| One just one. Health issues kept me away from the range. I had a rare infection that took a year to diagnose and treat. The prior year the wife and I went to the range almost every week. Ammo was not an issue and I belong to two clubs with range facilities. |

| I don't know. But fewer times than any year since I got my drivers license and was dependent on someone else to take me. lol
That said, I probably went a lot more than anyone else in this thread.
How we shoot changes. Decades ago when I was what I considered a serious pistol shooter, maybe I'd only go twice a month. But probably shoot near 1k rounds each month (all slow aimed precision type stuff). In recent years I might go 2-3 times a week, but only shoot a couple mags/cylinders worth each trip. Then again I also go to the range a lot and don't shoot. |

His Royal Hiney
| I just did two as part of a class. I need to clean two guns to take them out then calibrate point of aim vs point of impact at various distances so I can start carrying them. Come March when it stops snowing, I plan to sign up for basic AR classes. then more training. I'm also waiting for when a labradar becomes available. I want to document initial velocities from my guns with various ammo just for my intellectual curiosity and confirming zeroing distances for maximum point blank range.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

| I have my own range and shot maybe 5 times last year. Including the 3 times this month. I may shoot more this year. Maybe. He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. |

Partial dichotomy
| Three times; one IDPA match, sighting in a new scope on a 223 bolt rifle and testing a pistol barrel on an AR. That was it. Hope to shoot many IDPA matches this year.

| I shot ZERO last year due to the WuFlu and the mask requirements etc. I hope to get back to shooting in 2022, as I usually shoot 1-2/week. |

Frangas non Flectes
| Not once. I didn't have a ton of ammo to begin with and couldn't afford to replace it. Added very little, and what I did wasn't in service calibers. I have a standing invitation to go shoot with one of the local SWAT guys at their range. Just waiting for a time when he's not swamped and asks me to come out. Being silly season, it may be a bit. I did do a fair bit of dry fire practice this year. Also looking at going ahead and getting an airsoft Glock for draw from concealment and fire drills in the basement. Hell with it.

Step by step walk the thousand mile road
| 1. Not enough. 2. Plan to shoot at least once a week for 2022.

Man of few words
| I got to the range about 6 - 8 times last year. It's a lot more fun now taking my 16 year old with me. His favorite gun is my Remington 870 Marine Magnum. It's a pretty gun, loud and cheap to shoot.
I will try and take my son at least 1X per month this year if possible. One of the things that will deter that is if I can replenish the ammo I shoot for a decent price. I still haven't paid Covid prices for any ammo so that may have an impact on how much we can go in 2022. |

| Zero But I may just make a point of burning some powder this year. |

| For the bulk of the year I had a part time job at an indoor range, which meant I rarely got a chance to actually shoot, if you don't count shooting a customer's gun to show that it isn't really malfunctioning and that the sights aren't really off and that they just suck. I was also teaching in several different academies, so all my time was spent coaching.
I did have to qualify a couple times, once for LEOSA and once for an agency I keep a commission at.
I've been dry firing far more than actually launching bullets. I have a RDS I need to sight in and want to find a RDS focused class to attend. We also bought a new place with enough land I'm hoping to find a place where I can put in a small range. |
