Train often and not just at a square range with stationary targets.

I try to shoot at least once a month. Lately I've been shooting about once every 10 days or so.

I used to shoot at least every other week. However, life happens so now I get to go about once a month

Since you're in Paris, you should take a look at Critical Defense Group. They are 8 miles north of Greenville. Great training and people.

I've taken an interest in quality air guns. I can, and do, shoot in my backyard any time I, and the weather, feel like it.

Until the threat stops.
Seriously, though. I chose monthly, but it works out to be about every 2-3 weeks for the whole year. I might shoot handgun, rifle, or shotgun twice a month or every 2-3 months due to various factors. This month, I'll be shooting 3/4 weekends and twice on one weekend. A night shoot one Saturday night and then a 5-stand match the next day.

I try for monthly, but usually is it 2 months or so until the next range time. However, I shot just last week and have a date with a friend to go shooting Friday!!

Live fire one day per month. Dry fire with OCATS twice per month.

I go almost every Friday after work. I don't stay long, but the routine helps a lot. I also rotate guns each time.

I have a similar routine. My range is on the way to work, so I stop by right at opening or right at closing about once a week and spend 20 minutes. I prefer it that way so that there aren't many people around. People at ranges make me nervous.

I started to not vote because I'm ashamed of the answer. Quarterly at best. Until recently, I didn't have a place to shoot. I did spend what is an appreciable amount of my discretionary funds on membership in a good gun club, just before the holidays. But then the holidays really claimed a lot of my time, and the weather has been terrible.
My plan is to start buying at least one box of ammo every week and hit the range at least once a month.
Did I mention that I also plan to start going to the gym?
