how much time do you spend at the range? - Page 2 - XDTalk Forums

Reyort · 09-21-2009, 05:47 PM

2 hours every weekend (at least). This last weekend me and 2 of my buddies went through 350 rounds of "real" ammo and about 300 .22 rounds. Wears you out!

not much, not working at the moment.

One Sunday a month, 100-300 rounds, maybe an hour or two.

I train one hour per session three to four times a month. I use an average of 300 to 400 rounds per training session. But that is dependent on the availability of ammo at the time.

I go to the range 2-4 times a week. Usually shoot 100-200 rds. I usually have a plan about what I need to work on. More than that I start getting sloppy and get back into bad habits.

I go about once every other weekend. I have a membership at the sportsman's club - it's $25/yr for trap only, or $35/yr for trap + range.

Of course, I always get the range membership for the extra $10! I have a combo that gets me through the gate, and usually there is no one there, which allows me to practice draw and fire/double-tap techniques with my XD, and with my AR, I can practice low-ready to firing, charging, walking while firing etc, techniques without scaring any sheeple.

One day, some dumba$$ showed up with his two teenage kids and one of them shot one of my milk jugs (I like to blow them up with high-speed varmint rounds). That wasn't the bad part. The bad part was the kid wouldn't fess up to doing it. "I don't know if I shot it..." BS! They had bad range manners and I left. No sense starting an argument when there are weapons laying around.

Often I will stay there for a couple hours and try different scopes, ammo, etc. But when others show up and always want to go downrange and stuff, I cut my time short.

depends if my wife and son both go or not but I usually will shoot a few hundred rounds

Uriel999 · 09-23-2009, 01:26 AM

I go about once a month and put around 200 rounds downrange with my 45. I don't make enough money to shoot more often than that.

Well, actually I probably could shoot more...but I love beer too much.

Depends how much .22 I'm willing to part with. I rarely even BRING my XD. Sad to me at least. I love shooting that thing and I am getting REALLY good with dry-fire... Now I need to apply what I've learned, and 50 rounds a week (generally month) just isn't enough.

I am totally spoiled by having a local range that only charges $5 per day. My buddy and I go twice a month for about an hour. We drill though. Each guy loads the other one's mags and puts a training round or two in each mag. Reinforces the tap-and-rack drill so it's almost muscle memory. Shoot from cover, different positions, etc. We don't have a range day where there isn't a contest of some sort. Last week was left handed shooting with alternating eyes closed. That'll make you humble.
