| Expenses of Reenacting |
| or What Price Fun! |
 |
| Okay, you got through what equipment, supplies, and clothing that is required to be a member of the Goodson Rifles. Now, your asking yourself, "How much will all this cost?". The average initial cost per member is from $1,300 to $2,000. The cost is dependent on how many options you decide to buy. Below is a list of items and the cost. Check out the Preferred Sutler Page to find where these items can be purchased. For most members, it takes approximately a year to gather the basics. In that year, new members are trained to drill according to the Hardee's Manual, taught saftey, and the basics of reenacting. Don't "baa humbug" that year because it is one of the most important years you can have in reenacting. |
