Unfortunately, I've met people who think that way, too... Glad you don't yell at ladies. Hahaha...

That's the beauty of living in the middle of NOWHERE and reloading.

I reload, but living in a very small town is as close as I"m gonna get to "middle of nowhere"

never enough

I generally shoot once a week, but that might change. I currently shoot at a range that is about 45 minutes away. I just applied (they too my check) for membership in a local club that had a waiting list. I should be approved on February 1st. At that time the range will be just 7 minutes away (except about 15 minutes during holiday traffic time).

But I also have a 10 meter pellet gun range set up in my basement and I have a 10 meter pellet gun to practice with. This is a big help. I recently bought a "double action" pellet gun and I shoot with that too, though it is not nearly as accurate as the 10 meter gun is.

I shoot my firearms to keep my skills up once a week. I work part time at an indoor range and the gunsmith has me zero the sights and test fire the repairs he makes, so I really shoot about 5 times a week. Pretty lucky, at least with firearms sports.

Man, reading these responses gets me so jealous. Going a couple of times a month would be frequent for me. It gets difficult when the nearest public range is half an hour away with no traffic. Plus $20 an hour. It's frustrating because I'm relatively new to handgun shooting and there are obviously things I want to work on, but can only get to practice them on range trips that are few and far between =[. I can only hope that relocating is in my not too distant future.

I'd love to go more but a couple times per month is about all I can afford these days.

For Christmas my son purchased me a 1 month membership at a local range. I now go 3-4 times per week! Unlimited range time and free use of the rental guns, have to buy their ammo for rentals. Previouly went once per week.

Best $40 gift ever!
