I try to get to the range 1X month with 2-4 different guns usually pistols including rimfire.

if I take any rifles and/or BP guns I usually take a lunch w/me and stay most of the day.

I usually shoot about 500 or so on average a month in 2 Vaquaro's (44 mag) a P22 & Glock 34. Some months a little more sometimes a little less.

Which month?!

Hold on, let me check with the wife and see how the schedule looks!

How much do I shoot per month? I live in MN so my answer veries greatly depending on what month you want to talk about. During the winter I may go 2 months with out shooting at all. During the warmer months I may shoot 200 or as many as 500 or more depending on the schedual. I started casting my own lead bullets so now reloading and casting is eating away at the time I would spend shooting. I am gone all week and really only have the weekend to do the family thing and jamb in as much gun stuff as I can.

My goal is to shoot 1000 rounds a month. So far this year I'm meeting my goal.

I go to the range once a week and fire between 250-300 rounds between my 45's and 9mm's and occasionally some .22's.
I reload and cast my own so ammo is not a problem.

I average around 800 rounds a month. Sometimes much more (like 1500) or sometimes much less (like 200).

It all depends on my schedule, and working as a railroad conductor, it can be pretty unpredictable.

I shoot 98 bullets each week in league
I like to shoot a few hundred 22lr before league to practice. sometimes more, sometimes less.
Then there's the occasional evening trip up to the mountains after work to shoot my rifles, but those dont count for this poll

I'd say a little over 1,000 rounds a month
