IPSC costs

[hungrybeagle]

In Toronto, you have to pay a little extra in taxes to help fund your mayor's crack habit.

 

[mrclean]

Hey c'mon HB, all the courses are outside toronto since the last mayor declared recreational shooters to be the great evil that was causing crime in the city and shut the ranges.

 

[PapaHotel01]

Lol, that was funny HB

Well, we had to live down Gordon Campbell's DUI, now it's your turn.

NSSA skeet + IPSC = no money.
You only live once.

Do what you love to do. Life is short. Enjoy it.

Sometimes you have to say f** it.

There are not enough weekends in a month to shoot everything for sure!

 

[PapaHotel01]

Lol pretty much every weekend I go through my safe and decide what I haven't shot in awhile and need to get out with. Most often I default to the IPSC guns and I have one Winchester I've owned for maybe 15 years and still haven't got around to shooting...

 

[colt45gunner]

I started tallying up my costs for shooting for a year.....I had about 4 figures in my head.....I then quickly realized, I dont want to know the answer...LOL

Sorry, I am of no help!

Well Said & + 1

That is why they invented evenings!

 

[PapaHotel01]

Evenings are for cleaning guns, drinking whiskey and talking with old friends (not nessesarily all at once)

And there is not much time left in an evening when you get up before 4am.

 

[euxx]

I don't get it. Are you coming up with excuses not to shoot?

 

[PapaHotel01]

I don't get it.

We know

 

[euxx]

We know

That explains it

 

[PapaHotel01]

Of course

And there is not much time left in an evening when you get up before 4am.

I start just a little later than Mr. Clean. I get to sleep until 4:30am.
My day job takes up 40+ hours a week.
When I get home and caffeinated, I have 3-4 hours of work with my small business.
Fortunately I rarely sleep 6 hours a night.

Every minute I can spare to shoot is time carved out of the remainder.
Surprisingly, my wife and three kids do periodically become part of that equation.

Not surprisingly I use the winter slowdown to play catch up in reloading ammo and household projects.

 

[mrclean]

No excuses, just reasons.
Weekends are my shooting time.
I like your idea PH, should start working my way thru the collection, will give me a better handle on the winter maintainence too.

And reloading while watching movies
