How often do you get to the range

[Toney]

I Get out about 3 to 4 times a week, don't really
shoot that much maybe a couple a times,
then i walk the hill.

Came down with bad diebetes about 2 1/2 years ago
so i've become a stumbling woods bum, it's just hard to
feel bad in the woods.

I know that feeling trust me ! I'm lucky enought to live on a large farm & not only have my own range right at the back door but We have the loacal pistol & shooting ranfge on the Property (about half a mile behind our place ) So I get to sight in & generaly Get the Kids out for a shot most days that I'm home .My major problem is that I've shot for a living for my entire working life & it's like bringing work home with me ! Mind you I've discovered Cowboy action & that has become a real realise for me!

Well I know this is an old thread but a good question. If I don't get to the range at least every other Sunday I feel cheated. Some folks go to thearpy, I go shooting. Same effect but more fun.

Know exactly where your comming from there Hunter ! I shoot for a living . It' nice to get up to the range & know in the back of my mind that I can let a few off & it ain't important whether I miss ! It's great to just sit down with like minded people & burn some powder sometimes !

Spring, Summer and Fall at least once a week weather permitting. In the winter well it is usuakky time to climb the walls. Found a new hobby for in the winter other than reloading and casting and that is reading GOOD reloading and shooting magazines.
DOK what you got down under for good magazines?
In all honesty I have found 5 up here that I subscribe to, Handloader, Rifle, Alberta Game Warden, Western Canada and A News paper out of the Yukon mostly gun stuff for sale. (Damn can't remember the name of it.)
A lot of the stuff off the shelf that you buy are so hipped and full of B.S that they aren't worth the money.

We get a lot of the US publications down here as well as The Sporting Shooter & Guns Australia that I can think of ! Funny thing is you can go into most News agents & buy any amount of Pornography you like!! but man try & buy a Gun mag !

I guess it depends on what you'd rather spend most of your time shooting.

I try to go about once a week. I shoot anywhere's between 200 and 400rds. It's the only thing I enjoy doing outside my family. I am stuck in this house all week and it's my chance to raise a little cane. I take 2 to 4 ddifferent guns with me and have a ball. Wife says I am more charming if she gets me down there once a week and bear if she don't. It just don't always work out. (sigh)..

Baldy after 27 years I finally got my wife to go with me and she loved it. Pretty much anytime I want to go she is ready to come along it's great fun just to see someone 53 years old start shooting and get a kick out of it.

You are exactly correct. Some of out range trips turn out to be a social event as well. I have learned right much from the old timers that shoot at out range. Most of them been at it longer than I been in this world and know what they are talking about.
It is funny how this one hobby can bring so many folks together in real time and cyberspace.
