Perhaps you should try the 22 Long Range rifle matches at Riley. $15 entry fee and another $12-15 for 75 rounds of quality ammo will last 4 hours. We had 30 entries today. Most guys will loan their rifle to newbies if you pay them for the ammo. Practice cost less, some of us like the solitude.Though I may run out and have to retire from shooting and find another sport, I do have a plan if prices dip for awhile.
I am going to figure out how much I need for the number of years I think I will be interested in shooting and I will stock up accordingly.
Then I can shoot through all the times of famine, general price increases, etc.. I will have everything I need to shoot until I am done shooting...forever.
And if I have anything left over, my son can have it.
