inspired by a few other threads, i'm wondering, how often do you typically go shooting ?

[Malice]

Every other weekend, religiously, sometimes more.

[cool45auto]

Every other Wednesday.

[Bob F.]

Sometimes not for a month or two (not counting a few rounds in the backyard-rural area) in bad weather. Couple times a month in better weather, not nearly enough.

NEVER enough!!!!

Time, weather and finance all have their effect. Currently in winter - try to manage a bowling pin shoot weekly - in summer months try to sneak off to range any old time - I can swing it!!

[Shorts]

I get the itch to go at least once a week, so I just put together my ammo box and gear and I'm out the door, weather and ammo permitting ;) Don't have to worry about range fees since we belong to a sportsmans club now....all you need is the code. Nice thing to is it is just a few minutes cruise down the street.

I sure would love to just grab my pistol and walk out into the backyard to a range setup area....but that would require land :rolleyes:

[WhoKnowsWho]

Trying to go every other weekend now that my wife and I have corresponding Sundays off. Though, the ammo supply is getting low, gotta roll out the reloading bench soon. It was packed away for Christmas get togethers.

[Puppy]

once or twice a week, weather permiting.

[esheato]

I try to go at least every other day. Well, I have a rule that I have to handle a gun every single day....if it's only dry fire or just some simple sight pictures that is acceptable.

Luckily, I work on a military installation that still has a couple skeet fields along with a 100 yard pistol range. Sometimes it's skeet, sometimes it's pistol and on my days off it's both. I almost always have the place to myself also. Makes it very easy to shoot all the time.

[rick_reno]

Twice a week.

[PMDW]

Up from twice a year to every monday.

Working at a gun store rocks. :)

[Dmack_901]

about 8 times a year for me, but that's only because the law won't allow me to go on my own. (age < 18)



edit: Not enough is assumed, right?

[psyopspec]

During winter, maybe twice/month, with a lot of dry drills such as presentation & reloading. Warmer months are typically once or twice each week.

[landon74]

There wasn't a choice for 'not often enough'.....

[chickenfried]

I think about going about 3 times a week . But I only make it out about 3 times a month :o.

[P5 Guy]

I try to go to the range every other week, but I wish I could shoot more often.

[357Texas]

Only about 1 or 2 times a week on thr and or fri. rain don't matter I can shoot at an indoor or outdoors range.

[chetrogers]

Maybe 8 times in a year :( ...I am joinging a gun club that is about 5 miles from me next month.Im planing on going 2 times a week min.

Hell I own 2 guns that i have never even shot. m44 and a moss 500

[Duke of Lawnchair]

Once a week for me.

If not once a week, every other week.

[Edmond]

I haven't shot a gun in 6 months! I just haven't had the right combination of time, desire and money.

But once I start reloading, the only thing I will have to worry about is time because the lack of money sapped my desire.

[M2 Carbine]

Got a couple backyard ranges and I'm retired.
Most days I'll at least pick up a pistol and run a few magazines through it.
I just bought a 45acp Bond Derringer that I want to get used to so I loaded about 800 rounds for it and have shot it 10 of the last 12 days.

[Darkmind]

I live right down the road from the place I shoot at so I go about two too three times a week.

[unixguy]

I'm looking forward to it being light later in the afternoon now-- between long hours during the week and then needing to get other stuff done on the weekends, shooting has not been getting done. I think I've actually been shooting at least 9 times in the last year at my range, and probably twice at some others. The problem is that the distribution of those shooting sessions is heavily loaded at the first half of the last 12 months.

(Yeah, I realize I'm being a baby with all my excuses.) :/

[DelayedReaction]

Once a week. If my budget could permit it, I would easily go twice a week or more.

[Sparks]

I try to get range time every week, but it doesn't always work out. I dry-fire every day though. It was a lot better a year or two ago - training every day on the range for a year or so, set lots of personal bests and so forth.

[jdkelly]

Two to four times a week, closer to 2 the last couple of weeks, 200 to 500 rounds a week.


