[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4153707, member: 13337"] That would work but it costs more in the long run,,, My way you are only out the ammo you would have had to buy anyway. My friends all know they can shoot any of my guns,,, For the price of a box or two of ammo. It doesn't always work like that though,,, This past summer a friend and his son came shooting with me. The boy wanted to shoot handguns,,, So I hooked him up with my Ruger SR-22,,, After 50 rounds of the .22 I let him shoot a mag from my 9mm EC9s. He didn't want to shoot the .22 anymore,,, He said the 9mm was way much more fun to shoot. It became apparent he was not into trying to hit the target,,, He just wanted to turn money into noise. I told him he could shoot the 9mm all he wanted,,, He smiled and reached for the pistol. But then I added,,, As long as you pay for the ammo. When he found out this particular box was 26 cents per round,,, He decided that he was happy shooting the SR-22. We were popping Federal bulk at 7 cents per round,,, He was loading another mag of .22 when his dad stepped in. Apparently his Dad was just a bit miffed at his son,,, The kid (13 years old) was showing quite a bit of an entitled attitude. His dad made him agree to pay for the 50 rounds he had shot,,, And also pay for any he would shoot the rest of the day. He's actually a decent enough kid,,, But he got taught a much needed lesson in economics that day. Normally I'm happy to front the cost of .22 ammo,,, And a few rounds of stuff like the 85 cents per round .44 Magnum. I was perfectly willing to do it that day,,, But Dad got miffed so I accepted his judgement. I did tell the kid I would take him shooting again,,, Any time he wanted to buy some ammo,,, So far he has never asked to go again. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
