How many rounds do you average?

[Kevin Rohrer]

I shoot 200-rounds a week at my local range w/ one of my fifteen 1911s, in God's Caliber, of course. Don't know what I would do w/o a Dillon 750.

I had my left rotator cuff surgery in November and it is still not back to 75% it was at before I messed it up. I’m holding off on the right shoulder till fall so I can shoot some this year yet, but it’s not comfortable. Follow the doctors orders and you will be ok. I didn’t and I’m paying for it.

Ditto on following docs orders. I’ve had both of mine done about 30 yrs apart. Did therapy, and both are fully functional. I know others who cheated on therapy and are sorry for it. No pain...no gain is the appropriate bromide for rotator cuff recovery.

I have fired everywhere from 0-17,000 rounds at a range on a trip. 0 being I either forgot the ammo or I am teaching someone else. 17,000 was a very good day in the military with a few belt fed weapons, as well as individual weapon qualifications. I would peg my average at right around 300. That amount spreads to make sure my carry firearms, ARs, and shotguns pattern where I want them to. And maybe a hunting rifle that is ready for a season.

Same here. I usually bring g 4-5-7 guns fully intending to shoot them, and fully wanting to, but I noticed I generally stick to 2, maybe 3 guns and never get around to the others. Doesn't stop me from hauling hundreds of pounds worth of gear up the hill and setting it all up.

You'd think I'd have learned by bow....

I'm also learning this, three is about my limit to keep track of and actually get use out of. With drive and hike our spot is about 1.5 hours from heading out to actually being set up to shoot - so, the more times we head up there, the better we are getting about what to pack and what is just wasted time and nrg. At some point we may just leave some stuff up there, but we're not there yet.

I bet my average is very low and went down significantly once I had a range in my back yard. Sometimes we may shoot a few thousand at a machine gun shoot but all of the trips out back to chronograph or just to test function with a few rounds I just loaded, knocks that down, the same as stopping kills average speed.

When I drove an hour an a half to go shooting, I might spend an afternoon shooting hundreds of rounds from more than a half a dozen firearms. Now it’s not a big deal to go shoot a couple rounds, it’s further from the bench to the target than it is from the backdoor to the “range”.

I have a pretty nice range close by so I go most Saturday mornings before the crowd gets there. I don’t shoot terribly many rounds I don’t think. This past weekend was probably the most I’ve done in one trip is a long time. I shot several test loads in 223 so I went through about about 50 rounds. I’ve moved up to 4 shot groups since components are a little more available locally. There were a few 22 rounds fired but I’m mostly testing to see how much to file down my front sight to dial in the loads I’m using. All told it’s unusual for me to shoot more than 100 rounds between pistol and rifle combined. Sometimes they’re all pistol or all rifle but rarely more than 100. Particularly on pistol days it’s pretty 22 LR heavy.

Not enough.............

 

[Bfh_auto]

I'm the same, pistol range and target berms out to 760yds with steel in my back yard. My 100-300 yd bench also runs down my pond dam. So I do multiple "range trips" that might be a few as 10 rds to a couple hundred depending on what I'm working on. Often shooting sessions are just while taking a break from chores. I also shoot a couple IDPA matches a month and a 3 gun match.

Pond dam ranges must be more common than I thought...

View attachment 1009862

Pond dam ranges are common. Mine is 130 from the window, 100 from the fence, and 50 from the bank.
When my hay field is clear. I can go up to 520 yards.
This year has been very little shooting for me. I've run about 100 rounds through the 300 WM, 50 through my 357, 50 in 22, and 200 through my various 5.56s.

 

[DTL]

I go 1-2 days a week (Retired) 50 rounds CF, 9, .380, or .45(if I shoot this, it's 20 self defense loads) & 50-100 .22. If one day is the outdoor range 20-40 .223, at 100 yards, 100 .22's 50-75 yards.

Usually works, I had both shoulders done as well many years apart. Left is good to go still but right, dominant still isn't, I can only tolerate do much recoil from any one shot. My old goto guns have too much, so I shoot smaller calibers.

My range trips have dwindled in recent months, used to shoot used to shoot 100 243 win and 7mm08 per trip plus 200 223 twice a week then 0nce a week now once a month round count depends on whether I'm doing load development, I constantly develop new loads can't have too many good ones, for times when components are scarce.

Went to a friends Sunday, he sighted in his new a2 I never fired a shot.

 

[pharmer]

I'm also a casual shooter. 8 times a year, 50-100 centrfire, 150-200 rimfire, which is about half of pre pandemic levels. Rifles are sporadic. I have had my CWP since 1988 so I convince myself this is just enough to "not be armed and dangerous" in public. Been working, so far. Joe

 

[loneDS]

Pre-price gouging shortage: 50-100rds each time, about once per month, sometimes twice.

This year: three times, 50 rounds each.

No doubt! 200 rounds per week of ,38 Super would be expensive otherwise.

 

[GE-Mini-Gun]

Depends…skeet or 5-stand, easily 3-500 every weekend, pistol/rifle couple hundred, unless I have the 22 with me then close to 500 +/-.

 

[CapnMac]

Not enough probably nails it

Varied a lot over my shooting history.
Started out about 2-300 rounds every other w/e. Tapers back to every third w/e after that. Then, gets up way higher when I was competition shooting. For a while, it was whatever I could stand to tote to the berm on a Drill w/e. tapered down to 100-200 rounds a trip, and trip whenever it seemed apt.
Of late, it's been not enough.
When covid first hit, I had access to some land held by friends, so I could go whenever the cabin fever got to me. They sold the land and that ended that. So, it was back to the range an hour away that allowed rifle fmj (not common around DFW). That trip was long enough to want for serious planning ahead of time. Which took a lot of joy out of it.

 

[Bartojc]

About 150 rounds be session for pistol. If I am shooting rifle it really depends could be 15-150 rounds.
The past 5 years I averaged 3000 rounds of 9mm. This past year was barely 2000, and so far this year I'm a little over 1000 so the shortages, and quite honestly my time is getting in the way.

[RA40]

My usual beforeo covid was once per week and each session for center fire was 50 rounds. The .22 LR I'd do 100-200. I have been quite irregular in visits, not even once/month. Mainly dry fire drills now.

 

[peeplwtchr]

300-600 per week.
