So how many rounds do you shoot your air gun a month?

Since I have gotten into PCP guns that are Mag fed it has greatly increased. ::)

Last week I shot 156 rounds in one chrono test.
Yesterday I blew through 250 easily in a single day.

So... I am thinking a 1000 on a good week like now "Prime Time".... So 4000 a month? (DANG!)
 During the winter it is 250 a month.
I will realistically go through 2 tins of 500, so 1000 a month.

It depends on how many squirrels I see and how accurately I am shooting.

Edit:   During one Winter Squirrel season in Louisiana (shooting the Discovery .22), I shot fewer than 80 pellets and took home 36 squirrels.

I usually don't shoot more than 60 rounds at time.  I am hand pumping so after 60 I need to refill the rifle, so not much fun after that while my heart rate is pumping.

about 6-700 here a week. but i cast my own. so 2000+ a month sometime more others less. weather and testing influences both.

Based on my orders, about 5K per 3 months.  Right now I'm kinda slow because I've got a bunch of work to do around the house.  In the winter I get more time to shoot.

As few as 30...  Or as many as 14,550.

OK, I've got to ask about the oddly specific 14,550 rounds in a month.  That works out to 485 rounds every day for 30 days or 661.4 rounds each workday (22 days average)!   :o

I do a LOT of slug testing, and usually shoot 300-500 per session. Weather here in Texas allows 7 days a week often. So up to 3500 a week when nice out. Lots of casting!!!

At least 1,000, often 2 or 3k.  Slower in winter.
