25k rounds of 22LR still isn't that much. I read a recommendation several years ago that to become good with a rifle one should shoot 1600 rounds of 22 LR the first year and then 1200 per year after that from the various field positions. 25k represents 20 years of that level of practice plus 600 rds for hunting. For 2 in a family that's only 10 years worth, and if you had 4 people at that annual volume you might not have enough to make it to the next presidential administration.
