How has the ammo/component shortage affected your Shooting

[Gary Laudermilch]

I used to shoot about 8000 a year but to do that required a bunch of travel. Don't dp the travel thing much anymore preferring to stay more local so my shell consumption is down to 5-6 thousand, all reloads.

Because I always bought components in bulk for the economy of doing so I have enough on hand to get through this year and part of next. So, I do not expect to curtail my shooting at all. That is, if there is a place to shoot. I frequent four different clubs shooting clays and 5-stand and all are reporting their attendance at 40-50% or pre-pandemic/shortage levels. Comments have be made about cutting back on shoots because it is just not worth the effort. I hope that is not the case.

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 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.

I must of had a premonition of the coming ammo shortage, I started buying flats quite a bit, I am now sitting on about 28 flats. I go to various registered Sporting Clays events and there goes 100 rounds, I also shoot in a 5 Stand league and sporting clays at my local club and trap at other clubs so I go through a couple of flats a month. I continue to buy it when i see it, thank God for Walmart's
