How Much Do You Shoot?

[b4uqzme]

I just did a quick and very rough calculation but I guesstimate that I've shot between 3500-4500 rounds of 12ga in the past 12 months. If I just stayed home, I could buy more guns. :o

Any volume shooters out there?

[Longitude Zero]

Thru multiple rifles, shotgun, handguns about 5K+

[JohnR]

Maybe 1800 rounds a year. Can't afford much more, in time or money.

^^^ Hey John, my Ar is in Jax at UPS, could you grab it and run it down to me? I can't wait til tomorrow, or the expected delivery day on Monday, it's killing me.

[JohnR]

Sure, no prob.

I average about 500 rounds a month during the warmer months. Much less in winter. I shoot at an outdoor range, way cheaper than the indoor range.

I haven't kept real close track, but my best guess based on how empty my ammo shelf is and how full my reloading shelf is would be around 3000 rounds this year. The majority was 40 S&W, with a lot of 22LR thrown in too, and about 200 rounds of 380, 200 44 Mag, 400 223, and about 50-60 rounds of 300 WSM. It was enough handgun rounds to destroy one of those self-healing bounce along the ground targets.

I don't go to the range regularly. When I go I generally spend about 3-4 hours shooting. Ideally I'd like to go 3-4 times as often for an hour each time, but that's just not in the cards for me at this point.

Only a couple hundred rounds per month, mostly .44 mag and .357 mag .... and the occasional 9mm, .45 acp and .38 spl. But, the only factory ammo I've bought in the last 5 years was one 100ct box of 9mm, and it's still sitting on top of the file cabinet where my son put it 3 years ago :)

Six or seven years ago it was at least a couple hundred rounds per week, not counting the .22's. Times change, don't they?

Don't keep track, but Itchy and I just got back from pokin' 100 each through our CW45s. Damn that gal can shoot!!:madgrin:

[yqtszhj]

2k to 3k per year of various ammo. 9mm, .45, .223/5.56, .308.

I dont reload yet but i keep all my brass in 5 gal buckets. Have about half a bucket of each. One day I'll start reloading and my ammo ordering days will be over.

[b4uqzme]

I got no clue how much non-shotgun ammo I've consumed this year but it's not that much: a couple of IDPA matches and a few range trips to keep the handgun skills alive... Maybe 2x per month on average.

I'm overdue for the rifle range. Bolt rifles are fun! :)

I probably shoot more in the winter. Not much else to do once the drive is shovelled. It's really cool shooting clays when there's snow on the ground. Key word there is "cool".

i SHOOT IN THE SUMMER AND NOW FALL AS MUCH AS i CAN AT THE RANGE. i LUV TO SHOOT SKEET ON WEEKENDS, not worth a crap b ut it is a fun sport. Luv to shoot my PMJ9 but I can burn thru 200 rounds retty fast and that starts to really aqdd up in dollars and cents. More dollars than cents.

[RonW]

I put in around 4-5k rounds a year, 9mm & .40s&w & .380

[SlowBurn]

About 2 boxes every other week. 380 and 9mm

[muggsy]

I go to the range about once every two weeks and fire 50 rounds through each of two guns. This is enough to keep my skills sharp. With anymore than 100 rounds my concentration starts to wane, fatigue sets in and I'm just burning powder and wasting lead. I usually shoot on Mondays when seniors pay half price for range time. Between range sessions I try to daily spend a few minutes dry firing my carry guns and practice my draw.

[berettabone]

About a 1000 rds. of .40, about 500 rds. of .45, a couple hundred rds.9mm, about 300 to 400 .38 special, and some .357. Between me and the missus.

[Barth]

I'm excessive/compulsive and go through periods of heavy and light shooting.
Generally a new gun means ~1,500 rounds of SD and FMJ in a very short period.
I've got about 15 handguns.

[Bob T]

I know I've reloaded just shy of 3K rounds of 9mm since January, plus I shot some factory stuff. Reloaded some .45ACP, .40, 38Special, .380...maybe a couple hundred of each.
Plus, we went through a bunch of .22LR...a couple of thousand rounds would be a fair guess.

1000 to 1500 a year :rolleyes: I buy more firearms and horde ammo than I've been shooting.
