My BF plays paintball (semi-pro) it's $100 just for the priviledge of walking onto the playing field.
Not to mention jersey, pants, pads, goggles, gloves, spikes, more pads, and the GUNS $$$$$$.
He has 4 guns, and he has let me be there when purchasing the last two - OUCH - each as much as my embroidery machine!!
Last year his team went to nationals, and they are planning on going again this year.
He has mentioned that he spends more on his hobby than I spend on mine. I'm not going to argue with him!!
