I'm shooting more now than I ever did before and think I'm addicted. On the 2nd Saturday and 2nd Sunday of each month I shoot metallic silhouette. I shoot rifles in 30-30, 44 Mag and 22lr to add a bit of variety and a T/C Contender in 22lr also. On the 3d Sunday each month I shoot metallic silhouette at another range using a 30-30 and my 44 Mag.
I shoot in a bullseye league every week on Wednesday with a rimfire rifle and on Thursday it is 22lr pistol and center fire pistol.
My club also has a team competition I participate in where we shoot bullseye targets for a five week session. One week one handed pistol, two handed pistol, off hand rifle, benchrest riffle at 100 yds and then benchrest rifle at 50 yds. Due to the current cost of centerfire ammo it is all rimfire bullseye competitions. Pistol and rifle.
I also go to a nearby range and shoot my AR and my .223 bolt rifle a couple times a month. I'm contemplating getting back into rimfire benchrest competition at this range also.
Retirement is great! All those years working and raising a family just didn't allow for the time and money to do much shooting so I think I'm over indulging now.
Added: I need to clarify on the team shooting that we don't shoot every day for that week's target. The target is available at the range, you shoot it and then turn it in for scoring. You have one week to shoot each target at your convenience.