Respectfully,

jdkelly

[jobu07]

Two or three times a day! :D It sucks having the range in your backyard sometimes though. We just had a rather large snowstorm... So I had to put on the boots and grab the shovel and then go find my little rams and piggies under the 20 inches of snow... THEN, I had to shovel a clearing for the silohettes to stand in. I can't wait for spring. SNOW! :cuss:

[JuniorG]

I've gone from twice a week to twice a month and due to an injury I missed last month and most of this one :banghead:

[TonyB]

IDPA every week,and if I have the time and weather is good I try to make it to the range 2 times a month.Or I shoot in the yard(when there's not a foot of snow back there... :(

[bpisler]

My wife and i go every other sunday,i try to make it during the week after work.

[R.H. Lee]

On average about once a week. Sometimes I miss a week or two, then go twice on the weekend. I have to balance my consumption of ammo against my desire to shoot. Since I don't currently reload, my empty brass supply is growing. :uhoh:

[FPrice]

If I was lucky, I got out to the range about once a month while I was working. Now that I have retired, the weather has been too nasty to get out much. But, once it starts getting better...

[Monkeyleg]

Prior to last year's concealed carry battle and then my subsequent new project, I was going at least once a week. Around the various holidays I'd get out as often as five times a week.

Now it's every month or two. And it shows. :(

[USP45usp]

I not really going to count the stepping out the backdoor because I don't want to piss off the neighbors (worse then I already have) so I only fire a mag or two. I don't have the backstop built for the rifles yet so I haven't fired them in over a year.

So, with that said, a couple of times a year :(. The indoor range is too expensive to go more then that and the nearest rifle range is over 25 miles away :( and is VERY expensive to join and it closes whenever the owner feels that he wants to close it (with no notice to members, you just drive up and see the sign).

I am trying to find a place in the woods or such that is free, I won't get harressed by the LEO's, and it's not endangering anyone/thing.

[ZekeLuvs1911]

I go once a weekend religously unless O.T. or other events get in the way. Been doing this for about 2 years now.

[FunGunner]

Three pistol matches a month, and about to roll in two monthly high power matches. So I might have to do some swapping. Like two pistol and one high power, or two high power and one pistol. I'll just have to see how deep I will get into high power. Or I can do the Iron Man thing, three IDPA, two High power, and Three Gun Match every month. I'm lucky I guess, matches comming out my ears over here.

[Gun Mann]

I shoot as often as I can (depending on the weather).

Built a shooting range on my own property, so all I gotta do is walk out my French Doors onto my deck, and shoot 100 yards down-range into my "fire pit".

The only problem is that I go through Telephone Poles like crazy....they don't last very long against the AKs and FALs.....

[Farnham]

Unfortunately, the only shooting I can do on my 5 acres (who ever heard of an HOA in the boonies of South Texas??? :cuss: ) is with my pellet gun, but I put 40 rounds (at least) into my 50 yard silhouettes every evening after work (great therapy, as well as good practice). I also shoot my M1A every Sunday at the local range, and my Glock 17 goes along every other Sunday. The .22's, the Mini-14, the shotguns, and the newly acquired .308 Savage 10FP get thrown into the rotation now and then as well.

[BamBam-31]

Me and Beetle Bailey try to get out to the range every weekend. An occasional weekend goes by without a trip to the range, but they're uncommon.

[Langenator]

Right now, given the demands of my job and family...about once a quarter.

That should be changing later this year. Army will be sending me to a new job, hopefully one where I get both days of the weekend off.

[Parallax]

The local range that was literally 10 minutes away from my house burned down (just my luck), the next closest one is an hour drive away, so I can't go as much as I'd like. Wish I could go every day though. :D

[birddog]

2 or 3 times a month, weekly as hunting season approaches.

[Pappy John]

Almost daily when the weather's right, but lately its been few and far between. When it's so cold that your fingers hurt when loading a magazine and you have to dig through the snow for your brass I get kinda' discouraged. My club has an indoor range, but the ventilation sucks, so I rarely use it.

No...the ventilation doesn't suck....that's the problem! :mad:

It's been almost two weeks now though. I might be forced to breath some smoke soon. :uhoh:

[Zach S]

At least once every weekend, at least 100 rounds through my primary carry gun. I do, on occasion, miss a weekend, however I have had plenty of weeks/weekends where I went shooting twice or more times.

I missed last weekend. But I went last night. I'm going back tonight. Probably tomorrow as well, and possibly Sunday.

[71Commander]

At lease once a week. I'm on a league. Shoot most Saturday mornings as well.
