Quoted: The reason I ask is that I've seen some guys post some amazing collections on here... [flame]Yeah, but do they know how to use them? (and more importantly, when not to?)[flame] But how much do [b]I[/b] spend? I'm embarrassed to say really. I've been laying off the collecting game for a while now - really can't afford any more new guns ever since I decided to learn how to use the ones I already have. Training classes alone have almost ruined me financially over the last couple of years, but LFI-2 is coming up in May. That's $800 - plus a week's food and board away from home - minus a week's vacation - plus a couple of thousand rounds of pistol and shotgun ammo. All in all, it'll be a coupla thou just for the pleasure of being trained by Mas Ayoob. If that was it for this year that wouldn't be so bad - but there's an Urban Rifle & Shotgun course with John Farnan later in the Summer too down in Illinoize - hate to miss that… |

And don't get me started with IDPA State and Regional Championships, Single Stack Classics, and all the other "fun" competition bullshit…
Can I factor in how much time (and money) I volunteered to become NRA certified in Pistol, Personal Protection, and Range Officering? How about the hours used to perform grounds maintenance, build targets, and work the hunter's clinics at the 3 clubs I belong to? All the fucking IDPA SOing and organizing? The time it takes to build targets, and attend pro-CCW events, write letters??? I don't think $10,000 would be an out of line estimate on what I put into this hobby for year 2002. |

Between August 2001 and Aug 2003 I spent close to 10K. But I was stupid and didnt save any money. So when a bunch of medical bills popped up I had to sell just about everything that I bought. Now I'm scraping up money to get a CCW 1911 again.

A lot less than I did in 2001. I figured out how much I spent total on shooting it came out to about ten grand. That includes eight firearms, ammo, cases, ammo, memberships, ammo, training, reloading press and dies, and ammo components.
Now that I live in a state where I can pick up mg's, suppressors and any hand gun I want easily and with out the hassle of local restrictions I don't have enough money to buy anything but ammo. I'm planning on making a 2004 a big purchase year to make up for 2002-03. |

My accounting software says around $12k. 1/4 of that was my first foray into the world of class 3. Rest was ammo, 4 other guns, more ammo, IDPA match fees (weekly), a bunch of preban magazines, and yet more ammo. Fortunately(?) I'm not married so there's no one to nag me about the expense.

I don't feel so bad once I read some of what you guys spent, but I got up to $ 5000 pretty damn quickly and I didn't even bother with accessories (boresnakes, slings blah blah)

I would guess about $5,000.
DPMS $850 Sig $600 Glock $400 Mauser $150 and tons of ammo and IDPA stuff. Already this year I have bought $650 worth of stuff, (5) M-44's & (2) Yugo SKS's and two tins of 7.62x54R and some stripper clips for the Mosins. |

Rough guess, around $4k, if I include the BRC trip and its expenses. At any rate, I spent less in 2002 than in 2001, and will likely spend a lot more in 2003 - especially if a Texas trip comes to pass next October......

Probably $5k total, if I hadn't been out of work for 5 months (thanks all you assholes at Kent State!) it probably would've been more like $10k.
I definitely have some nice stuff as a result of the money I spent in 2002. Savage tactical .223 w/ trigger job and Tasco SS 16x, two SAR2's customized by Derek at AZEX (one mine and one my wife's), a Kimber procarry, a nice Taurus .22 revolver, etc. 2003 will be spent personalizing what I have, and selling some of what I don't use. |

Didn't spend diddly in 2002. Now that I discovered this site I'm saving up for my first one. I spent around $75 for 200 rounds of 12ga, 1100 rounds of .22lr, and went in with a friend for some cheap .357 to try out in his dad's S&W.
Minor as well [:(] |

Well, because of this topic, I ran a little report in my accounting software on the category 'Leisure-Guns & Ammo'. Damn, shouldn't have done that...
2001 and 2002 were big years for me. 2003 will be about half of the last two years. According to the computer, roughly $15,000 in '02. That is everything from guns to ammo and a whole lot in between. Also, that doesn't account for a significant number of small purchases here and there such as fun show crap, small quantities of ammo, CLP, etc. I'd say $18k is a fair estimate. Edited to add that, the only hard-to-swallow part of that figure is the fact that at least half (but probably more) of it was consumables. (ammo, cleaning supplies, etc.) |
