how much time do you spend at the range? - Page 4 - XDTalk Forums

benp · 10-31-2009, 08:48 AM

I am able to shoot at the house.

So it varies from 1 magazine to around 100 or so rounds. In the non winter months I shoot a minimum of once a week.

Thank you for this brilliant idea.

I try to get there once a week. I usually practice about an hour and shoot between 100-200 rds of .40S&W. I stay longer when I take my shotgun. I go much more if ammo was cheaper. I used to have a SKS rifle that was a nice rifle to shoot and the ammo was cheap. But the outdoor range I went to shut down, and the other one in my area was too expensive to join. So I joined a 25 yd local indoor range, sold the rifle, bought my XDm.40 and Beretta/Stoeger Cougar and am quite content.

Until the pistol buying urge hits me again!!!!!

I go about once every week or two, only because of ammo cost. I shoot around 150-200 rounds per visit. I originally shot around 300-400 each outting but noticed that my shooting would get sloppy after about 200-250. Now I focus on technic,drawing, accuracy and grouping more then how many rounds i blow thru. Would rather go more days less rounds per visit then more rounds and less visits. I just feel it helps my shooting more.

have not been in a couple months and it sucks. i really need to go. i useally spend about 2 hours there. practice (depends if people are there) walking and shooting and draw and shot, different stance and one handed and two handed shooting. i dont think i could spend more then two hours. A.D.D bad for me

I spend 1 1/2 hours once a week and go through 200rds. I belong to a gun club that is 5 blocks away from my house and I pay $60 bucks a year. I can shoot from dusk till dawn so it is real convenient.

Indoor at $9 -$25 per visit about 2 hours and 100-200rds per pistol (currently three)

I have a membership to a local range (2 minutes from work) and I've been going twice a week now that I have my P220/22LR set up the way I want it. Usually burn through 270-360 rounds. If I bring a centerfire pistol, I shoot between 50-100 rounds. Last couple trips I've shot the XD-9SC or one of my SIGs ( P220 / P226 / P228 ) when I was testing the proper installation of night sights on them.

CGT80 · 11-15-2009, 06:38 PM

My last daytime visit to the range consisted of 376.33 seconds and aprox. 200 rounds of ammo, spread across 6 different stages. I spent probably another hour or so and 200-300 rounds for some practice. I shoot steel madness with Shooting Sports Alliance.
I usually arrive at the range around 9am and after shooting and whoring brass I leave about 4pm. Range/match fee is $35.

I belong to a range about 30 minutes from my house. There are closer, but at this range I can shoot from the floor, practice from the holster, moving, around cover. I usually go through about 150 rds of 9mm every 2 weeks, but I've been shooting a lot more 22 lately and trying to take it easy on the 9 due to cost.
