How many rounds a year do you shoot, not counting rimfire?

About 20,000 centerfire!

I shoot about 10-20k just targets with pistol, that’s why we need more spp. I have enough for about 1.5 years left at that rate. Deer shooting is 1 shot 1 kill, so got enough sr to last me.

1500-2000 a year right now. Been more in the past but I never keep count just guesstimating.

1,000 is a pretty low bar on a gun board.

Somewhere's between 20-25,000, but this is shotshell, pistol and rifle all together.

52 weeks in a year, I don't shoot every week and I don't shoot 100 rounds of center fire when I go to the range. I said 1000 but it is probably a little more than that

I know a guy that loves shooting, shoots 2-3 times what I do but he can't hit nothin. He likes to make noise at 7 yards cause that's the distance most shootings happen at. I can hit my 6" plate easily at 50 yards, and clays most of the time with a handgun. At the same, I can hit a shotgun hull offhand with my 22 rifle. It ain't the quantity, but rather the quality of the practice one does.

100 rounds a week, 3 of every 4 weeks, so...what? 3600 to 3900 a year? Unless I have more time and money? And I sure HOPE that I'm doing more than making noise!

1000 plus if you include shotgun, not much pistol, but lots of rifle starting early spring/summer. I like to go and warm up for hunting season practising postional shots that may have to be made, keeps the hand eye sharp.never counted but probably more than 150 round a week.

Only about a hundred this year and last. Shameful, I know. Haven't devoted much time to shooting since the boy came and my work shift changed. Hoping this coming year will see me back over 1000. I have CB work with the 30-06 to deal with.

Well last couple years due to health I’m down to 2500/3500 rds per year. I live in country and had deer camp 10mile from house. I shot every day unless weather kept me in. That was reloading day.
I have no idea how many rounds were shot up. I can tell you not near as many as some claim. I never shot revolvers DA. I was into bullseye. Rifles and handguns were super tuned on sand bags and then shot off hand. My dad was first in family to buy shotgun shells by the case. I was first one to by 22s by the case. We never did cf handgun and rifle by the case, we loaded them. The HV rifles with store bought jacketed bullets and pistols with cast.

5k in 45 acp, another 5 to 7 in 22. We're Canton and Camp Perry pistol shooters.

Shotgun, another 2k minimum, hp rifle, not so much.

Interesting poll. Before the 2020 "incident", I was shooting 15,000 9mm per year in weekly local competitions, about 2,000 45 acp, a few hundred 6.5 creed, and a few thousand 223/556. Then the ranges were shut down... ya, I'm in California. The outdoor ranges are open again, somewhat marginally, one shutdown completely.
I said, hell with it and retired in August. Luckily, I had components stockpiled, so I've been concentrating on casting and powder coating, which is new to me.
As for 22lr, I was doing ARA Benchrest competitions... the range where we did those comps is the one closed down... so there's that. I imagine by the time the "incident" is declared over, I'll have enough of every calibur to never have to worry about empty store shelves again.
Bought an old Lyman 45 on Ebay the other day and probably spend some time restoring it. I'll use it on 40, 10mm and 45acp, just for something to learn.
Be nice if 12 gauge hulls ever become available again... just sayin'.

Used to shoot 30 K to35 K yearly, but last 5 or 6 years down to 1500 to 2000 a year. Eye site is getting poorer by the year.

What gets shot the most is the 5.56/223. Then hand guns, rifle I would have to say 500. I think that would be to I shoot a lot of bow.

Zero under the current conditions. I won't shoot what I can't replace.

Around 500 rounds per year.

Fluctuates based on work demand but used to consistently hit 15-20k and as high as 30k but presently in the 5-7k range and this year will be lucky to break 3k. All work related, have plenty of components, just need time.

400 a week x 50 weeks is 20,000

something in that arena

I put down 500. A lot less than last year, because of Covid and other health issues.

Last year was slow probably just under 1000 rounds fired this years looking good should be 4000 to 5000

I am surprised 25% shoot less than 1000 rounds a year.

At least 10k a year, maybe 15k on a busy year
