[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2604333, member: 116181"] I'm probably getting pretty close to 3k a year, and once I get my two new rifles set up might jump up to hit 5k a year. I don't have a range at my house, but I drive past my range going to and from work every day. I'm also a member at multiple clubs within an hour where I can shoot everything from 100 yard to 1 mile steel. I don't have year-round hunting access anywhere nearly that close so I shoot more on the range than the field these days, and it's not hard to send 100 rounds a session, sometimes multiple times in a week. This is a big part of why I'm shooting smaller calibers and fewer big boomers. 223 AI, 243 AI, 22LR, looking into 204 cal and a true benchrest-setup 6BRA/30BR also. Going to squeeze all the benefits I can out of what I have access to. Hoarding is a mental health problem where you continually obtain and refuse to dispose of items that to them are useless and worthless. That describes both actual utility, the quantity, and the number of iterations, all in their own personal context. A hoarder is someone who buys so many things that they're: [LIST=1] [*]unable to use all of them while [*]also being unwilling to use any of them, and [*]causing damage in other parts of their life through the buying/spending on more items they can't and won't use. [/LIST] If you aren't doing that, you aren't a hoarder. I've known a real guns and ammo hoarder. He would spend every last dime chasing ammo and crappy ARs, then would pack them away and refuse to shoot anything because he was so scared he could never get more. Never had enough. Starting paying money to store the crap he was wasting money on. He didn't enjoy any of it, he was so scared of things being banned he never actually USED any of what he was buying, living in a cycle of fear and was using a hoard as his comfort blanket. Finally stopped buying, but still has it all and still never shoots any of it. Which is probably a good thing, I imagine he'll be super ****ed when he realizes that the cheap rifles, the cheap ammo, and being a guy who never shoots will combine to actually shoot very poorly. Not like the Jack Carr-esque mental image he maintains. [/QUOTE]
