Gunnies Spend Lots of Money
Of course, we already know this because the cash burns through our wallets anytime we’re around guns and other shooting gear. But now here are some numbers you can use.
Forty million Americans today are active in shooting sports and hunting. During their lifetimes, the total retail value of their recreational activities will top $4 trillion, projects the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), a nonprofit trade association for the firearm industry. …NSSF’s study looked at hunters and shooters’ expenditures from age 16 to 75.
Researchers found the average lifetime outlay for firearms, ammunition and other gear totals $20,219 per person. When purchases for licenses and lodging, food and fuel, magazines and meat processing, dues and contributions, and other associated items are added, the average lifetime grand total rises to $109,568 per person.
