    Before purchasing any equipment it would probably be wise to discuss with some
    of our "veterans" the various options available and get some recommendations
    from them.
    You can expect to spend from $1,000 to $1,500 on clothes, gun, leathers, and
    miscellaneous gear to get started.
    You can probably get the uniform, clothes and shoes for around $400 to $500 to
    get outfitted to the point that with "loaner" equipment you could take the field
    at events.
