    I go to Wilber-Wright, 40 min drive. I like the morning get there at 8-9am stay to 11am. At least 2hrs, more if I'm shooting the Mosins:yesway: (50yds) and or the shotguns. Like ATF, my shoulder dictates how long I shoot the long guns.:laugh:Then it's time for lunch at the New Castle KFC Buffet after being on a diet all week.:rockwoot:

    I thought I was the only one that went shooting at Wilber-Wright and then hit the KFC buffet. Target practice makes me hungry.

    I don't spend a lot of time at any range because I load up all my magazines at home before heading out. I just don't like wasting time at the range loading, when I could do it at home.

    About 45 minutes to an hour, if I'm by myself, at my local (5 min. drive) range. 2-3 hours if at Atterbury (1 hour drive). One gun, usually, at the local range (Don't like to do lots of cleaning when I get back. Bring all three centerfire rifles to Atterbury, which is the only reason I go there.

    The range is usually my place so it just depends on if I'm by myself or with several others and what I'm trying to accomplish with that session. Could be 1/2 hr, could be 4 hrs.

    It's not at all uncommon for us to spend 3-4 hours on the range. We make a day of it, and aren't in a rush.

    Depends on the number of firearms, amount of ammunition and purpose of day. Sighting in a new scope/rifle tends to take more time than just taking the step son and son-in-law out to shoot for the day. Spent about 2 hours at Roush last Sunday afternoon.

    It depends on what I am there for. I went yesterday for only about an hour. All I was there for was to make sure my laser on my gun was still sighted in after dropping it. And then I put a few tracers through my M1 Carbine just because it was starting to get dark.
