My wife and I shoot .22 in NRA bullseye pistol matches and shoot a lot in practice for those matches. We also shoot a .22 rifle for practice all year long in order to be ready for that one shot during big game hunting season. We hunt forest grouse and rabbits a lot during fall with our .22 pistols and rifles.
I buy .22 ammo like people here that buy more lead than they need when they see a good price. My wife and I have never had to ration our .22 shooting.
As soon as I finish posting this, I'm headed to the range with 100 rounds of .22 and my Colt woodsman to practice and have fun.

Plinking and target shooting, pest control and some hunting. Im well stocked with R.F ammo. Learned from past shortages. The other day the wife and I ran a 325 count brick of fed 22's at the gun club. We had a fun day out.

Mine is for shooting IHMSA silhouette. 99% of my rimfire shooting is that. When I go plinking I limit myself to 50-100 rounds. I've bought plinking ammo at a decent price. Target ammo that will hit the silhouette targets I've been gathering for the last two years.
-
I shoot more practice than match shoot but I practice to match shoot.
-
Mostly steel gongs I have set up. Occasionally a bouncing target but I have a problem with 2 labs thinking it's game on.
Occasionally I get the urge to punch paper.
-
99.9 percent of all my 22RF usage is between handgun silhouette and squirrel hunting, heavily leaning toward silhouette.
-
22s are mainly for the kids to shoot. I'll sometimes shoot them just to make sure they are sighted in, or whatnot.

#1. Pure FUN!
#2. Business as a WCO, used with an outback suppressor
-
In addition to shooting for pleasure, I also accumulate them. Another one just had to follow me home today.

When I was young I wouldn’t dare waste any ammo.(or couldn’t afford to)
Now I just plink away and shoot groups saying things like I woulda done alright today.
Or ghee the rabbits must have been bigger and stood out more.
Maybe my long paces were a lot shorter than I thought.
Or my eyes aren’t clearly calibrated as they were when I was a kid and my stance and nerves was steadier.

Pigs don’t care for my .22’s. Varmints likewise.
-
Mostly casual target shooting and Rimfire Steel Challenge Matches for the fun of competition. I get my semi auto and revolver once or twice a year.
Ammo is expensive up here now. Gone are the days of claiming .22lr was cheap to shoot. I can reload my cast 9MM and 38spl cheaper than what .22lr ammo costs these days. Most of my plinking now takes place with a GP-100 and an 1858 Remington repo BP in 44.

Shooting paper for accuracy, and plinking.

ventilating soda cans, scrambling eggs off golf tees, making 12 gauge spinners, very usefull for tearing up paper targets and other annoying targets of oppourtunity.

Back when I was a kid, shooting squirrels and rabbits like many others. Now punching paper with my grandson.

Plinking at empty shot shells lying around in rock pits and landings.
