How many days per week do you shoot an airgun?

[pdxFrank]

at least a couple times a week. daily if my life would allow it.

about 20k pellets fired per year on average the past 3 years.

i only kill paper, so it allows me to recycle the lead.

yeah, i shoot into rubber-mulch-filled boxes. when it's beat up, i shake-n-dump* the box. pellets are mostly at the bottom of the 5-gal bucket i use to move the mulch to a new box. old lead gets shipped off to a buddy who makes new slugs from them.



re: , i've managed to go nearly 60 years and never put a round into a living being. i hope to keep it that-a-way.

critters around here are so used to me shooting, they don't even bother moving.




*proper mask, gloves, eye cover and use a well-ventilated work area!

Yeah I like it that your buddy uses the lead for slugs I'm also not a fan of killing just to kill Don't get me wrong if you hunt and eat what you kill I get it, even if its for pest control I understand but just for the "fun" of it I'm not a fan.

I shoot everyday and try to hunt at least 1 a week. The joys of being retired!

My business has me away from home weeks at a time. I always take one of my guns with me in case I get a chance to shoot. That does not happen often enough though.

On the flip side of that, when I am at home it is often for 1 to 3 weeks. When that happens I shoot every day and more often than not I shoot two or three times day, so I voted more than 5 times a week.

Depends on two things mostly, how much other stuff I have to do and if there is a match coming up soon. Got one Saturday so I’ll likely be out Tuesday or Wednesday and then prep my gear for travel early so I can just get in the car and go. I try to shoot at least once a week just for fun but no hunting or pesting.

I'm lucky enough to have 50FT indoor at my shop. Most shooting is for testing but its still fun.

 

[Arkie45]

More than 5, my range is right off of my back porch.

Same thing here, bench on my back deck...just limited to 75 yards.

 

[marshallhirt]

Once or twice a week. I use to shoot more (65yrd range in backyard) until my daughters horse came to live in our backyard. Now I have to wait for her to take him for a long walk or riding lesson off property

 

[Seth0764]

8 or 9 whenever possible....

 

[Daystate28]

Up until a few months ago I shot every day after work but alas age health and a impending divorce have kind of gotten in the way.

 

[Simplyhooked PCPs]

For now and as of lately, I shoot 5 to 7 days a week and I'm not going to run out of pellets anytime soon. I've regressed to shooting .177s for almost a year now and I've bought a few .177 pcps loving every minute of it. I still say "there's time like trigger time" and I'm still "Simplyhooked" on airguns with "airgunitis"! BTW, I had a problem with my computer some months ago along with a few other trials and tribulations but I'm still "Simplyhooked" on airguns.
