Just wondering how many folks here enjoy shooting. What do you shoot? Where?

Do some pheasant and deer hunting but most my shooting is critter control. Have several rifles, pistols and shot guns but my favorites are my black powder revolvers, 10/22 and AR.
You can never have to many guns and ammo
genareddog, know what you mean, went coyote hunting in Wyoming during the late fall, spent several hours prone in the snow to not see a damned one through my scope. Enjoyed it enough but would rather hunt in warmer weather. My boy had a blast hunting jacks and bagged himself a couple. Left the eating to his dear old dad.
I have more rifles than handguns and, curiously enough, not a single shotgun. Been meaning to fix that but seem to spend money on my hobbies too fast to buy a shotgun. Living in The People's Communist Republic of Massachusetts nixes about 3/4 of my choices of firearm purchases anyway.

kswildcat, I bought an ankle rig for my J frame about 20 years ago and used it exactly... once. Crossdraw, strong side at 4 oclock, or in a pocket will do the trick. Ankle rig just made me walk funny.

I'm pretty sure it's accurate enuff to hit anything I may need to hit being most situations needing to skin it would be close range.

Have a single action .22 revolver for plinking and a 9mm semi, both Ruger's. Favorite is a Colt .32 semi, it was my grandfathers and great for c/c. He paid $20.50 for it, still have the box and everything that came with it. Made in 1914 and last appraised at 90-95% condition. He never really shot it, but I do, fits my hand like a glove. Looking at a .357 Mag revolver for my B-Day now, wish me luck. When I start stocking up on that ammo it may affect my cigar budget though.
Also have two Walthers, a PPS and a PPW, both 9mm, and Kimber Super Carry. The latest acquisition is a Sig P226 .40.
It'd be hard to pick a favorite; they all shoot well and I love each one dearly.
I love building my own ARs and the wife and I shoot archery together.
Anyway I c/c a HK P2000 .40 or my FNS 9mm.
Other pistols i have are:
Springfield XDS 9mm
S & W M&P40
FNX .40
HK .45 Tac
I only have two rifles, FN SCAR-L 5.56 and the Barrett M82.
I generally don't shoot rifles often because of the cold temps and the need for almost perfect weather. Especially with the Barrett, I have a high mag scope so my targets need to be REALLY downrange. Plus lugging all of the computers and data and needing a spotting partner just becomes a pain in the ass. Last time I shot the Barrett was August 2015 because bullets are about $7 a piece so I make every shot count! lol
I also like to shoot arrows and right now have a assortment of self bows and bamboo backed recurves hanging in my studio all self built. I like to pull around #60 at 28". I try to shoot 25-30 arrows a day. Building bows and arrows is fun.
Got long guns and hand guns like the rest of you guys but being the recipient of a AK round when I was young don't shoot modern guns much. Got em just in case.

As far as .357 ammo breaking the bank you can use .38 special for plinking https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fzBdxsvS-kE
