I am also in the same boat. Due to the shakiness of the economy I have not purchased a Challenger either.
I have taken up tactical and competitive pistol shooting. Next year, I plan to take some precision rifle classes and more tactical pistol classes. Even if I shoot 100 bullets a weekend, that is only $20.00 in cost for practice or pistol competition.
