+ rounds per month.
Doing load work over the chrono takes up most range time for me.

i try my best to shoot at least twice a month, couple hundred rounds per visit. USI in concord being closed has put a damper on that over last year

[wbunning]

I don't hunt sny more. Used to. Now mostly paper punchin' a couple times a week, most common handgun calibers and .223. Arthritis starts bugging after 150 rnds, so that's about all I do in one trip. 2-300 per week. I hand load/reload most of my stuff. I've been having fun lately working up loads for some archaic cartridges: .44 Russian, .38 Short and Long Colt, and .45 Schofield.

I feel like we're being trolled...

Does OP even operate bro?

I'd like to hut, but I'm not the outdoorsman type. I prefer happy hour and omlets made to order at embassy suites.

As for range time, twice a month and about 600 rounds not including 22 lr. Cycle through different 9s, 40s, 223, AR762, and I just started shooting 300 yards with a 308. It's an addicting hobby.

No hunting here (nothing against it).
Go to range or BLM in spurts, as the mood and time dictate.
I'm on the road 5-6 days every week so home time is special.
BLM time is usually with a small group with a new shooter or two so my time is spent keeping an eye on everyone.
Local indoor range is just for trigger practice. Can't draw from holster. But it's only 3 minutes away. BLM is an hour away.

Maybe once a year. I find shooting at paper targets boring.

[ProtectThe2nd]

Every weekend

[UP2MTNS]

I don't shoot as much as I'd like. I also have to schedule it or it doesn't happen. Couple times a year and 200 rounds or so depending on what I'm shooting.

Shooting paper also gets boring (I don't hunt), so I signed up for some tactical classes next year. I'd also like to at least try one 3-gun competition sometime too, I have family in Reno, but again, that'll take some planning around a whole weekend.

Does HALO count? If so I shoot in my mom's basement all the time...

[BigPimping]

No place left to shoot.....

Every New Years.

How often do you shoot? Depends how much free time I ave and the weather. I try to shoot at least twice per month.

Do you hunt? I used to hunt Dove, Pheasant, and Deer.

What sort of shooting do you do, and with which guns? I prefer rifles. I mostly shoot at the range and I prefer free hand, but most ranges around here now want us to shoot seated. I have ARs, SCAR 16/17s, AKs/Mini-14s/various .22s. But I also shoot .45, 9mm, 380acp, and .22 pistol. 9mm is my self defense pistol and my favorite is a Walther PPQ.


How many rounds do you burn in a typical month? Varies, I shoot more 5.56 than anything, then 9mm, 7.62x39 and .308. I shoot .22 on steel with the kids, when we go up North.

I probably shoot 500 to 1000 rounds per month.

That reminds me. I sometimes shoot air guns in my garage. It's better than no shooting at all. I use a box of newspaper to strap the .17 cal pellets.

For me, "shooting" arms is not a hobby, but just a way of life. I've never been fond of static target shooting for the sake of shooting. Growing up in coastal and eastern Texas it was just something the family did.

I don't shoot as much as I need to maintain my past skill levels these days but I can still scare the heck out of those pesky paper targets.

Sort of "self-challenging", especially as my eyes and I get older.

It's a perishable skill, go as often as you can.
