I can and do fire two of the 500 round bricks in an afternoon, and I don't shoot like a fool.
I have a system though, and shoot seriously and with concentration. I think most of the guys shooting on the line don't go through that much ammo, and aren't as good as they should be after decades of practice, because they spend more time jawing than practicing.
I don't mean to sound snobbish though, the hunter who only shows up to sight in his rifle before the season once a year, and the old guys who spend most of their time in the clubhouse drinking coffe, and talking about the good old days, have every right to be there, just as much as paper punchers like me.
I use ten meter, five bull rifle targets. I shoot at ten meters. They are about 8 inches square, and the bulls are a little bigger than the lids of pill bottles. I place twelve of them, four high by three wide on my target backing. That gives me 60 bulls to shoot at.
I slow fire five rounds at each bull at ten meters, standing (wheelchair adapted) freehand in my factory ruger 10/22. I use the factory ten round ruger magazines, and had only two, till I picked up two steel lips 25 rounders. It was nice having 300 rounds between target changes, and my gf could get alot of studying done in the clubhouse while I shoot.
I get to the range about 11 or twelve, and leave between 4:30 and 6:00 most saturdays. I find time to break for lunch. Since I'm in a paraplegic, and use a wheelchair, my GF changes my targets for me.
I am going through much fewer ammo boxes right now though, because I just bought a savage FVT, with the peep sights, and have started shooting at 25 meters, so I use single bull targets, and can only fit nine of them on a target board. I also only have a single five round clip for my savage, and loading is slower. It was also cold today, so my gf made us leave early, so I shot one box and a half less than 400 round brick.
