Is Anyone In Your Area Currently Shooting At All?

I live in a subdivision 35 miles out of a major metropolitan area where the smallest acreage is 5 acres and up to 20 acres. Many of our back fences face a large 10,000 acre ranch so a lot of us have a practice area on our own property and just about all the families here are pro-protection. On any given weekend or holiday practicing goes on non stop. Due to the recent happenings in Conn. and the panic buying of supplies I have not heard one single shot fired in over 8 days. Has anyone been to a shooting range this last week and was anyone there? Are we being too quiet at this point?
 
I plan on shooting this weekend. It will probably be lighter than usual to conserve ammo. I am not an ammo hoarder so I got caught with my pants down again.
 
The ranges around my area are just as busy as ever. Was doing some shopping the other day and there was over an hour wait time for a shooting lane.

Im lucky enough to have access to private land and plenty of ammo. My training won't suffer.
 
With all them people buying guns, I'm sure they can't wait to shoot them. It's like looking at your new toy in a locked glass box and you can't touch it.

Also with the increase in CCW permits due to all these mass shootings, I'm sure the range would be pack as well.
 
Was at an indoor range yesterday and it was packed. One family - man, woman, and two boys about 7 and 11 - came in and they were all shooting. The parents were guiding the young men as they shot at the targets with .22 semi autos. They looked to be having a good, and safe, time.
 
The only inhibiting factor here, has been the weather. Too cold and too much snow for comfort. We'll be getting back out there within the week.
 
Pretty cold and snowy this weekend, so I didn't go... the outdoor range gets rather quiet this time of year, only a few of us tough enough to go in the winter
 
Three inches of snow on the ground, . . . 5 to 8 mph wind, . . . something in the middle 30's for temp.

Range down the road from me was litterally "booming" all afternoon.

I heard on guy/gal do a full 30 round mag, . . . sounded like .223, . . . and it was less than 10 seconds.

Yep, . . . they're still shooting in Ohio.

May God bless,

Personally I haven't been shooting due to ammo shortage and being busy.

But my neighbor a few houses down has shot just about every day for the past few days.
 
I am in a pretty rural area so no lack of outdoor public ranges, we shoot almost every weekend. have slowed down a little on the ak ammo abuse, but the 22's 45's and nines still get plenty of use
 
I live about a mile from the Natl Forest out here in Colorado.....I just got back from shooting about 280 rounds today, took me just over an hour.

35 rounds of 9mm, Ruger SR9-C
30 rounds of SKS 7.62x39
15 rounds of 22 magnum, Marlin bolt action
200 rounds of 22 LR, Ruger 10/22 and a 22/45

It was fun!:D

We got a snowstorm moving in here tonight, so today was my window.

I reload 9mm, .223, .308 and 40S&W, so I can keep my centerfires well fed.:D
 
Shot with friends here at my home yesterday, and introduced one female to her two new handguns and some tactics. 50 rounds of 45 150 rds of 380 200 rds of 9mm. Taurus 45, two ruger 380s two ruger sr9c s. Also fired off 17 rounds of 22 lr so could put in fresh rounds.

Plan on shooting again Saturday with the same group. Gotta load up on some more 45 ammo though LOL.
