Range time...........

[WINSTON THE WOLF]

How often do you shoot your revolvers? I try to get out once a week. average time is about 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours. Depending on which one I am shooting.:D

I try to get out once every 1-2 months. Family comes first.

Here lately I'm a twice a month firearm shooter. Used to be once or twice a week. As the previous poster said, family comes first. That twice a month includes shotgun/rifle/pistol. I tend to shoot archery more often because I can do that in my backyard. Typically 2-3 evenings a week I'll shoot a few ends.

Most of my range time these days is spent shooting 1911 pistols. I go once or twice a week and shoot for a couple of hours each time. Don't have the energy or endurance to shoot accurately beyond that and I don't like to degrade shooting skills by continuing after I get tired.

Twice a week. No problems with the wife, she's a shooter too, we go together.

[darkgael]

Two to three times a week along with about 30 matches a year.

I try to shoot once a week, or atleast every other. Range time is usually a half to 1 hour, depending on how many guns I take, what I want to work on, etc.

When I go to the outdoor range to which I am a member, and don't have to prepay a timeslot, I may be there a few hours. I get to shoot rifles and shotguns there too!

What He said. ;)

sorry...:o 300 yard range in my back yard...

but I still probably only shoot on the average of once a week... actually probably more like twice a weekend every other weekend... ( I spend the rest of the time mowing & trimming trees )

range time is usually no less than 3-4 hours, & generally includes both handgun ( mostly revolvers ), & rifle... & lately shotgun ( slugs )

handgun back stop & spinners just to the right here...

I am lucky to make it to the range once of twice a year. Have not even shot any this year yet.

[WINSTON THE WOLF]

sorry... 300 yard range in my back yard...

Im jealous........... But that would be very expensive. Even with reloading:eek:

[Harry Callahan]

VERY nice set up, Magnum Wheel Man!

[Magnum Wheel Man]

thanks guys... lots of advantages to having your own range... but with the maintenance... it can & does limit my fun / shooting time...

Ditto!

I "get stuck in traffic" once or twice a week. I never spend alot of time at the range though, get in, get it done and get out.

Probably an 1-1 1/2hr each time. I dont do a lot of target type shooting most of it is just trying to keep the muscle memory in tune. the old guys drinking coffee at the range always whisper as I come and go because I dont shoot bullseye and my groups are damn near 4" wide at 50'!

I've been advised, "You know, if you slow down and aim a little bit, you'd get tighter groups".

Yeah, probably. In my opinion; double and triple taps in a 4" group are better than aimed shots in a 2" group.

YMMV

[jmorrell]

I usually get to the range about once every two weeks during warm weather, less when it gets colder. I normally shoot between 50 and 100 rounds, just enough to keep proficient in whatever gun I take with me. The cost of ammo keeps me from shooting more.

[wnycollector]

For me it depends upon the season. During the summer, twice/week ~2-3hrs/visit. The rest of the year, weekly ~1.5 hrs/visit.

[Harry Callahan]

Magnum Wheel Man, I forgot to ask is that your neighbor's house at the end of the range acting as a backstop?;)

[Magnum Wheel Man]

what ??? that old guy is always cranking about me shooting on my own property... I don't know why he won't let well enough alone ??? LOL...



... actually its a 20ft wide 8 ft high & 5ft thick backstop built out of telephone poles on the corners & center, & double layer thick treated 2 X 8's offset so the seams dont leak dirt, & filled with dirt & assorted "around the farm junk"

I'm still building on it... as I want it about 2ft higher when it's done... & when completed it'll double as a deer stand during deer hunting season ( the drainage ditch is a couple hundred yards behind the backstop...

I don't have a good pic of it, as it's a full 300 yards up a slight hill from my bench... but this is a zoomed pic... a bit grainy... but you get the eye deer...

[B.N.Real]

Four hours at my closest range costs-

4 X $16 =$64.

That's before any targets or bullets.

There is a free range availible about fourty miles away if you want to shoot the SAME TARGET for twenty minutes.:rolleyes:

"How's your group?"

"Look at the five inch diameter hole in the paper."

LOL.

I have to find someplace close where a landowner will take ten bucks to let me shoot on a back corner of their multi acre wooded property.
