You had some pretty well-off rural neighbors if they shot guns daily. Ammunition isn't cheap. I've lived in a rural area for a long time, and, yes maybe once a week or month a neighbor will practice their marksmanship, but thankfully it isn't a daily occurrence.
- alamortsubite 2y agoThe neighbors in rural places I've lived haven't been terribly well-off, as far as I could tell, but they clearly have had different priorities.
- delichon 2y agoIt gets massively cheaper when those priorities include reloading your own ammo. My most well off neighbor is the most prolific shooter I know. He shoots targets almost daily with his .22, and I don't hear it at all from 1/3 mile away. He doesn't use a suppressor, but some kind of quieter round. I guess that means slower.

- batch12 2y agoThis is true. The trade off is time, but reloading is cheaper. Maybe he uses subsonic loads.
