How much do you shoot?

[BigT]

I’m just curious how much some of you might shoot. I’ve been shooting every day with a minimum of 50 pellets. I’m sure that’s low for some, but it seemed reasonable for a springer shooter. I tend to start on paper, then start plinking. I even watch the weather to see if there’s a break on rainy days, so I can get out to the range. Do any of you do similar things?

average i would say is 'one shot' every couple of weeks and thats usually all it takes lol ... but if i get a new gun or sight etc i'll go through a few clips .. occasionally i'll get set up and burn up half a tin .. but daily .. nah .. to much on the list lol ...

I'm out 2-4 times most weeks. I HUNT (pest), not shoot paper so if I go thru 50 pellets in a day that's really a lot. Got 12 ground squirrels yesterday & with sighting in I might have used 18 pellets. For me, WAAAAY more fun & cheaper than target shooting!

Hello It all depends on what I have going on that day and the weather, but I tend to shoot at least 2x a day with a minimum of 30 rds a secession. If I use my LCS19 and do some ar drills I burn up a lot of ammo and air . I also try to get out at least 2x a week to do some nv practice as well. Eric

When i get my new pcp I will finish 400 pellets in two to three days. Then I shot sometime maybe one or two magazines.

its funny to think about how much time is devoted to our sport ,, sometimes i feel i spend way to much time ,doing all the other aspects of our hobby ..researching looking up the latest and greatest ,,preparing,,.talking about it,tinkering and tuning, than actual trigger time ,,just my opinion thanks HYNZIE4S

I normally shoot three or four times a week and seldom shoot less than 300-400 rounds every time I go to the range. When the weather gets bad that can get cut down to couple times a week. But I have been stuck at home for going on five weeks now and I'm really getting grumpy. Grrr...

Used to shoot every day, but now that I'm in Chicago I don't hardly shoot at all. But I'm working on a home range so I can get back to daily

I average 75 a day which comes to 27000 a year

Now that I am retired, I shoot on nice days when wind is fairly calm, mabey 50-60 pellets per week. However, when I was a competitor, I was shooting about 150-200 pellets per week plus the weekend match. I needed to learn to shoot offhand so I spent sept thru may one year practising at least 50 shots per day, not all at once, took a break in between but did become a very good offhand shooter. Competed in a couple of offhand matches and did very well. It does take serious practice to be good in a competive situation, but now....just plain fun!!

I go days without shooting and then shoot a thousand rounds in a few days. I usually have a gun I'm working on in the shop and then I run strings and tinker until I have the best efficiency possible. Lately I've been shooting a bit everyday tho.

Aloha,

I try to shoot once a week, but with things opening up (post covid) my shop is getting busy. I had to lay off a couple of mechanics and now the work is picking up so a lot of my time is in the shop.

Aloha,

Keone

At least four times a week spring through fall. Number of shots vary but about 100-200 pellets per week.

I work mostly from home so..... a lot?



got new pellets 3 days ago so trying to find a rifle that would group with the daisy pellets and retuned my PP700 so a little over 1000 pellets last 3 days. Too hot these days so normally I would only shoot 20-30 pellets with this heat. When it was cooler I say 50-100 pellets?

Just came in. Generally every day ( 20-100+ rounds). My back porch is covered, always dry. I have a stable table setup pointed at 35 yd. range. Always ready. In winter I set up on front covered porch and setup targets on frozen lake, infinite. Crow

First time in 2 couple weeks yesterday. 117 shots on one fill with the FX400 wonder gun. Hope to go shoot at some dairies tomorrow or Saturday. When I lived in Peoria AZ I shot almost every day. Not as target rich here in WA state.

When I lived on the farm I would shoot for an hour, hour and a half daily. That was my down time, zone out and leave the world on time out.I've a compressor so air isn't a problem. Since I moved last November I've shot maybe one half of a tin, that includes .177, .22 and .25. I sure miss my shooting, hopefully this to shall pass.

Day and grave yard shift in the grove, I average about twenty pellets in a 24 hour dance session.

Hunting: No more than five shots and I'm bagged out.

Targets: Ten to twenty. I don't need to shoot much more than that because, for me, it becomes pointless.
