Hang time

[wbraswell]

I'm kind of like Stainless, I have a couple that I've had a long time, that I haven't gotten to yet. I've been shooting, and have ammo, I've just taken other guns.
It is seldom that any gun I buy now, is what I consider a tool. Now, they're my play-purties.

My average would be skewed by the Mossberg 500 I bought in 1983 and didn't fire till 2011. Every other firearm would have been fired within days of purchase if not immediately on taking possession.

Depends on when I buy the gun. If it's cold weather I wait till it warms up. I'm getting too old to go out and get cold just to shoot a new gun. Warm weather? Generally no more than a week.

When I didn't....

When I didn't have a lot of responsibilities I'd try to make the range the coming weekend. Now new guns and shooting in general is farther down the list of 'Things I need to do'.

Usually as soon as i get home clean it and take it to the range. The longest ive gone after purchase was a week.

I usually shoot it out the window, on the ride home!!!!

Sorry could not resist....

Same here, but not because I want to, it's because I have to

I have one that I inherited after my father passed away several years ago that I haven't shot and probably never will.

As for guns I have purchased myself, I have three that I haven't had to the range yet. All three are 22 magnums, a Henry pump rifle, a PMR-30, and a Heritage Rough Rider 9 shot revolver. Have had the revolver the longest, the Henry is the most recent purchase.

I've got milsurps I've never fired. I need to rejoin the shooting club I was in before my wife got sick. The county has a new range but it only goes to 200 yards. I cannot look a full-bore cartridge in the eye then put it in a rifle for that pitiful distance. Sure, I sight in at under 200 yards, but that's just to get me close left/right and to check the basic function. After that I like to shoot.

Makes sense I often wondered who was shooting at those road side targets, you know, the ones disguised to look like street signs.

Here is a true story/statement:::

I am over 60 years old. I started hunting very young and started driving a car in the summer after the 9th grade. I started shooting NRA Handgun Bullseye Competition about the same time. I have had some sort of GUN in my car since then...

The Truth is, I have NEVER, EVER, SHOT ANY ROAD/STREET/STOP/ SIGN, with a gun in my life. Never, ever...

Never have, Never will...

I was a Cub Scout, and a Boy Scout. I never even considered shooting a road sign....
