    Usually average in excess of 50,000 rounds per year. That's a mix of R&D testing, LE demos, personal training, and personal casual shooting.
    I'm an FFL/gunsmith, not the holster company. We specialize in subsonic ammunition and wholesale rifles.

    Before I moved to NOVA from TEXAS I shoot my AR's every week. Some times 1000 rounds+ and some times as little as 50 rounds to keep my trigger finger and muscle memory in check.
    Now that I am up in the NOVA area I seam to have Lots less tome to shoot the AR's and only get out once a month now and most times only get to shoot 200-400 rounds throught my AR's but still try to go once a week to work the Sig 229 at least 100 rounds to keep my skills up.

    I'd guess about 1000 of 556/223 in '10. Probably another 1000 of 7.62x39, a little more of various handgun rounds, and countless .22lr.

    I'm signed up for 2 carbine classes in 2011, so my 5.56 rd count should go up this year.

    I am in the category of "paid to shoot" to an extent, but the ammo (other than a few specific cases) all comes out of my own pocket. I'd have to go dig up my logs to see what I did in 2010, but I think I rarely shot a personally owned AR at all this year.

    Totally unrelated, but I believe that if one is strictly working on non-mil defensive shooting skills the emphasis should be exponentially weighted in favor of handgun rounds over carbine. Of course, I also believe that personal fitness, good diet, and limited vices should even further exponentially outweigh ANY shooting or defensive training of any kind.

    The number of people that are completely oblivious to this just absolutely amazes me. Shooting and defensive training is good, but not at the cost of being so myopic that one neglects his own physical fitness.

    ive shot probably 1000-1500 rounds through my carbine this year. about 500 through my wifes just for familiarization more than anything else. range time is very lacking. i do shoot probably 2-3x as much out of my glocks each. been really getting back into skeet and trap shooting as well so ive put around 1K through my shotgun in the last few months. always fun to outshoot custom skeet guns with a 20" mossberg turkey gun.

    2010 was pretty average for me. I generally shoot about 200 rounds a month through one of the carbines, about the same through a couple of Glocks, 20-40 through the 308 precision gun. This year I took 2 carbine classes and 1 pistol class. So I figure about 4000 rounds of 5.56, 3000 .40, 500 308's. Some of this is department supplied.

    I shoot 300 rounds in 5.56 a month, sometimes more
    And at the indoor range I expend 200 rounds of 9mm every 2 weeks.
    When summer comes around 9mm jumps to about 200 a week with the steel plate shoot and the bowling pin shoot.

    Great topic, I recently started working at a AR parts manufacturing shop and my co workers talked me into shooting competition and taking formal training classes.

    My round count has gone from 1K a year for both pistol and rifle previously to over 3k a year for both for this year.

    1600-2300 as I work over seas on a rotation basis. I do try to make it to the range 2-4 times on my rotation home. Could be a little low but about normal.
