When shooting pistols minimum would be 200. Normal would be close to 500 rounds. I drive 1.5 hours to the range. So I shoot quite a bit while there.
 
200 or so if the wife goes. 500+ if i am by myself. 100 or so if me and the fellas go to the range. And the trips with the fellas take twice as long to shoot way less on account of all the lying and shennanigans. Also lunch usually takes up a lot of time.
 
I bought a membership a at local range this weekend, I'm going to try and shoot at least twice a month. I have been averaging about 200-250 a trip,, gonna get expensive this year
 
200-300 with pistols

Luckily I don't pay range fees and shoot outside 15 minutes from my house. And it's private. Weather can kinda sucks sometimes but it's good to run firearms in all climates. I get to shoot with a wide variety of individuals when we do a group shoot or I have access whenever.

2018 is going to bring some night shoots and other cool stuff. :cool:

Same here. The range I go to is 90mi away and I go at least once a month. So try and do about 500 rounds per trip.
 
250-500 per trip.

this is almost always shooting five rounds strings with mags that are not pre-loaded. usually go anywhere between 1 to 4 times a month, been a little more lately with the cold weather.

unfortunately I think most of my range trips are just ingraining bad habits.

I wish I had a private range where I could shoot a couple strings a night.
 
200-400 once or twice a month for practice.
120+ 1-3 times a month in matches.

I hardly shot until I got my membership at Woody's. Now I'm a shootin' fool. :D
 
Usually about 50 .38 Special and another 100 between .380, and 9mm.
 
I might split a box of 50 between a couple guns. Takes just a few minutes. Then I'm back to standing around and BSing about guns with the folks at Firepower.

These days it's uncommon for me to shoot more than 50 at one. Diminishing returns.
 
180-ish or so usually, but I always take rifles too.
That's just centerfire. Rimfire..hundreds easy. Playing GI Joe with a M&P 15-22 and several mag drops is still fun.
My range is a quarter-mile drive out back on my atv. Well you can take a truck, but the atv is a perfect range cart.
I can go anytime, so I don't feel pressed to dispose of stock. Sometimes I'll just sit out there and listen to the radio and look over my guns.
 
F.I.L. put in a nice pit at the back of his property and its only 7 miles over there so I can get behind my handguns more often. About 50 rds per trip usually does it for me.
 
I voted less then 50 as I have a range in the backyard so shoot nearly daily. No need for long range sessions. When deployed however, shoot as often and as much as possible. And true lead farmer here since I shoot home cast bullets and later remine the bullets out to go back into the pot. :)

I shoot 500 rounds on average almost every weekend. Reloading makes this possible for me.

Several years back when I was living in Idaho my boss provided all of the ammo I needed to train for local matches. I shot at least 2000 rounds of 9mm and 45ACP each week. My accuracy and speed improved by leaps and bounds.
