how often do you shoot your handguns, and how do you pratice bench,field postion,standing etc. i sight my guns in then pratice differnet postions i may run into when hunting. i shoot a least a couple times a month.

I shoot every week, sometimes everyday...mostly from the porch at steel plates placed 50yds away w/ iron sighted revolvers and cast bullets. I also shoot my .22LR specialty pistols at home from field positions. I mostly practice offhand...I think that once this position is well refined, any other position is fairly easy.

The bigger stuff goes to the club range for longer range shooting...mostly from the bench but this translates well to prone shooting which is how the LR rings are mainly used in the field.

The other position I practice a lot is sitting and shooting from a bipod (gun mounted) or shooting sticks.

I used to shoot two to four times a month but due to the weather conditions where I now live and my health issues the last couple years I've only been getting out once a month if I'm lucky.

My shooting is relegated to only 1-2x/month due to work and school, but I shoot from 25 - 200yd all positions (mostly bench) and from my mono-pod. I want to get a nice 22lr hunting revolver. My Ruger single six is not as accurate as my semi autos and I can't hunt with them. I'm disappointed in the Ruger mainly because I bought it for 22 mag and I havent found an accurate brand of ammo for it yet.

The first 5 months of the year I shoot once a week in winter league. About the end of league the charlies start to come out and if I'm lucky I can hunt them 2-3 times a week.

Winter league has two parts, paper targets from the bench, usually 20 rounds total and then steel plates from the standing unsupported position. Good fun and great practice.

Throughout the summer I shoot 2-4 times a month. In the winter I don't shoot much since the backroads are snowed in.

Maybe it's the shooter!! DOH!!

as much as possible,2 times a month until 3 months before the season then 50 rounds a week,minimum.That was last years stats,and this years started the same.

Living in an urban area ,with the closet outdoor range an even
50 miles from my door, I cannot shoot as much as I would like to.
There was an indoor range in Hoboken,NJ that would help keep my abilities on top but that closed when the owner was made an offer he could not refuse.Hopefully in a few years I will retire and move to Penn. where I will try to find a place that I can shoot in my own backyard.

Usually shoot alomost every weekend about 9 months out of the year. Have an informal range with 50 swinging metal targets from 50 yds to 200 yds set up at our 2nd place (100 miles from here.) We have three bench rests and various improvised "field rests."

I should shoot more offhand, but prefer trying the tiny targets from a rest. I prefer to shoot revolvers and do not spend a lot of time with the single-shots except sighting in and working on loads. I seldom shoot more than 50 rounds at a setting.

I shoot 3-4 times a week when I am not deployed. The range is about 5 minutes from my house.

I try to shoot at least once a month,but lately I have not been able to. I am going to get a reloading kit when I get my tax return money,so there will be more shooting to come. When I do shoot I shoot mostly offhand and a little from shooting sticks. Right now I shoot at 50 yards outdoors and 20 yards at the indoor range. I have iron sights for right now but I plan on putting a scope on,and moving back to about 75 yards.

weather and time permiting 1 to 3 times per week.

I shoot two to three times a month. I get to the range early before my IHMSA competitions and practice with my hunting pistols. I get 90 shots in competition (two 40 rounds courses of fire + 5 sight in rounds each)plus 40-50 rounds during my "play" time using field and bench positions.

Due to my body being medically kaput, I only get out a couple of times a month. I hope that will get better as times go on.
I used to practice once and twice a week before I got injured.
