    Some people will shoot half a ton a year or more, without going fishing once! I only WISH I could afford to shoot that much.

    Was in Canada fishing in August for a week and had to remove the duct tape off my tackle box that was put on there last August! Clint

    My wife and myself are pretty heavy into Cowboy Action Shooting. Between the 2 of us, we will average around 15,000 rounds per year. I have 3 nice fishing poles in my shop, but they haven't moved in over 10 years. Wonder if they are still there?

    The first time I read your post, I thought you said 15,000 pounds

    I wish I could find the time to go shooting. I think I've been 4-5 times this year. It's killing me. I don't think I've used up 20 pounds of lead yet...Ray

    200 grain boolits? times 15k equals 3million grains divided by 7k equals just shy of 430 pounds per year.


    Can someone check my math? That was always my worst subject
