It is a very difficult time for business in general. The business I am involved in sells plumbing and electrical supplies. Common things that we have been buying and selling for decades, such as electrical outlets and rough-in boxes, cannot be obtained from our normal manufacturers. Lead times are ridiculous. We have had to search for new sources and still have difficulty getting certain items. You have to be creative and fluid in order to survive unless you are just setting on a huge pile of cash.

No impact so far, I am probably good for 2 years or more with my regular routine. It has had one positive effect in that I am cleaning out the odd ball stuff that I don't use any more. That left over 3 lb of Green Dot, the 400 Cheddites, the 400 paper hulls that have one reload left in them and the 500 RIO primers. All this needed to go anyway, perfect time. I only load for the 12 gauge, a 7/8 and a 1 oz load both with American Select. I was getting low on it until a member stepped in and helped me out, a lot !! Thanks !!

I don't have the stash of loaded shells that I used to have. However, all of the loaders are set up and working. To be honest, at 76 my components will probably outlive me. As ammo supplies wind down, I will probably switch from skeet and sporting clays to box birds and tower pheasant shoots. More expensive, but less taxing on the ammo supply. Everyone should have a "plan".

Those of us who know and love Morris Baker understand that RST isn't going anywhere.

I think that's highly accurate. I talked to him a few weeks ago, he's as upset about the shortage as anyone and just taking it day by day.

Thirty years ago when was into skeet/trap hard and heavy I wanted to get to the pigeon ring but finding an avenue wasn’t easy . And those that did kept telling me I’d be broke in two years as they figured I’d shoot every weekend and play all the purses . In hindsight after a slight introduction to Colombaire and box birds this past year they were most likely correct . But even in the shall we say twilight years I could still see myself shooting pigeon rings every chance I’d get just maybe not playing all the money . I’m not sure why I really like the pigeon ring , but I don’t care for pigeons at a tower shoot , go figure
