Congrats on making it to the top 10 on THE LIST!Well I doubled down,,,
More like quadrupled down on ammo.
The way I'm progressing in my recuperation,,,
I don't think I'll be able to hit the range this winter,,,
So I decided to do an ammo inventory and see where I am.
Then I sat down and tried to make an accurate estimate,,,
Of how much I shoot up in a years time,,,
Then I compared those numbers.
Then I looked at my "new gun/ammo fund",,,
And added the current saved amount,,,
To what I would spend this winter.
Basically I have decided that I could afford one big ammunition purchase,,,
Which will stock me up for at least three years of range trips,,,
Or indefinitely if I replace what I shoot every month or so.
The actual dollar amount I've spent over the last two weeks totals just under $2,000.00,,,
This is the largest expenditure I've made for anything in years except for a car,,,
My hand was shaking a bit when I clicked the "Submit Order" button.
But now I have (or I will have upon delivery) enough ammunition,,,
To last me for many years at my normal consumption rate,,,
Or a lot longer if I must become a frugal shooter.
I'm not rich by any means,,,
I'm retired on a fixed moderate income,,,
But I do budget well and therefore have a "cushion" for this.
Now it's just waiting for that UPS driver to show up,,,
Today I'll organize some space in my closet ammo shelves.
