Just wondering how much other people shoot in a year. With my competition
and shooting every month at a club shoot, and practice, I shoot around
1,000 shots a year. Don't know if this is a lot or not, but it's what I shoot.

[BHP FAN]

about 200 rounds,[combined rifle pistol and shotgun] about 24 times a year.

[Fingers McGee]

Each month from March to October I shoot 3 or 4 montly and an annual/state/regional SASS match. Also shoot 6-8 Steel Challenge matches during the year. With the matches and some practice, I go through 1200 - 1500 C&B rounds; same amount of BP 44-40, a couple hundred BP 45-70 and about 500 - 600 BP shotgun rounds. Steel Challenge is usually .22 Auto; but have been known to use a Glock on occasion. Go through a couple bricks of 22s a year as well as a few hundred rounds in other calibers either plinking, practicing, or in competition

[Dr.Mall Ninja]

I don't shoot enough.

[TomADC]

I shoot once a month but if my range officer request goes thru I'll do more.
But when I shoot I shoot more then just BP.

[Arkansas Paul]

I shoot less than 1,000 rounds a year, not by choice. Full time school, part time job, wife and six year old. Not as much time left over after all that. When I'm done with school, I expect that number to go up considerably.

[sundance44s]

Me and the wife shoot B/P every Sat. morning ...weather permiting .

[swiftak]

April to November, every day. After that its too cold. Also brass is hard to find in the snow and that drives me crazy. No indoor ranges around here.

[flintlock62]

It used to be at least 1000 rounds a year, now it's only about 300~400.

[flintlock62]

Me and the wife shoot B/P every Sat. morning ...weather permiting .
WOW, you have a wife that likes to shoot those stinky things?

[Onward Allusion]

......

[Voodoochile]

I shoot around once or twice a month, weather permitting & 90% of it is Black Powder.
I go through on average of about 90 rounds in one of my C&B Revolvers & about 30 - 40 rounds through one of my rifles per session, so about 1500 - 2500 in a year.

[AZ_Rebel]

Hmmmmmm....:rolleyes: about 300/400 a week.... 50 weeks @ work (2 weeks vacation)....
= About 15,000/20,000 give or take.:D

[Mike OTDP]

Let me work this out....

Outdoor shooting season starts in March. I shoot every weekend, about 60 rounds. Figure one N-SSA Skirmish/month, I'll go through 120 rounds at one of those...that works out to 300 rounds/month for 8 months, plus ~120 for November. An average of 60/month for Dec-Feb. A total of ~2,700 rounds.

Not counting air pistol. I'm averaging ~80 rounds/week with that (need to step that up, too). Roughly 3,500 pellets/year.

[Hawkeye748]

Just BP competitions I shoot roughly 3000-4000 rounds depending on how many I am able to attend. With practice, easily 4000. BP shooting alone, depending on events, low side 4000, high side 6000.

IF You throw in the smokeless, pressing 10,000 or better. Averaged 6 bricks of 22 caliber RF before the shortage. Cheaper and easier to clean up than BP and you don't get nasty looks in the closed in range. 2 cases, 9mm and 2 of 38 special a year. Might need to reload a few of the cases I am stockpiling. Getting into my stockpile now.

I also shoot a variety of other rifles. Burn through a lot of 7.62 X 39.

[CAMPBELL49T]

I belong to a Muzzle Club and we have two shoots a month. I shoot in shotgun, CVA SXS 12, pistol and rifle. I'm retired so in the good weather. I may shoot 3 or more times a week.
I also shoot modern guns. 40cal XD and 40cal High Point carbine. Combined about 800rd. Bush Master 223 about 500rd. 223s are to expensive to shoot.
Went through about 1,000 22s.
I know in BP I have been making balls every week. 440, 490, 457 and 454.
Can't say for sure.......but I'm not getting better. I have a lot of fun. Ex specially BP.:D
I forgot shotgun every Thursday. SXS 12 gauge coach and SXS 12 CVA BP shotgun. Any where from 25 to 50 shots.

[mykeal]

I have absolutely no idea. A lot more in the summer than the winter, but it can vary from less than 10 to more than 300 on any given day. I'm going to guess about 4,000 a year but that could be off by a factor of two either way.

[qajaq59]

I'm just getting back into BP so that's very low for now. With the 30 cal rifles I do 4 to 5K a year. But I'm retired and cast my own, so I shoot a lot more now then I did when I was working and buying bullets. That's one of the few good things about being over the hill. :D

[ultradoc]

not enough!!

[Afy]

I shot maybe four cylinders with the Walker and two with the Colt, the remmie saw no action. :(

[Kanten]

About 2000-2500 rounds with my 1860 and 1858.

[Texas Moon]

Front stuffers - maybe 400rds a year.

New fangled breechloaders - 2000+

BP revolvers - none. Just got a Walker. Had to sell the Ruger OA a while back. :(

[rommer25]

When I do go out, I usually shoot about a hundred rounds of various calibers. That's black powder. I do like to shoot my more modern guns and take my Krag out once or about four times a year. I also shoot trap about six times a year.

[cornman]

1/2 a round on average.

[Morgo]

Around 4-500 rounds centerfire pistol a week, plus 100 rounds of .22 pistol a week. (I shoot twice a week)
Around 300 rounds centrefire rifle a month plus 500rds of .22 through rifles a month.
Around 200 12ga a month.

I shoot a bit :)

[Nuke8401]

Pistol Competition- 5 matches a month x about 75 rounds=375x12=4500yr
Pistol practice- 2 time a month x 200 rounds=400x10months=4000yr
223/ar matches/3-gun- 1 a month x 30=30x10 months=300yr?, bought/shot 600 rds last year.
12ga/3-gun/practice- 1 a month x 25=25x10months=250yr

13050? not counting .22 pistol and rifle practice, maybe 1500yr?
All pistol ammo reloaded on a Lee Classic turret. All other ammo factory.

10,850 Wow, I should shoot much better than I do!

[frankiestoys]

Not as often as i would like ,once or twice a month and i fire about 200 rounds per trip.
