Add in a prairie dog trip once in a while it’s pushing 3000-4000 a year.
One year(2018) I really got into 22LR competitions and shot just over 5000 rounds in testing and practice.
I shoot in all conditions except pouring rain, unless a comp is going on through it.
Still have guys that shoot better than me so there is that!
I sincerely wasn't directing the comment your way as previous discussions could tell you shot more than most. Your numbers make you an anomaly. Very few shooters get 1000 centerfire pistol/rifle rounds down range per year. Most rely on their heritage (I grew up around guns therefore need to practice less than most) or geography (I'm from a red state which automatically makes me a better shot) to substitute real range time. Heck a bulk of our orange army in MN struggle to get 100 rounds out of a rifle per year. Go to a bonafide range the Thurs or Fri before deer season and see how many are "just checking to making sure she's still on" with the same box of "shells" they bought 10 years ago. They also load their guns with "clips".[/quote]
I hear ya. The clip thing drives me nuts. My dad says it all the time. I gave up correcting him years ago.
A buddy and I when to the local range and just sat in lawn chairs watching people trying to sight in their rifles once the Saturday afternoon before deer opener. It was a lot of fun, might have to do that again.[/quote]You don't want to change your name to emptyclip? Haha
