As a hobby it is what you make of it. You don’t have to spend a ton of money and you can have reliable fun. In the PB world as soon as you step out of 22 lr ammo per shot sky rockets. About any centerfire rifle and ouch it’s expensive and most people can’t shoot those in their backyard or afford to shoot 100’s to 1000’s of rounds like we do in our air rifles.
THIS.
PCPs and all the peripherals are spendy. But shooting them a lot is much cheaper than shooting powder burners at the same volume. And your shoulder doesn't hurt. And you're not burning through barrels. And you're not deaf from the report.
@chaught was over at my place a few weeks ago, getting his rifle set up for a field target event. I'd estimate that he took 150-200 shots as we were working through various distances, gathering dope. I forget what prompted the comment but as we were getting done he noted how a guy sure can't shoot that much with a firearm for so cheap.
