How
popular is this hobby?
Reenacting
the "War Between the States" is a growing hobby. There are thousands
of reenactors across the United States, although reenacting is not confined
to this country. There are reenactors in Australia, Austria, Canada, Great
Britain, Germany, Ukraine, and a few other Baltic states in Europe that
are interested in America's Civil War.
How
expensive is this hobby?
Reenacting
can be an expensive hobby, although is is no more expensive than scuba
diving, skydiving, or even golf if you seem to enjoy buying a really nice
set of golf clubs. The average price for a three-band Enfield rifle is
somewhere between $375 and $475, depending on the dealer. The rifle is
the most expensive item most people have to buy, unless you are interested
in the artillery.
