My backyard is my range, so I shoot mostly every Saturday and Sunday and I usually shoot all my PCPs a minimum of one mag. I was on a .177 cal thing for a bit where I shot that caliber the most, but I usually shoot all calibers.

How much do you shoot?
- Thread starter BigT
- Start date
After my recent 10-day hunting trip out of state, I am trying to force myself to take a break from air gunning to get some work done around the house. I currently do have three of my airguns back at the backdoor. They were in the safe place when starting this new venture. I did get the deck washed and sanded mostly, but more to go. I have not set my shooting table up on the deck which is helping my offhand shooting out during the rains/breaks. How much do I shoot...Not much, just a few, LOL. I blame it on the castings I do plus a couple of coons and a ground hog that tempted me, but have been able to slow my roll a bit, which is a start.

I go to the range 2+ times a week. Usually go through 1.5-2 tins of .30 cal each time. Doesn't include my backyard plinking. I need to slow down bc pellets are scarce and I'm down to less than 20 tins of .30 cal.
May have to burn up some .22 and .25. Should be getting at least another 10 tins of .30 in the next few days!

Every day in my basement range.
Training may include shooting a standard ISSF match- 60 shots plus sighters. Shooting a double match- 120 shots plus sighters (for endurance), or shooting a training cycle- something as simple as trying to put 40 shots into the 8 ring, only- I call it crazy 8’s.
This week, though, I am dealing with tennis elbow and wearing a brace while shooting and sticking with 40 shot cycles.

This time of year I’ll target shoot/plink 3-4 times a week and usually go through a tin at each sitting so ~1,000 pellets a week.

About a half a tin per week for me. I have 75 yards to work with in the back yard and one day I'm going to get that 75 yd 1 hole 10 shot group with the Impact. Been close a few times but tell me why is there always that 1 SOB pellet with a mind of its own?

Shooting about 100 per week on my back yard range. Some paper targets and plinking at 25 yards.

Before Covid, I was shooting 2-3 times/week throughout the winter, with a competition once/month. I usually shot 60-70 shots/session with more on competition day. During the summer, I was shooting 1-2 times/week with two competitions/summer. This was a combination of air and smallbore, with a little high power for fun.
During the last year I have been averaging once a month-hoping to find some enthusiasm.

No where near as much as I'd like!!
It's been months and every time I think I might very a chance, something comes up. Singing needs fixing, building. One of my 3 kids needs taken somewhere, the weather is crappy etc. etc. Or the best one....... I might have about 150 yards to shoot but it needs mowing!

Weekends I rise really early, put on a hot pot of coffee and plink away at multiple targets 50&75 yards out. The bigger caliber guns cycle the least amount of ammo. I’d love to see if I could set off some tannerite to hold revelry at 8 am
