How Many Rounds do you Shoot a Week?

As I type this, I'm looking out the patio door at 6" of fresh snow with the thermometer reading 19 degrees. My total this week will be zero. I'll probably continue to shoot that much until sometime in March or April. If I really get jonesin' for the smell of burnt powder, I'll take the Garand and some mil-surp ammo out and not worry about retrieving the brass. A hot .30-06 case can easily melt through a foot of fresh, fluffy snow before it stops.

During the winter I have to be content to dry fire, maintain and reload. The 1974 vintage RCBS Rockchucker is plenty fast when you have 9 months of winter and three months when the skiing isn't very good.
 
My Walther PPQ is the most accurate gun I shoot with. Even outperforms my Glock 34 with all the match grade goodies. I am not that great of a shot past 35feet and seems 75ft is tough. Bench rest I guess at 75ft ok but free hand only combat accuracy .I can hit an 8x10 paper at that distance. The only gun I ever got good groups was a 1911.

Then that is where you should be shooting, 50-75ft. Practice what you don't do well, only way to get better. Practicing what you do well any me you feel better, but it's not going to improve your shooting skill.
