Taking the article at face value the big question is, do you and I have enough ammo and components to shoot and hunt as you would like to until January 2024?
The summer cool down? What shooting sport experiences a summer cool down? Certainly not any of the shotgun sports, in fact I think summer would be peak demand for trap, skeet and sporting.
Very high prices have always been the cure for anything in short supply. Will prices go even higher from where they currently are to stabilize the market? With such demand and the potential for increased profit that must be a very tempting question for manufacturers and retailers alike at the present time. Personally I would rather see high prices and availability vs. empty shelves. That would stop the scalping and panic buying/hoarding to some extent. If the empty shelves continue into the fall I predict as far as the crazy high scalper's prices on GB so far, well you ain't seen nuthin' yet.
