Just wanted to know what you'll spend monthly on range time ammo targets and more. Pretty much anything gun related. For me it's been on average about $500 a month all together. Not to bad considering shooting isn't a cheap hobby.
Well, here is a quick breakdown: Range membership: 100/year so average $10 a month. Competition fees: 5-15 bucks a session, so average 20 a month. I don't reload, so I buy Federal Champion @ 21 per box. 3-4 boxes a month, so average $75 a month. Targets...5 bucks a month. Gas...a lot! It's a 20 min drive. Total, around 200 including gas.
That's not to bad. See most of my money is range time because I done have a membership. Didn't get one because I leave in two months for the army.
2 range memberships total $315/year $26/month average 1000 rds a month about $300/month targets usually free gas free (work vehicle) so about $326 a month give or take, more in the summer, less in the winter months
I have kept a running count since I started shooting on February 15th, 2009. As of May 3rd, 2012 I have spent $15199.46. That's about $400.00 per month. My wife thinks I should have bought a Miata. I am going to try and keep the expenses down by not buying any more handguns, and just strictly purchasing ammo and gun club membership dues.
Paper for targets is free sticker dots about .02 each ammo $10.00 a box Range fees, none ( 70yd range behind the house) less than $50.00 a month , unless kids and wife join in
I have 2 range memberships ( 1 was free from the range) the other was $210 for the 1st year ammo hard to say I buy ammo every time I go to Walmart so maybe $250 a month Targets maybe $5 /mo
Private club was $250 for initiation fee and $100 annual member dues. In the winter, I shoot at an indoor range at $10/visit (separate facility). I shoot once a week if not twice. Ammo: $100/week Targets were $1 for paper but I bought some Cardboard IPSC targets for $.75/unit and I use one to two for shotgun, my Arntzen targets are armor plated IPSC and 10" target with separate stands (they ran about $325 for both). $500-$600/month, on average.
Just since last weekend (4-28) to present Rental G23 - Box of ammo - Targets - Ear plugs - Glasses - range time = $60 Bought new G23 Gen 4 = $559 Meprolight sights = $104 5 boxes of 40 cal. = $80 Range time - $23 Lol this itch is adding up LOL
I went to VA with 4 guns. I have a lot more since I moved here. I don't want to even get into the cost of guns, holsters, sights, magazines and 2 range bags.
