This past 4th of July week, I shot:

200 rnds of 9mm in CA IDPA match +
50 rnd of 9mm in some steel/post shoot competition +
100 rnd of .22LR to test out a new rifle +
50 rnds of 20ga in 2 rounds of trap =
400 rnds last week.

Not the most numerous, but a decent number of rounds for me.
 
some 22lr some 30-06 9mm 357mag 38spl 12ga .223rem about 300 rounds total. Taught some first time shooters too.

None, as I let the crowds have the range on Holidays and weekends.. lol

And we stay home, to care for our German Shepherd (his ears) along with I make it a point to clean off the roof, and all dry leaves, brush, etc., around the house.

Works well, we're still standing.. lol, and the GS still loves us.

I voted 51-150, but it was actually more. Range time, ~80 rounds 9m, 60 rnds .38 spec and +P, 15 rnds of .22 mag, and ~50 rnds .22 LR.
 
Took the CHL class Saturday, so chalk up 50 of .45 ACP.

Oh, and I noticed a few things:
1. I have only one speed - and it's pretty high. Aside from a pair of jams (did a lousy job on my mag cleaning apparently - last round hung up twice) I was among the first to finish firing, and typically had my mag out and pistol laid down before the rest of the group had finished (never fired to a timer before, and I wanted to make sure I made it).
2. I'm not too bad in accuracy at that speed (despite being a generally lousy shot). If I'd used my laser, probably would've shot perfect or close to it.
3. Fifty rounds of .45 still make my hand sore. Need to get that FP stop gadget that cuts down on recoil. Or some muscles.
4. Must buy earmuffs. Easier to work with than plugs.
5. Need to work on rapid-fire point-shooting at longer ranges.
 
I didn't vote because there wasn't a "I don't know" choice.:)

Shot 7 clips through the M1 Garand.

Ran some new 38 Special loads through a 2 inch Rossi. I loaded them too hot and they were leading the barrel excessively, so I switched to a different load.

Shot the Sphinx AT.380 while drifting the rear sight to the right. Then shot a few more magazines through it.

A couple evenings I got a little laser practice with the S&W J Frame.

A couple evenings I got a little laser practice with the Streamlight TLR-2 equipped Ruger 22/45.

And a little plinking with a Ruger Bearcat, shooting 22 Short.:)

I would have done a lot more shooting but everytime I headed out the door with a gun it started raining.
 
.40, .45, 7.62x39 and a bit of 9mm Makarov. Oh, and some blackpowder .50.

The sun was awful darn bright in Dad's back 40, so we didn't last more than an hour of so.
 
50 rounds of FMJ mag-tech and then 50 rounds of Winchester Ranger. All of it was .40 S&W 180 grain.
 
It was a short session but a good one. Beautiful summer afternoon, accurate shooting.

50 rounds of 9mm (Federal AE ball) through the CZ
30 rounds of .22 LR (CCI Mini-Mag) through the S&W revolver (tail end of a box)
25 rounds assorted .38 Special through the Taurus snub -- CCW practice
 
I spent my normal Saturday at the range and between 10:00AM-1:00PM I shot:

200-5.56 2 AR-15's
100-7.62 1 M1A
50-.30-06 1 Remington 700 CDL
 
I got less than a box down range. We had worked about 9 hours and I was dog tired. Just about shooting in the dark so it wasn't much fun. Still...I got to shoot a little...better than most times on the "farm".

Mark.
 
Went to the range on the morning of the Fourth. Shot two boxes of .357 handloads out of the M66, a box of .38 out of the M10, and I don' know how many .22s out of the SP101 and a couple of 10/22s. Hot day, but fun.
 
350 handloads of 45acp.
a bunch of 22
a LOT of 12 gauge, slugs and birdshot.

The videos are gonna be on youtube soon.
 
I got to shoot my friends .460 SW while my wife tried out some .38 +p wadcutter in her J-frame.
We also got to shoot my friends Springfield Armory XD .45 and I shot my Model 94 lever in .44 and my Super Redhawk .44.
Not to many rounds were shot because we only had an hour to shoot.
 
I went on a family vacation to my parents who have a good bit of land to shoot on.

530 rounds .22LR in rifle and pistol
128 rounds 9mm
45 rounds of .38 special

Shot two trees down with my 9mm. Had my targets leaning against them.

Also introduced my sister to her new Colt .22 target pistol.
 
At the range I shot about 130 rounds of all American .45 ACP(made in the Czech Republic) through an Italian clone of a Czech pistol, an EAA Witness-P.
