Absolutely competitive shooting is not a cheap thing
I have a trap shotgun that cost me pretty close to what most of my Shilohs with the sight cost
A tricked out comp ready 1911 will run dang near what a shiloh cost and then after you add the red dots and the rest of the gear ...
The cost of some going to some matches can be quite high so I usually figure the cost of going staying and divide by the number of rounds for score, but some matches there can be some tourists stuff along the way to help justify the cost
But it still beats 5 grand to go sit on a beach with 1000 other people for 3 days lol
