jskd82 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I've been trying to go at least once a week and usually take 300 rounds each time to work on drills. That usually lasts me about 3 1/2 hours. How much do you usually shoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatmanfish Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Dry fire regularly. Live fire once a week except during the winter. I live fire about 2x a month between December and March. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick779 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Once or twice a month depending on what is going on. Typically an hour or two ~250-300 rounds depending on what im practicing. Its a rather restrictive range, but a very nice facility. Im going to try to join a second range this year with some outdoor areas, but we will see. My main focus this year is trying USPSA (casually), range training gets quite boring after you have a handle on the fundamentals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmDShooter Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Ideally once a week for practice, but that's not been happening lately. I usually take about 200 rounds and work on mini USPSA stages that force me to use a skill that I noticed was lacking in matches. Dry firing doesn't happen as much as it should, but it helps a lot.

Hiroshi Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Once a month, I would love to shoot more often than that but with work and taking care of the household chores just don't have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124gr9mm Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Once a week to the indoor pistol range. I go during my lunch break so I only shoot for about 45 minutes (range is about 5 minutes from my house). When the weather clears I'll add once every other week to the outdoor range for rifle. I'll throw in an extra day here and there in the spring and summer if the kids want to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I haven’t made it a point to force my self to dryfire hardly at all. Hopefully I can find some motivation soon, this winter feels like forever.

mattmann Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Used to go at least 1-2 times a month. It’s sadly been more than that lately. I have kept dry firing but with my wife being a stay at home mom to our 1 year old, 2 year old and 8 year old AND homeschooling them.........she needs some time away from the house on my down times from work lol. She does push me to go shoot more though. She’s the best wife there is!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakin_bakin Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I dry fire 6-7 times a week for 20-60 minutes. Usually week days is about 20-30 minutes. Weekends is about 30-60 minutes. I then live fire about 500 rounds a week on Saturday or Sunday. I almost never miss a week of live fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George16 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I Dry Fire daily and go to the range 1-2 times a week for live fire.Retired life is nice since I can go to the range anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnceACowboy Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Live fire at least weekly; more if the weather cooperates. Since I'm in Texas that is most of the time. Usually 100-200 rounds working on fundamental drills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scroadkill Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I'm holding steady at 1 match / week for 2 years .. no practice. no dry fire. having fun, but feeling plateaued at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrado_kid Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I like to get out a once a week for live fire on the off season. During match season we’re shooting just about every weekend so that’s my live fire. Trying to force myself to dryfire more but it’s hard with two little ones (3 and 1).

blueorison Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I don't practice or dryfire - have other focuses. I go to matches 2x a month and just have fun and trial and error/practice on the courses. Obviously don't do this, because this isn't the way you should abstract practice/training/performance from each other. I'm just sharing because I want you to know that you can spend time on other focuses (in my case, art), and still have fun at matches. You don't have to dryfire or practice to still have fun at matches. I do ok at them. Shooting isn't everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onpointgun Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I typically try to hit the range twice per week or more if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdp88 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I live fire 300-400 rounds per session 1-2 times per week depending on what I have going on that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Dry fire multiple times a week. Make it to the range 3-4 times a month (wish time allowed for more) Take at least one class every quarter (if possible) Frank Proctor will be in the area again soon, so I will try to go there.

HesedTech Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 The question about how much might also include age and classification. Round count should include what are you working on. I discovered all my dry fire made me faster, my stage planning improved greatly and my times are amongst the better shooters. One problem, mikes, I have too many scored errors and I thought I was calling my shots (I’m and old guy 63, Production and B class). I’ve upped my live fire (in addition to dry) to about 1,000 rounds a week working on seeing the sights and calling my shots, not just sending ammo down range. It works and even for old guys who need a prescription to see the front sight my scores and placements have been improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueorison Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Wow, today I learned that everyone practices and shoots way more than me. Makes me so happy that y'all are all getting out there and improving yourselves and skillsets! Thanks for encouragement! Hope to see y'all keep kickin butt!

AverageJoeShooting Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 twice a week and sometimes three times! usually about 100 rounds per trip, but i usually go with a specific purpose in mind like if i need to sight in my new scope or sight in my new red dot etc etc also if i have guns laying around and i notice i havent shot them in a while ill take it to the range just so i can stay in practice with all of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerofade Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I am really new to this. I live fire about 4-6 per month. I just started more serious dry fire practice at home. My goal moving forward is to dry fire about 5 times per week for 30-60 minutes per session. The little bit of dry fire i have done seems to have helped, looking forward to seeing what happens with more practice and focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
