How often do you shoot your airguns.

I try to every day. So that is how I voted. But sometimes thing come up so I miss a day occasionally.

I selected whenever possible. I may go a week without shooting them and then the next week I may shoot several days. In my own yard I can shoot out to about 18 yards easily(to 30 yards if I want to get a bit uncomfortable). But a 20 minute drive out to my grandparents old property I can shoot out past 100 yards. I mostly shoot steel. I love welding my own targets and making up new designs so I’m always testing how they work.

I was about to vote "every day" but realistically, it's a few times a week due to work. If it's not pest I'm shooting, I sometimes shoot a magazine at a known distance (70 yards and 100 yards) with different airguns to confirm my zero.

Whenever possible. My back yard is not the best spot to shoot so I usually have to go to the range which is a time commitment.

I'm thinking about shooting every day, but that wasn't the question. I actually get my gear out there at least a few times a week, so that was how I answered. I keep cans hanging around, and some steel targets at known distances on my home range to make it easier to get out and shoot whenever I get a minute. Just about every time my computer goes stupid, I will be out there firing off a few rounds while it is rebooting.

I make it a point to shoot mine everyday, a lot of days are just a couple shots at a spinner in my yard or out the window. My wife likes to gripe about me buying stuff I don’t use very often, so I rub it in her face with airguns (all in fun of course). Maybe miss 10 days a year, I live in a country boys playground though so it’s easy.

Since I live in the Midwest my shooting is based on the seasons. I try to shoot everyday but the weather doesn’t always cooperate. I have up to 50 yd range at home but mostly shoot at 30 yards. In the winter I can only shoot 10 yds indoors which leaves me wanting a LOT more.

I put a few times a week but that's only because I've been building a garage and getting chickens and dogs and stuff for the new ranch. Believe me I'll be shooting every day once I got my range up. I'll have 100 yards to work with. Should be awsome. I might go every other day if I get back into archery tho. I can't afford to shoot powder burners every day so airguns are how I stay sharp.

Everyday off my back patio, several setups out to 100 yards. Don’t shoot in the rain or high winds which is almost never here in the desert..

Almost everyday. And sometimes a whole tin in a day.
And then a few days go by without a shooting session.
But that’s almost sinful.

I’m in the Midwest and it seems we have far less mosquitoes this year. I have not been bothered at all with any insects while shooting and I’ve only seen a couple of them this year, which is really weird. Have any of you noticed any similar changes?

Voted whenever possible, though I shoot almost everyday. Today? I took only one shot, it's all I had time for.

I did not think about this until I read your post but you are correct. Now that I think about it I've seen no mosquitoes and few other flying bugs. No complaints! I also live in the mid west.I
I normally shoot my air guns a couple of times a week when the weather cooperates and I'm not busy with chores. I also allow for time to shoot powder burners.

I shoot a few times a week most of the time. I find it’s a perishable skill and if I go very long without shooting it takes some time to get back up to speed. If I want to go nuts I go out to where my parents still live, lots more room.
