The shooting sports has gotten more expensive, but then what hasn't?
I figure a round of sporting clays here will cost me somewhere around a hundred bucks with everything added up including lunch.
In comparison, I've had the good fortune to shoot doves in Argentina several times over the years and all of those outfitter packages in the past have included at least 2000 rounds in the package with extra ammo after that costing 12 to 15 dollars a box. I've been invited on a trip to Argentina for next April & was taken back by the cost increase. The basic package is more expensive & no longer has any included ammo plus has the add-on costs for gun rental & licensing. All ammo will now be charged at $22.50 per box. This comes out to $900.00 per thousand shells which is fairly easily shot in a day if your inclined to do so. Airfares are more expensive as well and when I add everything-up depending on how much you shoot, a three-day hunt could be in the neighborhood of 3k a day.
When looked at from this perspective, a round of sporting clays is a bargain.
