We all know going to the range w/ friends means at least a good 1/2 days time spent shooting and chatting. but how long is your range trip when you go by yourself?

How long is your range trip (alone)

Depends on what I'm shooting. If it's pistols....about an hour. rifles? might a couple hours if I'm doing some zeroing. Ammo is to expensive to shoot any longer then that."Freedom begins with an act of defiance"

I'm there the whole day when it's an outdoor range. If it's indoor, maybe an hour and a half depending how much longer I can stand being bored.
I do two types of shooting at the range. Shootin' the **** and actual shooting.

I've found that after a while, I stopped " Shootin' the **** " at my range trips. I'm getting more boring as I age.Comment

Man, I apologize. I didn't read all of the title. I didn't see the alone part.
I normally don't shoot alone, if I do it's to ensure something I tweaked runs. I'm in and out within an hour at the indoor range. If it's a rifle I wait til' the next range session with my buddies.Comment

Hmm - maybe I'm anti-social, but I usually prefer shooting alone. It's pretty much for the same reason I prefer exercising alone. I can go at my own pace, leave at my leisure, try things out that maybe I wasn't originally planning on doing, and go as long and hard as I like or as short and easy as I like. I'm not beholden to someone else's schedule.
So, to answer the question, if I go to the pistol range, it's about an hour, give or take. If it's the rifle range, I try to make it a half-day affair, at least four or five hours. The pistol range is within comfortable driving distance of my house, so I always feel like I can go anytime I like, while the rifle range I go to is a good hour drive and so I feel like I need to make the most of it."Two dead?!? HOW?!?"
