Thread: Cost & Time to start

After you gain your B you still need to attend 12 club days a year.

For what it's worth, pretty much anyone I have met who doesn't take up one of the competitive disciplines tends to lose interest fairly quick. There's only so many times you can go and fire off rounds without purpose before it loses it's appeal. But on the plus side, there are usually a handful of decent guns up for sale regularly from these people as they quit.

Gear cost will depend on what you are interested in, a glock can be had for around $1k, and you can go as far as you like, I've seen custom 2011s worth more than $20k floating around.

Thank you for all these words. I have planned to join pistol shooting since day one when I have my FAL. How long it will take now to apply for B endorsement? And, how they will calculate my FAL duration after I obtained B? For example, my FAL still have few years left, and then I have my B endorsement, so another 10 years or 5, or they will calculate separately?
