How many rounds during a range session?

[Yamifrk]

I too am spoiled with having a range in the back yard. Sometimes I come home and walk out back and just unload the mag in my gun into the steel. Most times I will set up the table and shoot 100-300 depending on how I’m feeling. The other day my wife and I were out there when some jerk started shooting a 460 S&W mag. 60 rounds of that and I was done.

Usual is quantity of 50, sometimes less. I try to enjoy it every 2-3 weeks.

150-200 rounds is typically what I shoot. 3 times a month. Half is usually. 22. After that concentration or skill starts to wain.

Anyone who thinks shooting isn't a perishable skill, hasn't ever built up enough skills to lose them. Shoot 50 to 100 rounds every week for a couple months working on a specific skill - 200 yard accuracy, clearing a table of bowling pins at 15 yards as fast as possible, shooting a handgun at 50 yards, etc and then take a few months off. If you don't notice a difference in your performance something is wrong.

This is a true statement. Train often and with purpose to both get better, and retain that progress. This is of course after a solid foundation of good professional instruction which teaches to train like you fight, not fight like you train.

Today 50 light 357 & 100 warm 38spl reloads which was a normal round count for a range trip. Two to three trips a month.

I backed way off on my shooting, I don't shoot less, I just don't go as often. I used to shoot once or sometimes twice a week.
I still shoot 100 9mms and x number of .357mags when I go.

I don't keep count, but I shoot 4 to 6 times a month and burn between 1500 and 2000 rounds a month of a mix of 5.56 and 9mm. On top of that, I burn about a brick or two of .22 a month clowning around.
