Just curious. I shoot once a week at either an indoor or outdoor range. I shoot about 150 rounds per visit. 9mm, 9mm Mak, .38 Sp, .45 colt. It varies between which firearms I take with me.
Thanks

How Many Rounds a Week?

what are you trying to accomplish? If you want max skill
for the effort and price, dont screw up your synapes by using different "feels" and action types. I once shot 24,000 rds of .45's in 6 weeks. Since then, there have been times when I didn't shoot at all for years. The skill level is still very adquate for any sort of realistic defensive scenario.

I see your point, but must add that in my experience, nothing undoes a flinch faster than switching calibers up and down, up and down, up and down.

well i like to shoot for enjoyment
not planning for the end of the world
so im with ezypckns. on a good week, 200 or so 22lr, maybe 50-100 of another caliber
if its my encore in 223 40 will about do it for me for teh day
i dont need to shoot 24,000 rounds in six weeks to have a good time and i'd prolly be happier shooting that over a few years and having the use of my wrists

The wife and I go shooting about twice a month, but sometimes up to eight times a month. Each time we go to the range, we shoot between 100 and 500 rounds, each. Everything from 22 to 44mag in pistols and 22 to 308 in rifles. We shoot for the enjoyment of it, but having so many different guns, sometimes it is difficult remembering how to aim certain guns....especially rifles with iron sights at 100 yrds.
And, yes.....the easiest way to get rid of a flinch is to drop back down a caliber or two.

Between 100 and 200.
I often shoot different types of ammo for articles. That sometimes means less shooting than if I'm just practicing.
I was at the range Monday, shot .22, 9mm, .38 Special, .410 shotgun, and a few .308s and .30-06s. Round count was just over 100. I shot 9mm the most and .22 next.

I try to get out once a week and usually shoot a least 200 rounds.
I only own .357 revolvers, one .357 Winchester, an SKS which I've never gotten to fire since purchasing it, and a couple of .22s. So I don't go back and forth between calibers too much.

200 rounds of .45 a week, although recently it's started to falter because of exams and whatnot.

About 250 rounds. Usually 50 centerfire and 200 .22 LRs.

Now that is is summer I have been averaging around 200 rounds of 9mm per week. When I am down at my inlaws in IA I will shoot over 1K rounds of various calibers in one weekend.

100 to 200 rounds if its my ammo. As much as the dept. will let me shoot when they are providing the ammo.
I had no soreness of hands or wrists. 230 grs at 750 fps
is a pussy cat of a load in a full size and wt 1911. Even if it was 900 fps, there'd be no pain with such a heavy gun and the auto action soaking up some of the slam, spreading it out over a bit more time. It would be helpful to have a heavier recoil and mainspring for the 230 at 900, tho, along with a neoprenes shok buff bening changed out every 1000 rds or so.

Depends. If I'm working accuracy on a given handgun I'll do 200-300 in a session. If I'm working fundamentals such as speed off the draw or shooting a couple rounds before changing mags and shooting two more it can be as little as 50-100. Averaged out over year, rounds per week is probably 150.

Once a week I pick just one gun to shoot, be it .357 revolver or 1911 .45 acp, and I shoot between 200 and 300 rounds at a standard bullseye target.
Hmm,
Varies. I'm usually pretty busy with work. (In fact that's where I am right now, waiting for a tape backup job so I can switch tapes).
Anyway I might go several months without firing a shot, or picking up a gun. But when I go I've been known to go three or four times a week. And then I'll usually take 1k-2k rounds with me each trip. Mostly 22lr in a Kimber 1911 upper. But I'll mix it up with caliber and guns sometimes. I think I've been through close to 10k rounds in about a week a couple times.
Rifles are a different story. And probably not for this thread.

Number of Rounds?
Well, a trip to the raneg usually means at leats 300 rds - 100 or either 9mm or .45, 100 of .380, usually 50 .38 thru my SP101, another 50 through my P-32. If I'm not tired by then, then another 50 through my Beretta 87 (ie .22LR).
Tommorrow however will be at least 250 rds alone thru my G19 'cause I haven't shot it in awhile plus some though my Bersa/P-32/SP101.
Guess it will be a kinda "Resouvoir (sp?) Dogs" type day

Once a week, or more? Man, I'm lucky to get to the range once or twice a month. Having said that, I'm in the process of packing up my range bag and taking a new shooter to the range.

In Winter Indoors maybe shoot 100-150 per week depending on how cold. {Always lots of dry-practice though!}
In the warm months outdoors avg. 200-400 per week with never more than 150-200 per session and attend once per month Saturday Clinics of usually 400 rounds.
All of this is from the holster or from the ready out to 50 meters.

I shoot once a week, almost always outdoors by preference. I had a bad prior lead exposure (thankfully it has cleared up) from a badly ventilated indoor range in another city.
There is, however, a well-ventilated, well-run indoor range near me, and I go there once every couple of months because they let you do more "tactical" types of practice than my outdoor range does.
Circa 250 rounds per week, .22 LR, .32 H&R Mag, .38 Special, .357 Mag, and/or .45 ACP. Bring one long gun and 2-3 handguns to each session.
