They also said 8 out of 10 people suffer from hemorrhoids.....The other 2 enjoy them!!!!!

$255 is more like weekly on groceries.

Easy to spend 10X’s that at any kiosk at the NRA Exhibits this past weekend in Atlanta.
Not admitting to anything though.

Exactly. When you read the rubbish they print about anything gun related you know they know nothing about economics or energy, or anything important!

 

[NZ_Fclass]

I spend that on gas in a month, getting to ranges.

 

[demarpaint1]

LOL fake news. Maybe 10X that or more......

 

[Handi204]

I’ll spend more than that on mandolin strings.

Spent more than that for a 8 lb. of N150 last week . These guys are idiots . They are no longer even to be considered Journalists , but radical Left-wing Activist with a platform for their "Hate-speech" !

Same; my Buyer vs Seller Feedback is evidence of that.

What does this have to do with accurate rifles?

It means that if you spend that $255.00/year, you don't have accurate rifles, or even one.

According to recent data, Americans spend an average of $3,458 on entertainment and hobbies.

Obviously the reporter never had a hobby. A decent scope is $3K, now if you divide into the reporters numbers. It will be quite some time before you are allowed to purchase anything else.

For most people on this site and who actually shoot for a hobby, the #250 number sounds very low.
However, I think you're missing the fact that at least 25% of people are below the poverty line or just above it, and the majority are sitting below 50k a year. There are plenty of people who can't spend $250 a year on hobbies. If you ask numerous people what their hobby is, they can't give an answer, or will say their kids.

Remember, there are many people who are just trying to survive.

Very true, thanks for the reminder.
Those of us that can afford to put out money for hobbies should be thankful.
