How often do you shoot?

[Bfish]

How often do you shoot? On another thread guys were talking about how how many people on INGO shoot regularly. But regularly will be defined differently by different people. So instead answer with how often you shoot and then one can decide how often regular is for themselves.

Thought it would be nice to see. I am blessed with a range in my backyard, others have to go to a range etc. So for obvious reasons of location, ammo/money, time, weather etc plays into this... What limits or helps you? Some people may shoot twice a month but in that time shoot twice the rounds of a guy who shoots each week. I get that, so give us an average, it's just for fun...

Hope people like this!

4-5 days a week generally, depending on how much I am working. My new job has me home less than I used to be, I used to shoot daily.
Depending on what I am shooting it may be as few as 5-10 rounds or as many as 50.

If a person shoots in a league, that is every week. Add in a couple practice sessions a month and a couple of matches on the weekend, that is twice a week. Shoot a rifle league and a trap league, double the figures. Add some pistol matches and you keep pretty busy. Start competing on a Regional or National level, you will need to hire a divorce attorney.

1/ month usually. On rare occasions 2/month. I'm not counting the times I've brought a friend to the range to familiarize them with how to shoot safely.

Usually once a week, depending on ammo. In the summer I'll usually go more, especially on weeks I have an IDPA shoot.

 

[llh1956]

I try to shoot once a week!

 

[lowriderjim]

I shoot to verify my defense weapons and ammo. I need to shoot more than several time per year but I don't seem to get at it. Maybe if I had a home range.

Went for a couple years without missing weekly league but schedule last year or so has curtailed that somewhat. Group of "old farts" shoot on Tuesdays at our club and I do that as schedule allows. Shoot a number of USPSA & Steel Challenge matches in the warm months. Shoot informal ( practice, etc) from a couple to several times a month. So average probably couple times a week + or -. Hoping to increase that in next year.

During the good months of the year (April-October) I shoot at least 3-4 times a month that being 100rds or so each session. Not so much during the winter. Have no indoor range close to me and I'm a sissy and don't like cold weather

 

[Tanfodude]

This is actually my problem, I don't shoot enough.

yup, esp if you have little one... that's why I shoot a lot less than I used to. Soon the kids will be old enough to take with me and then I'll be a hero to the wife for getting myself and the kids out of the house and out of her hair for a while... at least, that's my plan! haha

now, instead of heading to the range, I'm off to coach a kindergarten basketball team.....

In general I try to get to a range at least once a month. Sometimes it's more, sometimes less, but it averages out to be about monthly.

Once I start reloading I hope to increase the frequency. I'm trying to figure out a way to get started with very limited space.

 

[wsenefeld]

I reload so it's more than it used to be. Unfortunately my shooting is primarily determined by the weaweather as I don't have an indoor range close by. During those good months I try to get out every other week.

 

[Vigilant]

I voted once a week, but that's not enough! I take a class 2-3 times a year, and have access to a private range at least once a week! Ammo availability, and funds for said ammo, keep me from shooting as much as I want!

 

[Leadeye]

Something once a day.

 

[dieselrealtor]

Sometimes as frequent as 5 days a week. Probably over a year averages 2-3 days a week.
MSCC is only a few minutes from the office, makes for easy lunch trips.

When I was single and competitive, I had a pellet trap screwed to the living room wall and an angled eyepiece spotting scope screwed to the wall in the hallway with a shelf wide enough for pellet tins under the scope. I shot 10 meter air rifle during rifle season and 10 meter air pistol in the winter, pretty much every day. Strangely, my offhand aim and trigger control skills improved greatly at that time.

 

[trailrider]

Dang I shoiuld shoot more. I've got steel pistol targets, a 100 yd range, and a 700 yd range at my house and only shoot 3 times a year. Just checking rifle zero and blowing off pistol ammo if a buddy wants to shoot. Used to shoot 1-2 times a week til ammo craze '14. I reload but pretty much just rifle/hunting ammo. Every once in a while i make sure I can hit what I'm aiming at...I should shoot more

 

[BogWalker]

I've got a nice backyard range (varies from 100 to 1500 yards depending on if the crops are harvested or not), and I only shoot maybe 4-5 times per year. I'm more of a collector than a shooter, and I really want to build a stash of at least 1k rounds per caliber before I start shooting much. Don't want to get caught in the next ammo panic.
