I'm not sure which catagory I fit in. I bought a 6721 in Mar 09, 6920 in Jun 09 and traded the 6721 in Jul 09 for a National Match rifle for the 15 year old daughter at that time. Since Mar 09 we have expended 9,500 rounds of .223/5.56 between the two rifles. 5000 rounds of it has been BH 77 gr match ammo.
With the CZ 452 Scout that we bought for the younger kids in 2010, we have gone through 1000 rounds of 22LR.
I received a pistol for Christmas, I took the oldest daughter to the range yesterday. So far we have expended 250 (op check 150 rds of that a couple of weeks ago) rounds through it.
The initial rifle was purchased as 'therapy' for me while our 8 year old was fighting cancer. He completed his 3 yr, 2 mn treatment on 09 Nov 10 so I am wondering what the round counts will look like for 2011. I'm thinking that they will go up.
I haven't attended any classes but my range time consists of static (100 yards), no rest, mulitiple positioning drills mixed with one eye and both eyes open. The daughter runs the standard NRA highpower shooting; 200, 300, and 600 yards. During the summer I open up to 600 yards.

This thread makes me feel ashamed. I haven't fired the AR's for probably over a year...
Been shooting glocks and the new 1911.
Within this past year, I put 2883 rounds through my primary carbine's latest upper. The rounds through the secondary carbine's upper are not available to me at the moment, however, that is less than 1000.
"Beware of the man with one gun." I don't think there's a thing wrong with owning one gun and completely knowing how to use it.
Last year I only shot about 2000 rifle rounds and maybe 4K total. This year I decided to take some classes and train a bunch more. I switched to Wolf to maximize my ammo budget. It works. This year I shot much more, about 12K total count. I shot almost 8K rifle, but through at least 3 different carbines. I just don't think I got as much from my training as the guy shooting only one gun.
The more guns I buy; the less I shoot each. So, I'm pedaling backwards - fewer guns - more ammo & training. I am getting rid of excess baggage and consolidating platforms. I'm selling off my half-assed sticks, ones I don't shoot real well or no longer fit my needs. I want to shrink down one dependable high-quality: AR carbine, precision rifle, 12ga. shotgun, 9mm pistol and rimfire rifle & pistol. That's probably still more guns than I can master with the time & money I've got. But it's a start.
Bottom line,,,,not nearly enough !!!I know for sure this last year I shot around 3K,,which isn't bad,,& that was through 3 different ARs. I know "Last" Winter I had reloaded 1500 rds,,,gone by late Spring, early Summer,,I had about 800 Wolf,,,gone,,it was mixed in with the above Reloads. I also shot a box of Re-manufactured Ammo,,,Main Cartridge Company,,box of 50,,I used it for the precision stage in the early Spring at a Carbine shoot ! I reloaded another 600 rds to get through a few more Carbine shoots and In general plinking & Sighting In New Optics during the Summer & Fall,,after that I did up anopther 500 rds of reloads,,,,,I think I have 150 left,,,I actually shot about 50/60 rds today !! Hmmmm,year isn't over "yet" and its supposed to be 45 degrees on Friday,,,,
& for Central NY,,thats gonna feel like Spring,,,,I will be at the range,,,LOL !!!!
I shoot many different guns, so my count this year with the ARs are 600 or so. Just enough to keep me familiar with them.

Firmly agree. The question is whether you want to be a specialist like you or a generalist like me. A specialist knows more and more about less and less until eventually he knows everything about nothing. A generalist knows less and less about more and more until eventually he knows nothing about everything.
