It would be nice to have an episode that discusses potential costs involved, including items discussed in this video. Initial setup, and then annual costs.
Thank you for the feedback. That may be something we do as video. If you go on our site, there is an article that lists some gear and costs. Hopefully it answers a few of your questions.
I've helped a number of new shooters in my area get started. Very few people have all of the gear when they get started. It's not unusual that we share with new folks while they gear up. Good used gear is often available; gunleather does not hold its value as well as a firearm so that can often be a way to save money. Occasionally there are deals on new firearms; when a friend of mine got started he picked up some new Uberti Hombre revolvers that a dealer was blowing out at $250 each. That is the exception rather than the rule, of course, but I've known a number of shooters who have gotten all the gear for about $2500. Once you have all of the gear, your main ongoing cost is ammunition. Most monthly matches are six stages which will require 60 rifle, 60 pistol and 24-30 shotgun shells. Entry fees for matches in my area are $10-$15. Most of us handload, which is a pretty significant savings over factory ammo. Ammunition is in short supply and is more expensive than it used to be. Those of us who handload are having trouble finding primers. Hopefully that situation will get better.
I switched out my own springs as well. I have my specific race guns but some guns I leave as stock because I want to keep the original parts as they were intended just depends on how I feel that day
You spend as much or more time on the clock doing transitions from one gun to another. You want to be competitive you need to practice that! Oh, and don't miss!
With all due respect - saying you "know" what the top shooters do and you "practiced" to become better and THEN wrapping your thumb over the rifle stock every shot shows a gap in your training or practice.
Great video. Also, the black powder keeps the mosquitos away.

Thousands would be an understatement.

NO GAP WITH SASS
SINCE GREAT BRITAIN RISED SATAN TO BE KING OF NORTHERN KINGDOM. ASSAULT NEVER STOPS FROM YOUR PEOPLE
If he practices the technique the same way, he can do it how ever he wants
Tip#1 Have a lot of free time on your hands.
I am surprised to see a ring on the cylinder. What a shame.
Want to be quicker ...2:06 stop wrapping your thumb over the stock and adjust your fingers on the lever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If he practices it plenty, it shouldn't be a problem with him
