How often do you shoot........

[Corey]

When I look at the guys that post on boomershooter I would say 80% or more shoot at least monthly, either practice or matches. Just thought I would set up a poll.

 

[Wall]

probably could've worded the thread title a little differently

 

[Corey]

Wall if you can correct the title feel free, I had to use the old desk top and it kept popping up windows prompting me to update every time I turned around, I just realized my spelling errors.

 

[drmitchgibson]

Yeah, someone clean up the thread title

Duffer here. Two matches a month.... shot more in OKC.... but just dont have the time to drive all over Nevada and Norcal to chase USPSA.

Like a huge segment of the customer base....for me, IDPA is a structured practice session. I do carry daily ( about 34 years now...paid and civilian)and have done some instructional work.
Not too many years ago , I was a fair club level skeet shooter. Wore out a knee and back, so I dont hunt as much as I like... still wack a coyote or two every year.

In addition.... been tinkering with 1911's, Colt single actions and gun restoration since a lot of you kids were leaving mustard in your pants. Looking for a lathe and mill, 1911 work and general gunsmith work will be my semi retirement job in a couple of years.


Proud to say I learn something new every day.

I sense some derision in the way you use the word duffer in your poll. For every major leaguer, there are 10,000 guys in C league slow pitch. And its that way in every sport.
You may want to keep that in mind...for every Leatham there are 1,000 duffers buying the primers powder and guns....and services.

I shoot a lot, pretty much weekly, I still suck....

 

[Bob Sanders]

2 to 3 times a month. Priority is 3 gun, USPSA, then Steel Challenge. Then there is trap now and again. Like sporting clays, but seems shotgun games are kinda pricey

 

[dennishoddy]

Minimum 4 times a month. Sometimes 5.

That boy of yours is steadily getting better that is what is important.

Maybe I put to much stock in TDSA. IMO people show up to OKC gun club shoot some matches may do well may shoot horrible but they have fun then they attend a TDSA class or equivalent practice up and do really well. Majority of shooters that have come out of TDSA I would not classify as a duffer. I see duffer as a derogatory term.

 

[jtischauser]

I shoot once it twice a month. Never practice but I love archery.

 

[Matt1911]

I don't shoot nearly as much as I'd like.
Finding powder is my biggest issue at the moment.

 

[James Peel]

I try and practice once a week, shoot one or two 3gun matches a month (when they aren't rained out)

 

[mikey80]

My sponsor requires I shoot two locals or one Level II a month. It's really stressful for a duffer like me.

 

[Corey]

The poll disappeared

 

[45recoil]

[mikey80]

This screams Jared...

 

[jtischauser]

That's what he said!

 

[SpaceFlunky]

I shoot 2-3 matches a month and do 1-2 live fire group shooting sessions a month.

 

[Burk Cornelius]

Yes, it does, except it was me. I changed the title and the poll disappeared. Sorry Corey. Let me see if I can fix it somehow
