PODS

 

BAGS

 

PELLETS

 

CLOTHS

 

CAR OR 4X4,S

 

mE AND VIZ WERE GOING TO THE SHOOTING RANGE ONE DAY AND ON THE WAY WE STARTED WORKING OUT THE COST OF THE RIFLES)WE HAD TAKEN ALL OUR RIFLES)IN THE BOOT OF THE CAR

 

well over £8000 quid and that was with out the cars or the rest of the gear that go,s with them

 

CAR how many have started off with just a nice family car only to find that you need a bigger boot for all the gear and the rifle to fit in to COST

 

Then you get some land you can drive and along comes a 4x4 only to change it for some thing bigger lol COST

 

CLOTHS ,,,some of them cost as much as a rifle what with JACK PIKE,,,REAL TREE AND SO ON COST

 

BOOTS same as above cost a small fortune COST

 

SCOPES,,, we all want the best we can afford and even if we are not looking for a better set of scopes when a set comes up on the cheep side we jump on them even if we dont have a rifle spare for them to fit on lol COST

 

MOUNTS,,,, we want the best we need them no good buying the cheep tat you will just have to replace them any way COST

 

LAMPS,,,, iv had 100,s of them red beam green ,,,white and so on then the lamps them self's t20 t35 t6 t67 cree ultra fire and so on COST

 

PODS,,,(if you have a pcp) you need good ones not ones that fall to bits iv seen this happen out in the field more COST

 

 

PELLETS,,, we all strive to get that pellet that will make a better shot and group well

Aye lads,

 

Does it matter what any of us have spent ? Such a wonderful escape to the real world and nature.

 

 

The times, the years continuing and memories I have, are simply, " Priceless".

[toby63 1,236]

all i can say ive been a fool on what ive spent and still spend on my sport . il leave it at that ?

[Rez 4,961]

Im not sure Ive spent 'that' much myself. < I started with that but after typing the rest and adding it up...

 

Ive 'only' [Not that many compared to some of you] owned about 10 rifles, each one average 450-750, plus my HM @ 1300, thats 6K. About 10 scopes, bought some kit like gun slips, rangefinders, targets, pellets, pellets, jesus, they can eat into the funds... a tin a week, 60'ish quid a month, 700 a year.

 

Yeah, so its about 7-8k.

[shropshire dan 467]

I paid £10k for 4x4 but is still a family vehicle (volvo xc90)

 

Spent over £1K on NV this year. Over the last 13 years of shooting I've spent at least £18k.

 

Hope my missus doesn't become a member on here lol ?

Not as much as roughworks you twat

[villaman 9,983]

I did work it it out a few years ago and it was quite staggering and that did not include diesel ,one permission cost me about £25 in diesel each time i go

Still cheaper shooting than going to watch England play football , that used to cost me at least £1000 every away game , about four times a year and £300 for a home game at Wembley and even more when we had to go to Manchester . At least £5k a year and nothing to show for it ,apart from disappointment , I could of bought a daystate and got the same feeling
