We always had the mentality to shoot less and more often. I shoot at least once or twice every single week and have for decades. I know guys who shoot every day or every other day. It might only be a magazine or two but multiple times every single week like clockwork.
I am a reloader and bullet caster with over 30 years experience. I've been a shooter and into guns and knives for over 40 years. I always do my shooting in even 100s because that is what the plastic MTM ammo boxes I use hold. I won't dirty a firearm for less than 100 - 200 rounds and typically shoot 200 - 300 rounds per shooting session. Those targets are terrible for only 5 - 7 yards. We aren't even allowed to shoot that close at my range.....25+ feet. I do most of my shooting with handguns from 10+ yards. More often than not at 15 - 25 yards. If you can't put multiple bullets through the same hole shot after shot at less than 21 feet you probably aren't going to live to tell about a gun fight. When you can put multiple bullets through the same hole at 10+ yards you won't have anything to worry about doing what needs to be done when it happens. I also agree the amount of rounds you fire in a single shooting session have little to nothing to do with how accomplished you are. You keep hearing about those tactitard carbine classes where they measure everything on 1,500- 3,000+ rounds. That is obscene to have to shoot that much in one day or a weekend course. You are just blowing through ammo to make yourself out to be something you are not. If it isn't completely over in the first few rounds fired you probably already lost. Most Military and Law Enforcement training I have done is around 300 rounds per session. That seems to be about right for keeping and honing your skills vs just blowing through and wasting ammo.
"If you can't put multiple bullets through the same hole shot after shot at less than 21 feet, you probably aren't going to live to tell about a gun fight." Really?
I think it is scary people with red dot optics and fullsize handguns can't hit anything at that distance when any accomplished shooter can do it with micro compact semi-auto pistols and snubnose revolvers. I don't think my nerves could take these people doing rapid fire mag dumps at 5 - 7 feet and having 12" groups. That person is going to miss their intended target out in public and hit some innocent bystander or send stray rounds loose into buildings and vehicles.
Thanks for lending a helping hand to a beginner!
