I see a few "classes" of shooters, each with their own ammunition consumption rates.
I didn't include them in the list because I usually hear, "My husband bought me the .38 in 1978 but I've never shot the thing. It scares me."Pretty well said.
Forgot about the “old lady” or “first time impulse buyer after watching the news”….
They buy that airweight 38 special or Glock 19. Tuck it deep in the back of their nightstand or closet and never touch it again.
Half of these folks remembered to buy a box of ammo to go along with it. Of the folks who bought ammo, half of THEM never even open da box of bullets.
Not hating, just seen it with my own eyes.
This “class” of shooters came to mind bc you didn’t mention any gun owners who consume ZERO ammo…I didn't include them in the list because I usually hear, "My husband bought me the .38 in 1978 but I've never shot the thing. It scares me."
LOL.

I am a.) I want to be d.) except no rolling on the ground.I see a few "classes" of shooters, each with their own ammunition consumption rates.
a.) The social shooter - goes to the range with a family member or friend, shoots the shyte more than guns, smokes and jokes, maybe spends 30 rounds across 3-4 guns in a two hour session, then off to the Huddle House for a hamburger and fries.
b.) The handloader - goes out to test hand loads once a week or so, shoots about 200 rounds, 5 rounds at a time, uses a chronograph to record data in a book.
c.) The novice - Wants to shoot more and is learning about guns and shooting. Maybe shoots 100 - 200 rounds they bought that morning at Bass Pro or Academy.
d.) The tactifool shooter - Burns through 4 value packs of .223 shooting at IPSC silhouettes at 15 - 30 yards with several mag changes between calling the range "hot" or "cold" to check targets to see his "shot clusters." May be seen to roll around on the ground or even use a VTAC board he made out of the old kitchen counter from his house when the wife remodeled the kitchen.
e.) The gear queer - Owns top tier ARs and optics, is constantly swapping out stuff on his "platform" and tests each variation with about 20 rounds before exclaiming, "It's all good." Returns to his apartment so he can play FPS games online with other virtual shooters. Expends 20,000 rounds of virtual ammo for every real round at the range. Considers himself a real "operator" and "was going to join up but....."
f.) The real deal - Competitive shooter who takes the sport seriously and tests/sets up COFs and practices under a timer for an entire afternoon looking to improve splits by at least 0.05 seconds or more until he "tops out." Usually shoots 350 - 600 rounds in an afternoon with a 98% hit rate, 75+% "A Zones."
