    So guys tell me how often do you goto the rifle/handgun range and for how long. And for the hell of it how much does a trip cost you!
    Me its a rifle range for now till i get my revolver.

    And I spend about 3-4 hours out there if i am alone and 5-6 if i bring someone and normal cost with ammo food and water is about 150 every time i go out. I try and hit the range 2-3 times a month.

    I head about once a month. It's a free range, the nicest one around. I go there for long gun shooting or even trap, they also have handgun ranges. If I feel like shooting the handguns, I'll either head to my inlaws or parents house. Both have land that we can shoot on. I reload for my 40, which we shoot the most, so cost's don't hurt that much. We're ususally at the range for about 2-4hrs depending on if we shoot trap or not.
    Half of the lives they tell about me aren't true.

    I get to the range about once a month. More when I can. It costs $100.00 to join, then $50.00 yearly. I spend as much time as I can. Usually between 2 and 5 hours, depending on what I'm doing. Before the baby got here you'd find me there twice a week, but diapers and brightly-colored plastic things are eating into my reloading dollars pretty heavily. I figure I probably use a coupla bucks in gas and twenty in powder, primers and bullets.

    [8D]--I go twice a month-

    --My club costs $50 a year and $5 for a shooting day and they supply standard targets--

    --I bring my own targets for reload/powder/bullet testing and use theirs for my pistol shooting--

    --I don't use their bar even after shooting because there's too much Bay area freeway and bridges between me and them.--

    Average about once a week for 1-2 hours each trip. I am really lucky because the range is located between my house and my office so it is really easy to stop off when I want to.

    The range only cost 35.00 a year for membership.

    I'm jealous - it costs me $14.00 to shoot, plus about $30.00 just in gas. I used to compete and also practice a lot more, but now I'm down to about once a month and maybe 100-150 rounds at a time.

    My .45 reloads cost me ~$7.00/100, lately I've been running the .22s and the Mini with store-bought ammo. Approx. average per trip: $65-75.

    The club I go to the most has a neat pro-buy-guns policy where if you bring in a receipt from a firearm purchased in '05 or '06, they'll let you shoot for free. I mentioned that to a dealer and he said "So, you'll be buying more guns now?"
    No, but I was thinking about buying a receipt book.[:D]
