Just returned two packs of Muzzy broadheads to Walmart, +$4. Got 200 rounds of 9mm instead. I can always resharpen my old broadheads  ;D
Small bore rifle shooting every other week 50 rounds. Club is only 10 miles away.

Since yesterday when they told us at work that everyone was taking a 20% pay cut for a month or three until they could get their cash flow going, the economy has severely cut into my shooting.

The price of gas, traveling to the shoots that Marshal and I want to compete in has put a tremendous dent in out being able to just take off for weekends and find a Kansas shoot and go.
We are waaaay in the south east corner of Kansas.. so to go anywhere is a minimum of an hours drive ( to Neodesha Club) and it is a 3 hours drive at least to Hutchinson to their club. Oklahoma is at least an hour or more ( Tulsa being 2) but no matter.. by the time we drive and eat and shoot.. it is pretty expensive.

We reload everything ( and the proice of all of that is going up faster than you can skin a cat) **oppps.. sorry Haz***
and I have property out in the country 6 miles out so we shoot whenever we want to there..( so it makes no difference)  but for the social shoots it sure does get pricey.
