With 9mm going for $.70-.$.84/round in bulk (250-500), if you can find it, getting too damn expensive to shoot. Used to be $.17 or less.

Haven’t been to the gun range since last fall. I have picked up archery and been to archery ranges though.
I think I’m enjoying it more. There’s less people so I don’t have to wait for stalls or tables.

I have enough reloading components that I haven't had to buy factory ammo in a while. The weather however has put a damper on the competitions the last two months.

I'm not wasting ammo at this point.

Been getting factory 9mm on fairly regular basis for around .55/round. Still high but not enough to keep me from the range

Been a few times but I reload and have components.

Only thing I'm low on is 9mm brass and large pistol primers.

Ditto on the weather. Haven't been in several months due to weather and I mostly take an afternoon off during the week(range isn't as crowded). Weekend are too crowded for me.

I do. I'm still shooting out of my stock from The Before. I was putting a couple hundred rounds downrange each week, so I buy in bulk and I had a pretty good stock laid in. Shooting is a perishable skill, so I haven't reduced how often I go. I do try to focus on drills that are ammo efficient when I practice with my handgun and I bring my .22LR about twice as often as my other rifles when I go for rifle practice. I'd say I average my expensive calibers about once a month and only bring a box or two with me. Just enough to put 5-10 3 round groups on target.

We've been a few times this year.

Working on some new sights. But trying to be efficient as possible in sighting in.

We usually shoot 2 or 3 different larger rifles at about 10 rounds ea. and then switch to .22 or black powder.

Black powder supplies are still available and reasonable.

Lots of dry fire and .22LR from my M&P15-22 that is set up similar to my main AR and my M&P22.

I wouldn't mind buying a Glock 44 right now, just so I can get live rounds from it instead of my G19.

I wish. I need some time behind my new rifle, but I can't find any 300 win mag ammo to use for range time.

I go at least once/week, and try to go twice/week. Each session is 150-200 rounds weak-hand-only (shoulder surgery a few months ago - still not able to carry on strong side)
