I went to the Kittery Trading Post again last night, almost all powders out of stock, 100% of shotgun powders out of stock. There were half dozen bags of shot, all #6, price has increased to $54.99 plus 5% Maine sales tax. This is the highest retail price on a bag of shot I have ever seen.
I still have not seen a box or a brick of 22 LR this year. We will in a few short weeks have lost the entire summer for great number of youth to learn or practice shooting with a 22 in formal and informal settings. IMO the continued lack of availability of 22 rimfire is a very big threat to the future of shooting sports as we go forward.
