Most days depending of how busy life is or the weather. Even if it's raining I can shoot from under a covered area but sometimes it's just not comfortable. On average for this time of year I would estimate I shoot 5/7 days.

How often do you shoot your air gun?
- Thread starter ToddGeddes63
- Start date
Usually starting at 4am with a quiet Artemis PP700 S-A .177 then shooting the Taipan Vet Long .25 little after sunrise when I can really see the target without a flashlight then in the afternoon I get out my BSA R10 SE .22.
I do take breaks to weld and fabricate for customers and friends.

When ever we want! We are blessed to live on almost 4 acres, so plenty of space to shoot. In addition, we have two shops, one 40x40, the other is 24x48. So indoor shooting is readily available as well. To top it off, the bay doors of both shops are facing each other, with about 50 or 60 feet in between. On windy days we are are in one shop or the other, and on hot, sunny days we can sit in one shop and shoot clear over into the other shop.
Having written all that, I only shoot a few times a week due to work and keeping up the farm (fruit & nut orchards, blackberries, and grape vines). You would think we would have plenty of squirrels to shoot, but I have an obsessed Border Collie/Blue Heeler mix who absolutely hates them. He patrols the orchard and chases or kills every squirrel he sees. There are occasionally bigger animals, but I leave them alone unless they are being destructive. We have seen plenty of deer, a couple of mountain lions, a bear once, a frequent fox visitor, and the wise guys of them all, coyotes. Oh, and skunks, which are avoided as best we are able. Oddly enough, with all that activity are chicken flock has never been molested!

Every day for at least 15 minutes indoors, sometimes 30, unless the weather is horrible.....that's when the ducks and geese fly!

Most evenings after work and dinner in my basement. Weekends as often as possible after the chores, outside.

Just got email from work that we will shift to 100% work from home for as far as we can see. Guess instead of almost everyday I’ll be shooting everyday! I really need a bigger back yard.

I'm trying to pawn off all my empty pellet tins to the guys on the PB forum I belong to.
Just the empties I had stashed around the shop added up to 34.500 pellets and that was just what was still around.
Dude asked me "How do you shoot 34.000 pellets?" My reply "One at a time."

Wow! I'm kinda surprised by how many people shoot daily, lol no wonder there is a waiting list for pellets! That's awesome, you all are enjoying this sport, it just makes me smile every time I get to shoot.

Just about every day, sometimes I go bananas on the weekends so I average about 500 rounds a week...

Every chance I get. I've been working remote since late March so my airgun is no more than 5 feet away at the ready when I need a screen break. I think I've been averaging about 200 shots a day lately.
