Shooting gets pretty expensive.
I don't have my license, but my friend does and I've been out shooting with him three times.

Because i'm not a member at the gun range, you pay $30-35 as an entrance fee.
Then you pay for ammo.

He had an AR 15 and I think ammo for that was either 5 or 10 cents per bullet. He also had a bigger long range rifle and ammo for that was like $0.50, then his shot gun was also around $0.50 cents per round. I'm not quite sure about the numbers, but when we went to buy ammo at the store, we spent about $150 on ammo.

So the entire day cost me around $100 including ammo and the range fee. Not something I could do on the regular.

By the way, shooting the AR15 standing up was next to impossible. When you're seated and the gun is stationary, it is pretty easy. But, as soon as you stand up the cross hare feels like you're on a boat. The movies make shooting a gun look so easy, it is significantly more difficult to shoot standing up. Great experience though.
