I am saving money

[AllenM]

I find if I cut down on the amount of time I spend at the range it really cuts down on all the ammo and do dads I "need" to buy.
I am thinking maybe try this for a year? Could pay off the car. Being debt free could be a part of my survival plan

Oh yea and quit reading the classifieds. That's the hard part.

For a year?

You won't make it

I hear ya! Ive decided Im not buying any more guns this year. Still want to get some more ammo on hand, but other than that Im done. I also figure I can better my skills with my current weapons.

 

[leftsock]

Being debt free is an excellent idea!

 

[pudly]

Try shooting more .22s. You can still spend plenty of time at the range and hold down costs.

Good idea on paying down any debts.

Agreed, I have actually thought of something similar, and have considered selling some of my guns that never see range time, and eliminating certain calibers to streamline my collection.

its a goal

 

[AllenM]

Just shoot a .22

I have started doing that more.
I don't want to eliminate range time 100% but even if I cut it by 75% or just go when I have friends to go with that will still be going a few times a month.

You're just talking crazy.

Maybe buy some reloading equipment instead. That'll bring down your shooting costs. Maybe you could even write it off as a business expense. You'd be bending and forming metal after all.

 

[williamnewman1]

this seems like a horrible idea

 

[sgreen3]

I did the same thing by only going when my buddies were going, and shooting more 22's. Its cut down on the range costs quite a bit. An reloading helps alot to.

I reload a few thousand rounds a year

I would be ashamed to confess what I have spent monthly on gun and gun related purchases over the last year. unless of course I was single then I would be proud.
There is room to cut back.

 

[handgun]

Well debut free is nice.
ammo is pricy though.

 

[vietboy1st]

it is easy to say then done. ....

 

[eatdessertfirst]

sorta like losing weight. can't be done. . .

 

[Salty Possum]

Being a college student, I got a lot of stuff to pay for, not just college but other things like paying off my car. I'm taking the next 3-4 months off as far as going to the range so I can have more money to save for a WASR 10. Then maybe I can hit the range again, I feel your pain.
