Amen.

I estimate I've shot at 56K targets with my $2550 MX 8. That's 560 rounds of sporting. $2550 divided by 560 equals $4.55 per round for the gun cost. At an average of $5 per box for shells, and $25 per round for targets, and $45 in mileage costs (to and from) for each round, I've spent roughly $90 per round in other costs besides the gun cost. I'd say that puts the cost of a good target gun into perspective. And no one should be fooled, having a really good target gun makes a difference. JMO,YMMV.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
