shotgun ammo in short supply

slowshooter · **Posted:** Sun Feb 14, 2021 6:58 pm

Every single time someone complains about Liberals confiscating guns, hoarders buy 10 more cases.

If people stop acting like the world is going to end, maybe some ammo will actually gather some dust on the shelf. Eventually shotgunners are going to complain their way all the way back to being in bowling leagues.

Yup, everyone just stick your head in the sand and it will all go away.

So, your solution? No use blowing off the preceeding poster if you don't understand what to do yourself. Otherwise, you are just griping too.

My suggestions include letting your local, status and Federal leaders know we need more virus vaccines, testing, protective gear, safe return to work and return to schools, policing that "Serves and Protects", legislators who "Serve and Protect", better communications (both listening and information distribution), libel and disinformation laundering in social networks, and extraction of anonymous corporate money from elections. Among hundreds of other things to truly get us to One Nation, Under God. I'm sure your own opinions and desired path to the future may vary. That is the main gift the Founder's gave you!

good luck, garrisonjoe

I have had to lay off pretty much since 2016 for health reasons for me and my wife. Covid last year.Am registered for some regionals etc. Shell shortage is something most don't need. I have plenty for the year, but am concerned for the entire industry. Let's not argue about it but just figure how to make it better. Thanks.

Winchester light targets for $64.99 a flat.

Talked to a guy, got some Winchester super targets at Bass pro for 85 a case, forgot to ask if limit on number you could buy.

About 4-5 weeks ago, could get this locally for 52 a case.

I thought Dicks was out of the ammo/gun business.

buy it when you can afford it, buy it when it's cheap, and don't be picky about what's available, buy it, go shoot.

Bought 4 flats of Clever RX 1 for $ 78 a flat this week and was glad to get them! With what I already have on hand this should last me the rest of this year. Hope the supply is better next year but I really don't expect to pay the same price for shells I was paying a year ago any time in the near future

florida,

I don't either and this is what I have been talking about! When we have shortages of anything and then they are no more, their price will never go back to what it was before and that is a fact.

Good news is LGS had pallets of Federal Top Gun 1200fps 1 1/8 ounce #7 1/2. Bad news is they were $99.99 a flat with a limit of 1 flat.

Let them rot on the pallet.

To me, this is apart of the post so please don't tell me that it doesn't belong here because it is apart of our discussion.

I just saw this when I opened my mail this morning and I wanted it to make a point.

Biden Rushes To Address Global Computer Chip Shortage With His Latest Executive Order.

Another shortage just as history predicted. This is the trail that most others follow. Now, please explain this shortage to me. I can't really explain it to myself other than following our past history. Yes, one shortage follows another, then another. I think ALL of these shortages this time are brought on by politics.

Keep watching all of the Second Amendment challenges and the different ways the far left is trying to take away our rights and our guns. Curly, I mentioned guns here so I think I am legal. I just want all shooters and gun owners that are on this board to open their eyes and pull their heads out of the sand. I know I will be flamed but that's okay because I am standing up for the Constitution and America. If some of you disagree with me, that's fine because when reading our constitution you have that right and I respect it.
