I wonder why the need to target shoot so often. Once and done, usually to sight your gun. I grew up next door to NH. Maybe during a family gathering we’d spend an hour or so with multiple relatives shooting cans. But there wasn’t this need to shoot on a frequent basis.

Listen you grew up around guns probably your whole life so it’s not a big deal to you I just recently got into firearms 2 years ago so yes I’m one of those because I’m big on preserving my life I’m pretty sure living up in New Hampshire you never had to even lock your doors let alone having to deal with gang members

It’s responsible gun ownership to stay familiar with your gun. Along with that things like muscle memory or just practicing benefit from regular target practice. More people should be doing target practice more often but it’s so hard with the lack of available places
