How often do you folks shoot?  Understand that many are here for a variety of reasons.  2a activism, interest in firearms in general, interest in shooting, interest in arguing with folks online. . .

Thought it would be interesting to see how many are interested in shooting.  I really enjoy shooting and why I am into firearms.  However, I very much do appreciate those who show appreciation by collecting firearms. 

Your poll choices doesn't have more than once a week.

I was gonna put an option for "every day" and "a few times a week", but couldn't get the button to add more options to work.  Can't seem to edit the poll now. 

We'll day "once a week" is "once a week, or more". 

I go about every other week, maybe 3 out of 4 weeks
I'd go more but some weeks I gotta do yard work or some other BS
I think I'm a little of both shooter/collector but I shoot everything I own.  also interested in the politics of firearms and 2A bc it affects what I like to do
I like collecting Ruger revolvers and shooting them, as well as bolt action rifles, building AR's, reloading
over the years, my interests have evolved a little. I'm sure it will evolve more over time

Pretty much same for me.  I used to go once a week.  Now, I'm about once a month if I'm lucky.  Occasionally I'll go a few times a month, but that's not normal.  Lots of "adulting" to do. 

I am somewhat of a collector as I am interested in all sorts of guns, but just not enough $$$ to "spread the wealth".  I also shoot all guns that I own, though some more than others.  I'm not against a safe-queen, but just everything I currently own are shooters.  I am also keenly interested in 2A issues and happenings and try to get involved where I can. 

I have always been interested in firearms.  The last 10 years or so have been in ARs as well as training, as well as competition.  I used to be really interested in long range and precision shooting, but that sort of got put on back burner.  Been wanting to mod the Rem 700 for a while. 

I shoot my handgun 2 to 4 times a week, mostly pest control on my property.  Actual target practice, once every two or three weeks.  Depends how long I am on Oahu where I do no shooting and I go there at least once a month.  99.5% of my shooting is with a handgun.  I rarely shoot my rifles.

definitely

Ditto
But if I did, I would not be a collector or have any safe queens, just a basic "3 gun package" which I would focus on. 
Anything more than a handful is wasted. 

Just my luck, my "weekend" days off happen to be the 2 days that the range is closed.
So maybe once per month if I claim a vacation day.

Depends on how recently I was on vacation. I’ve got the run of my parents farm to shoot out to 500 yards and plink 2 liters, 12 oz soda, fruit, aerosol cans, steel, or whatever.  It takes a couple months to get excited about shooting paper again. Then it’s every other Sunday to get out from underfoot of the cleaning ladies.

I used to go out twice a month, religiously. It was my Zen time. This was in addition to LIFE and HRA monthly events, which I don't consider "shooting," but would certainly count as "day spent at the range."

Now, I honestly have no idea how long ago my last trip was. I mean, I did just get back from two months of travelling, so that screws up any answer, but before that, I doubt I was going once a month.

What happened? No one thing. Burnout as an instructor. Over-attendance at club shoots such as HDF and HRA. Plus, I go thru cycles about my enthusiasms: rifle, shotgun, pistol. They pulled the steel targets from the rifle range as I was just getting into a rifle phase, which really took the wind out of my sails.

Elsewhere in my life, I've been getting back into independent filmmaking. Hawaii Filmmakers Collective is becoming more a part of my life. And there's only so much time for doing fun things

I did just kill my first pig, which may catalyze a change. And I did just bring home the family smokepole, which may initiate a new cycle. Hard to say.

I miss being at a bench, doing my own thing. I miss shooting with a buddy or two.

Define "shoot" 

Powder burners only, or airgun practice as well?

That certainly lowered my motivation level to shoot rifle and that funk affected me for a while.  But I hear you on going through cycles.  Right now, I'm back in the cycle of shooting more, or at least trying to shoot more often.

Yeah, airgun too!   

I would draw the line at airsoft or paintball as they aren't what I had in mind, but if folks do that, then right on too. 

I am hoping once my kids are of shooting age I will go more than a few times a year.

It would be nice if the state or city could have another range closer to ewa side so those guys don't have to trek two hours just to shoot.

Ive been busy with work for a while so try and make it out once a week.  I got a major pistol competition in a couple months so ill be shooting 3 or 4 times a week soon.

One, maybe two days per week if I am lucky, but not nearly as much as I used to since I find myself with much less time.
