Three silhouette matches most months, January through October. Plus hunting season. So over 1000.
2020 - 9939 rounds. 2021-4211rounds so far.

To,
Two,
Too few.
A year ago I was going through 500 / week so 25,000 / year.
Now < 5,000 / year. At this rate I have primers to last until 2025
I used up over 42 pounds of powder last year not counting my shotguns.
I have no idea how many rounds that is, would have to add up my log book.

Ammo and primer famine that has been more or less ongoing since 2020 has curbed my pistol shooting to around 2k per year.
The poll is too limiting. There should have been a box to check that said "not enough".
I keep four Dillon 1050s, two rl1000s, two Stars and some 550s well fed, used one or more everyday. Soo, I guess I'd fall in the 1000 or more category.... Smith , Steyr and Lewis must be fed....
I'm in the "more than 1000 club". Back in the day I shot HighPower and M1 Garand matches; those were 133 rounds a day. (EDIT: should be 123 rounds) The club I belonged to, still do as life member, was open year around and only a few miles from our home which was right on the edge of town.
Now I don't shoot matches and the range I belong to is closed to the public due to weather about half the year. I still send a lot of rounds down range. .22s, BP, Service Rifles, Hunting Rifles, handguns big and small, they all want me to take them to the range when I walk past the gun safe. I have to shift around what to shoot depending on what components I can find to replace what I shoot.
about 36000 pellets ( about 100 pellets a day average ) and more centerfire pistol and rifle.
15 k+ a year . USPSA, GSSF,and practice. Trying to start Speed Steel.
The "foundation" of my shooting requires 2000 SPP's per year for 38/357/9mm. Then add to that occasional 30-30, 44 mag, 223, 45 acp, 22 rf (another 2000 easy).
Depends on how many club events I shoot in. Those will take 50-70 rounds/week.
Yesterday I fired my 6.8 ten times, my 30-06 7 times, and my 44-40 15 times.
I shoot something most days of the year, weather permitting.
Country life is great.

I've used about 35,000 primers in the past three years for loading about twenty or more different cartridges, but about 10% of those primers are in primed rifle and handgun brass that have yet to be fired. I'm not much of a bookkeeper, but based on my crude accounting method, I would guess I fire about 10,000 rounds a year. It would probably take a strange person indeed to come up with truly accurate numbers on any of this.
I average between 12,000 and 14,000 rounds per year.
The wife and I would shoot 10-12 thousand a year before this on going primer situation. I am down to about 50,000 primers now and have cut back to about 50 a week.
I would not call it strange I would call it good record keeping. :)

Close to 2500 9mm, 4-5 hundred misc. rifle, new 10mm only has a couple hundred thru it
Depending on the availability of components, I try to shoot 200 rounds a month to careful skills practice, and probably 50 - 60% that much MORE in competition. So that's ~3600 - ~3840 rds./year.
THIS year, I have found it more difficult to cover distances necessary to participate in competition as widely as in the past. QUITE near the middle of 2023, this situation will change. Until that time, I plan to max-out my available ammunition stocks, as I wait.
Last day of the year. 2022- 9242 rounds In serious practice or load development.

Shoot about 1500 pistol all sizes mostly cast
2500 rifle about half cast
I do not shoot as much, with my grandbabies old enough to shoot with me
Usually 2500 to 5000 through Gatling guns, 3000 to 5000 through the Maxims and Browning 1917, 3000 plus through sub guns. Various pistols, lever guns, and old rifles about another 2500. I keep 4 Dillons and 3-CH'S plus a Hornady PRO 7 busy! Sometimes I feel like I have spent a week in Vegas working the Slot machines!!!!
I shoot about 100 rounds every other week so around 2600 a year.
Less than I should, but enough to keep the edge fresh enough, I think somewhere around 2500 a year or more...I dunno, might have to start counting.
10 years ago an easy 25k a year. today maybe 1k. seems i spend more time recovering from operations then days im capable of shooting. just had surgery #5 for this year
Maybe a 1000 Bpcr loads and 1000 pistol and lever gun loads in a year
Not including rimfire
2020 - 5654 rounds
2021 - 4467 rounds
2022 - 8688 rounds
2023 - 4952 rounds so far
I guess I shoot a lot. I didn't realize how much until I was asked. Compared to others I do shoot a lot.
Except for 22LR I handload everything I shoot. I keep a spreadsheet of all my handloads so that's how I have the specific numbers.
A couple of hundred rounds per week on average, mostly pistol and pcc.
Would be more, but one shot at a time of .45-70 from a Sharps replica limits me. Rounds per year that is, not tonnage of projectiles launched.
I can't count that high.
I'm shooting much more rimfire now, 90-150 a week, but my centerfire shooting is way down, last year I barely hit 2,000. 90 dollar primers are reducing my shooting.
Hard to say as I don't keep any kind of count. I used to keep all my shotshell primer boxes until I got to about 24,000 and finally decided that it wasn't worth having such a pile of empty boxes taking up space so threw them in the trash and have had no idea of count ever since. I got to the point that I hardly shot due to work and money being short. Then I retired a year ago and all of a sudden, I have infinite time and more money than before to shoot. I'm still in the process of finding out what is a normal amount of shooting for retirement. I know I've shot several thousand rounds last year. That's a mix of all sorts of handgun and rifle. Shot several thousand rimfire too.
Not as much as I use to since moving to a much more populated area. Gun club is about 30 miles away but then you're limited on what kind of practice you can do.
I'm probably at around 2500 but I suspect this year will be more as my employment situation has changed and I'll be able to scoot to the range midday and midweek instead of getting home from work throwing a pile of gear, targets, ammo & guns in the vehicle driving 30 miles and hoping the plinking range is open (you can shoot long guns and handguns at the plinking range).
Now to re-inventory my primers :)
This poll needed a lot more categories over 1000. I do that every month. I've done that in a couple of minutes even.
I shoot a LOT of cap&ball revolvers because I can make everything they use. I have found reasonable sources for small pistol primers and even 209's, but my large primer stuff is mostly not being used.
I'm sure there is a reason large primers cost three times as much as small ones - but the reason behind it doesn't really matter I suppose.
If I get over to the east side to shoot sage rats, I will easily shoot over 1000.
If just shooting for fun, insert plinking here, it will be more like 500.
