Shooting likes it’s 2018
Took the family to the range for the first time in a very long time today. I’ve been rationing ammo I bought before the panics. No rationing today though. Told everyone to shoot to their hearts content and just enjoy themselves. Gotta admit, right now I’m wishing I had started reloading years ago though. Still have plenty of ammo but today put a dent in my supplies. I really hope that the political picture changes for the better and prices start to become reasonable soon.
Anybody else been changing their shooting habits since 2020?

Re: Shooting likes it’s 2018
For first 6 mo or so of 2020 i shot 2-3x a week, 250rds per trip to range. Plus once a month pistol league. But i was still shooting $100/case plus ammo can bulk magtech ammo at the time…
Now? I’m lucky if i even go to monthly pistol league. It breaks my heart and pisses me off to see 34-38 cents at a time go downrange and ultimately end up in the dirt. Moreso when its rifle ammo or shotgun slugs at $1+ a pop. I miss shooting, but i also like to eat.

The memories are worth more than the ammo. Can't take it with you and few family members will actually appreciate what's in the collection, some will just see $$$$ others will see junk, and those special few will have memories attached to 1 or 2 in the collection.....

I bought a .22 semi pistol to keep the skills sharp.

For some reason, I only shoot a few mags with each trip to the range and I only go once a month or so. I'm still well stocked with my horde and have enough reloading supplies to keep me going for a while. I don't know why but I just never did shoot hundreds of rounds per trip.

I live a mile from a club and used to shoot 20-30 rounds 5X a week. Now that I'm getting older it's down to a few times a month. I have an ample stock of ammo and reloading supplies so there's no problem there.

Re: Shooting likes it’s 2018
Well, working at a range has got me shooting more. If there are no scheduled guests I'll let a mag or 2 fly down range. In addition, many of my regulars often offer me their guns to shoot, and their ammo. It's kinda like a nice tip for being the RSO.

Re: Shooting likes it’s 2018
I shoot less often than before, mainly because I have 2 young kids to schedule around.
I tend to shoot more ammo when I'm familiarizing myself with a new gun or sighting one. Having made no purchases in 6 years, I'm usually good for l a box per gun when I go to the range.
