How much do you spend monthly on ammo/range fees?
Just curious how much everyone is spending on ammo and range fees per month to keep up with the shooting sport.
I'm probably around $500-$700 per month on ammo and range fees but there are some months that it is alot less when I am just too busy to shoot.

PSC - $15 per month (or so) (about $180 per year including the wife as associate member)
Ammo for wife and me - $50 - $70 - but really depends on if we get a new weapon, with a new weapon, the first weekend could be $50 to compare and contrast the weapons we have, then maybe $20-$30 for the rest of the month.

Gun club dues are $75.00 annualy I have no idea of how much I spend on ammo because I reload and buy components in bulk.

Around $300 per month.

Probably $100 per month on average, excluding classes and instructor-led training, but most of my shooting switched to .22LR during the shortages and I haven't seen any reason to go back.

Fortunately for me, I belong to the Pearland Shooting Club and its dues are $150 a year. It's outdoors and that can mean it gets a little warm which I why I tend to go early in the morning about 2-3 times a week. Ammo runs me about $50 a week I'm guessing since I tend to shoot about 100-150 rounds per visit, sometimes more, sometimes less. And it does depend on what caliber gun(s) I take along.

Range fee is $100 annually for family. We shoot some .22lr, 9mm, .45acp, .38sp, .223, and 7.62x39. I might shoot 50 rounds of .308. We don't go through all our calibers per month, but instead shoot varying calibers each month.
For example if I'm working on shoot/move drills I can use my Taurus P22lr. It's snappy and I'm surprisingly accurate with out to 25 yards (10x12 paper). I suppose in other calibers we go through about 150 rounds per month in handguns, maybe 100 rifle rounds.
Although, I am going through the break in now on a new AR. So, that was over 200 rounds by itself last month.

Re: How much do you spend monthly on ammo/range fees?
I typically don't see a range fee (Use publicly owned range), however this week was slightly different (Went to Lubbock, Rented and shot the XDm-45). I normally spend $150 to $250 on ammo per month, and about $3 per month on cleaning supplies. Now that goes out the window when a new gun enters the collection, teaching a new shooter, or when hunting enters the equation as all these get added on to what I normally do.
