How do you shoot?

[gunsablazin]

I shoot for fun/relaxation and to practice for IDPA matches, I try to shoot at least one, and sometimes two a month. I generally carry the pistol I'm competing with, either a Glock 35, or a 1911, so IDPA practice and carry gun practice is the same thing. I shoot a lot of .22LR each week as well, a Ruger MKII is great for strong hand weak hand, dot drills etc. hones the fundamentals without breaking the bank, I'm glad I had plenty of .22 ammo on hand before the current shortage hit!

I prefer to shoot rifle prone and pistol standing, but USMC taught me everything in between.

Mostly on the move in the woods, marked targets, speed shooting and fast reloading. Good cardio for my fat self too.

I used to shoot primarily at paper targets or whatever else we took out to shoot at (phonebooks, etc). I recently took a tactical pistol class and realized how just standing there and shooting at targets wouldn't necessarily provide the training I wanted for self defense. Since then, I've been adding more movement, etc into my shooting. We're lucky where we are, we don't have to go to a gun range to practice. We have access to a little piece of land that we're able to setup pretty much any scenario we want.

I don't shoot nearly as much as I did 20 years ago ... when I go to the range I take at least one rifle and pistol practice positions and bench but typically shoot only about 100 rounds ... 2-3 times a year

I shoot rifles most often off the hood of my samurai, every three weeks or so. Usually 40-60 center fire rounds per session, mostly 30-30, some .308 & .243 at a measured 100 yards.

We plink with rim fires, both pistols and rifles at cans stacked on wood piles from 30 yards or so, usually a few hundred rounds between my son and myself.

As for center fire pistols, that is almost exclusively 9mm, most from a sig 226, some from a 2022 and a few from a CZ 85. This practice is mostly turtles in the stock tanks, and cactus that I like to split lengthwise from maybe 10-15 yards. It's redneck practice, but I enjoy it. All in all, maybe 500 rounds per month all combined.
