I was under the impression live bird shooting was the sport of royalty . I mean the big big boxbird shoot in Madrid isn’t called “The Kings Cup” for nothing .

I stopped at the Academy Sports in Fredericksburg yesterday. They had some Winchester Super X Upland loads at $10 a box.

The Sportsman's Warehouse in Fredericksburg never impressed me with their ammunition selection unless you like steel shot.

Get those grouse loads now before the prices go up and Virginia rams through the additional 11% tax on firearms and ammunition sales.

11% tax on guns and ammo

I thought Colorado's 6.5% excise tax was bad until I saw what Virgina is doing

Walmart still has Federal game loads for 12 and 20 ga at $35/ 100 round box, picked up 2 100 packs today in 20 ga. Shot size is 71/2 and 8s.

Suddenly, a 25 bird one day live bird shoot is about the price of a 200 bird one day clay target shoot. I haven't checked my arithmetic, but you get the idea. What's more fun?

And then there's the rampant profiteering all arounds us regardless of the product or commodity...

filled my tank at my usual Sunoco station here in town at $4.20/gal.

Later drove by a filling station a couple of miles away in the same town... $3.65...
