    Default How many rounds do you actually Shoot in a year?

    I dry fire quite a bit but
    How many rounds do you actually Shoot in a year?

    I decided to try and work it out,

    Based on the Fact that I am an active member of 2
    clubs and shoot the majority of our matches lets say
    8 - 10 matches at each club
    4 provincial Leagues
    and might shoot 2500 in practice "high estimate"
    and possibly 2 nationals per year
    and a bit of IDPA

    I come in at around 6800 - 8000

    High? Low?

    My Tally, just since 16 december 2013, till today...

    3145 Rounds (3 Club shoots, each plus or minus 100 rounds per shoot... the rest practice, about 500 a week).

    The entire year of 2013 (Jan to December) 9052 rounds.

    My practicing has picked up a bit obviously. I expect that I will maintain about 1500 rounds per month for the entire 2014 calendar year.

    Don't even want to start working out the finances involved with that (reloads, targets, wear and tear, fuel etc)... nor the 'cost' of the time invested. Would be too depressing

    The cost of such items (time and money) is a big contributing factor though... so this will play a big part in how much an individual could 'afford' to shoot.

    Its all about the quality and not just the quantity, IMHO.

    I would rather go to the range and fire 50 good rounds that teach me something or help me to refine a skill, than stand there and fire 500 rounds nilly willy into the backstop and not learn anything about my performance.

    That said, I am creeping up to 1500+ rounds for January....

    Oh absolutely ... With you on that.

    I shoot out about 100 to 200 rounds per practice session. Over about 5 hours.

    I did a lot more than that over December though ... (I will maintain it was purely for some stress relief... and I am sticking to my story!)
