It varies but generally once a week. Depending on what I’m shooting anything from 20 rounds to 500. My range is a 20 minute scenic drive up owl canyon. The range is on the other side of the top picture in a natural box canyon, well really an open draw with tall hills surrounding it. Driving there is part of the fun!
I need to find a different route there, never seen those views!!
Yes you have! Look south when you pass over owl creek (the sharp curve) granted to are artsy pictures and one during a flash flood, but that’s the drive we make to the range.
I'd say 2-3 times a month, certainly less than I used to due the the component cost, which by the way now has to include fuel. Well, over here it does.
The flight was uneventful, which is what one wants when one is transporting an Elephant. Reuters, Dec 2020.
More than most folks and DEFINITELY not often enough to keep the tip at optimum sharp. When I was working for the USCCA it was several times per week. I also had access to some world class trainers with decades of experience and worn out t-shirts that would let me attend and audit classes any time I wanted so the last few years were amazing in the skills and knowledge gathering!
Now I'm back in my old world so it has dwindled to a few times a months and usually my drills with a handgun since this is the most likely skill I'll need to use at some point in my life.
When I go I shoot a few hundred rounds mostly with my carry guns at the very least. I need to spend some time with my rifles and especially the cowboy guns some of which have not seen a single round. I'm also planning to start a trap group to do a scheduled shoot a few times a month.
I used to go to the indoor range 2 or 3 times a month. Have only shot once since I moved at fishead's home range gut that will become often once the wife is well again and we get the house settled in more

I usually go to an indoor range 1x / week. 50rds of 9mm and maybe another 50-100 .22 is my allowance these days. used to go to the outdoor facility for a round of trap and the rifle/pistol range but that is a significant drive and requires a reservation and a long list of new rules. I have not been back for about a year. There are now houses in sight of my old favorite location on BLM land.
I used to shoot 1 or 2 times a week at least. Covid and a wrist injury put a stop to most of it for a longtime. The wrist is not much better after surgery so maybe 1once a month now. Can't reload ammo so can't shot much.
Rifles have been the focus for the last few years. At times I seem to spend more time at the loading bench & cleaning than shooting.
- to answer your question -
Dry fire practice, dry fire mixed with live fire. Dry fire done in the back yard. I try to mimic a match so 45-60 shots. When I go to the range it depends, actual fired rounds will range from 15-20 to 60-70 center fire, to 50-100 22LR)
3-5 days weekly
In times pass when HG proficiency was my focus, ammo was less costly, & plentiful, and I was more motivated, 3-5 days a week 100-300 rounds a session. If I went pass 300 rounds I felt I was mainly perfectly tuning, practicing & developing bad habits.
