We're all still alive anyway.
You know, in this area, guys who want to shoot have to drive so far to get to their range that the price of gas has become a serious consideration in making the decision as to whether or not to head out to the range. One muzzleloading fanatic friend of mine drove 66 miles each way to the range every week religiously for years and years but with gas at $3.85 a gallon he was just telling me last night he hasn't shot in a month. He's driving a Honda Accord, mind you. I'm driving a Jeep Commander. Figure I average 14 miles to a gallon. 56 miles each way is 112 miles of driving to shoot. That's 8 gallons of gas at $3.85 a gallon. That's over 30 bucks for gas alone.
Everything is changing due to the weak dollar.
