A basic rule of life, the overall cost of living goes up each year. Post pandemic it has gone up much faster than before. It's not just the cost it's the shortages as well. Buy what you can when you can, take advantage of sales and flat rate shipping deals. Share the info on that when you find it. Clay pigeon shooting isn't called the sport of kings for no reason.

And I thought horse racing was the sport of kings? Silly me.

Is that why so many registered shooters are a Royal Pain in the Arse? Asking for a friend.

Horses are in a league of their own.

I was under the impression live bird shooting was the sport of royalty . I mean the big big boxbird shoot in Madrid isn’t called “The Kings Cup” for nothing .

Customer of mine swears it's cutting horses. "This is how rich folks go broke"

Suddenly, a 25 bird one day live bird shoot is about the price of a 200 bird one day clay target shoot. I haven't checked my arithmetic, but you get the idea. What's more fun?
