I'm just curious as to how many folks at THR own guns and practice shooting for personal defense purposes only without being into shooting for sport/hobby, law enforcement, military, or hunting.
As i some of you know, i just bought my first gun, a taurus 66, 4" 357 magnum, and i want to learn how to use it for defense purposes.
pricing ammunition and hearing about price increases coupled with hearing how much ammo many of you go through, "practice" seems like its going to be very expensive.
i'm not really looking to become a gun hobbyist, but i do want to be comfortable handling and shooting my defense weapon.
i was wondering, for those who are also only doing this for personal defense, but any others are welcome chime in because more frequent shooters will likely know more about becomming proficient or at least decent with a firearm.
How often do you shoot/go to the range?
How many rounds do you usually use in a trip? How long do you shoot?
Do you practice with snap caps, dry firing?
How much ammo do you keep or store at home per gun?
