How Often And How Many In A Normal Range day

[MRT949]

I know most of us retired shooters try to shoot every day.
Do you shoot the same gun every time or do you alternate .
How many days do you average ?

I try and rotate and always bring 2. I shoot 6-8 hours a week in winter, sometimes more, less in summer if the fish are biting! I'm lucky to have an indoor, heated 50 yard range just a few blocks from my house, so weather isn't an issue.

We are charter members of the retired club.

I shoot a minimum of 5 days a week and average more like 6, but for me it's just a matter of heading down to the basement or stepping out into the yard when the weather allows. Even missing one day of shooting makes me antsy. Been known to shoot twice a day, since it's so easy for me to do.

Since we have a rather large collection of AGs, I try to rotate and shoot different guns on a regular basis, though I have favorites when it comes to actually working on my shooting. 90% of my shooting, though, is with springers, even though we do have other types of AGs. Springers just fit my spur of the moment shooting style better than any other type of gun, plus, well, I'm just addicted to springers. I actually miss the recoil when I shoot other types of guns.

Also depends on the time of year. For basement work in the winter, I shoot mostly the light to moderate power springers, especially the HW30S, since it's all 10 meter work. During our outdoor shooting season, the bulk of my shooting is from 35 to 50 yards and that's when I break out the top end springers like the 97K or the TX 200.

I'm retired. Though I have lots to do out in the garden and have other hobbies, I shoot in my basement range once a week. Maybe set up a 5 bull 25 feet airgun target and get 5 shots in each using any of my airguns. I used to shoot long sessions when I was younger. Did field shoots at the farms and other invites. I guess my interest in shooting in general has tapered off. Still love my airguns though.
