rtr Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 How many rounds have you shot in your life total (not just for IPSC but total) and what is your highest current IPSC classification? For me probably just over 50,000 I'm a B Open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reneet Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) I'm guessing less than 500,000 but don't really know for sure. I'd say I've probably shot an average of 15,000 per year since 1993. A open B limited Edited October 24, 2005 by reneet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al503 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I just started shooting IPSC about a year ago. So far I've got around 15K under my belt. Just can't find the time to shoot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Not a clue really. I do know that my father had me shooting a pair of pearl handled Colts before I could ride a bike. I've shot benchrest rimfire, rimfire silhouette and sporting clays seriously before this game. This year approaching 10,000 rounds and I am a C class shooter trying to get better and learn on these boards. For me the next big step won't come with some technique breakthrough. I believe it will come when something between my ears clicks so that I can accomplish what I know how to accomplish. Round count alone isn't going to make you a great shooter in my experience. Technique and mental toughness are the building blocks of success. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I voted for less than 500,000. I casually shot until 2001...then I started shooting USPSA,IDPA, NRA, USA shooting and some other stuff. I can say in 2001 I went through 8000 pistol rounds plus as many .22 rounds and a few large caliber dinking around with my deer rifle just for Shi** and grins. in 2002 I got the 650 and went through 15,000 plus and started playing with 3-gun stuff.....3 matches that year, plus NRA silhoettes, NRA high power, NRA small bore prone, USA shooting Air rifle and Air pistol. In 2003 I really cranked the handle on the 650 went through 40,000 pistol, 1500+ rifle(.308) and no telling the .22 In 2004 I changed over to revolver and had to start over on the learning curve, went through about 30,000 rounds in it (now remember, I live in the south and shoot all year) plus the other guns in High power, Silohette, ect this year I have really stepped up the work,(and am quite worn out) and have loaded 80,000 rounds and have shot out maybe around 2/3 of them mostly .45s through the wheelgun but here lately the new benny blaster is getting its fair share. So My best guess is since 2001 I have been through 100,000+ just of pistol, man I need to invest in stock of some of the reloader suppliers. USPSA Class: L......A R.....A L10...B P......B IDPA Class: SSR.....EX ESR.....EX CDP.....EX SSP.....EX ESP.....EX NRA Class: High Power......SS.....10% from expert Small bore Prone:...SS Silohettes.......AA Damn That is way too busy, need to slow down and concentrate on just a few. Any way, there you go. HOPALONG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Sweeney Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I'm in the "one million plus" column. For twenty years my ammunition comsumption was in excess of 35,000 rounds a year. Add in the decade before IPSC, the decade since giving up gunsmithing, and the law enforcement classes, and there we are. Probably 50K of that was at Second Chance on buzzguns alone.

carinab Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) I got to be close to 750K...I did nearly 200,000 in the first three years alone (thank you SDPD for the unofficial ammo sponsorship) and I started in '92. Current classification A limited, B lim-10 and open (can you tell I only shoot iron sights?). Edited October 24, 2005 by carinab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnshapiro Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Somewhere in the vicinity of 250,000. The vast majority of it was with Cowboy guns. Only got about 6000 through my Lim 10 gun. C Lim 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerT Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Less than 500K, but I couldn't say for sure. If you count the 6 years of competitive trap, that adds alot to all of the rifle and pistol. Current USPSA L-10 - Master All other divisions- A. Some by default, some earned.

Jon Merricks Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Less than a % away from M in open and less than 100k. I've shot more in the last 5 years than the 29 years before that. I've also shot less this year than any of the past 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerT Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I notice this thread again as I was going through here ,and thought the simple answers of "NOT ENOUGH" and "NOT AS HIGH AS I WANT TO BE." was what I should have put the first time through.

3quartertime Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Voted less than 500,000. But that could be high. In his day Pops was quite the target shooter and early single stage reloader. Mom talks about him ruining her pots melting to cast up lead bullets back in the sixties!!! He dealt/traded lots when I was a kid. I shot alot but who know how many rounds. If you count .22's in my old Ithica lever action I'm probably pretty high. As a pre-teen I was the shjt down the railroad tracks!!! Chipmunks at 50 yards open sights baby... Dropped a few thou down the range with select fire. Shot lots my second year in IPSC. What a long strange trip it's been!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPSCDRL Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 A quick calculation puts me somwhere between 750K and 1 Mil. That must be the reason for all those buckets of brass in my cellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1b Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I guessed less than 500,000 but like the others that could be conservative. GM Open M Limited M Lim-10 Production . . . TBD J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubber Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I guessed a little of a milion rounds. Not good, just old. Had three years in the military M2 caliber 50, M60, even got the grease guns before the Army decided that they did not want them anymore. And then the M16's and 45's. Not to mentions the buckets of 22's. Started shooting a thng called Combat Pistol in 1975, ain't quit yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kline Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I gotta be around 150,000-170,000 in 9-10 years of IPSC and LEO. GM Limited M Open M Production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
