Re: .Round count
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: nobody13</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I was just wondering what all you non-comp. rec. shooters get for an annual round count? I realize a guy can get more living in the southern part of the u.s. Up north, winters make it a bit tougher. I had a guy tell me he gets approx. 10k rounds per season with a full time job. Maybe I just don't get out enough, but usually twice a week. So How many rounds go down range just for fun?? </div></div>
That is a little less than 200 rounds a week. It's totally doable, but not cheap.
I can put down 50-100 in a meaningful range session. More than that and it starts to be "blasting". IIRC out state 5-day basic school requires you to bring 500 rounds.
10k rounds a year through a precision rifle is definitely possible, but not the norm. I can't afford to do it at my current level, but I try. Lately it's just been difficult to find time to get to the range when I am not being paid for it.
