Prices for entering/competing
I want to get into competition shooting. I already have a firearm, but would need holster, mag carrier etc. How much does it typically cost to enter handgun competitions?
Also how many magazines are ideal and how many rounds should I expect to fire per match? Trying to get a ballpark figure for cost to be active in competitions. |

Mag carrier $30
3 mags Holster $60 Match fee for our local match $10 for members, $15 for visitors. Plan on 100 rounds for a 4-5 stage local match. Always bring extra. |

Sorry, late to the party.
A .22 Bullseye match: You need, at a minimum, a .22 handgun, two magazines (if you're shooting an auto), and 90 rounds of ammunition, plus ear/eye protection. At my club's matches, I've seen everything used from fixed-sight Colt Woodsmans and 4" Taurus-94s to full-blown Volquartsens (Ruger clones) with optical sights. |

It is important to remember that the biggest expense in firearms match shooting is ammunition....that 100 rounds for the local five stage match...the 90 rounds for the Bullseye match - Practice needs ammo - double or triple that at least and add it on. In the long run, ammo cost dwarfs everything else.
