3 Reasons You Should Visit The Shooting Range Regularly


The general advice is to go to the range as often as your wallet allows. If you have a sizable ammunition storage stockpile, you have the luxury of going more often than other shooters. Going to the shooting range is about more than plinking around with buddies (although there’s value in that too). The shooting range is the place to hone your skills and become a better shooter. Here’s why you should go more often.

Maintain Your Skills

Maintaining your skills is one of the most important reasons to go to the range at least monthly. Shooting is what is known as a perishable skill. It’s not like riding a bike; you can definitely become a little rusty if you don’t shoot for a while. Training regularly ensures your baseline skills remain the same, and the more often you shoot, the better you’ll become over time. 

Increase Your Accuracy

Consistently going to the range can help you improve your accuracy. You can work on your trigger control, sight alignment, and follow-through. It’s a part of maintaining and improving your skills. The more you practice, the more accurate you will be. If ammo prices scare you away from training more often, focus on using practice rounds. They’re more affordable than self-defense rounds and will work perfectly fine in target practice.

Build Muscle Memory

Building muscle memory is essential to being a top-level shooter. It’s like overriding your body’s natural instinct to flinch and close your eyes when you shoot. You simply have to practice and get used to it. In the same way, you need to build muscle memory by shooting, reloading, charging, drawing from a holster, and moving around a range. You will be more comfortable using each gun, and hitting the slide release or bolt catch after a reload will become second nature, but only if you put in the time to commit it to muscle memory.

About AmmoSquared

AmmoSquared started in 2015 with a simple idea: creating a better way for people to stockpile ammo. Having ammo is necessary for a variety of reasons, from weekend range shooting to defense. It also vanishes from store shelves and is subject to shortages, so having a stockpile provides peace of mind and more control over your preparedness. AmmoSquared is working to help the average gun owner build and store a stockpile of ammo, creating a safety net for when they need it. AmmoSquared offers all of the most popular cartridges, including 5.56 mm green tip, 9mm, .223 Remington, and more.
