Club trap range used to have 25-30 shooters shooting 20 squads on a normal Sunday morning. Our trap range is closed and has been for a month. Can't buy shells and powder, primers and shot are nonexistent.
I believe the supply is being manipulated and most of the kids are not serious shooters, no instant gratification. The older serious shooters are giving up due to supply and/or aging.
The millions of new guns are being sold for protection.... not sport or recreation. Those folks buy 2 boxes of shells and they will last for a lifetime. THE SUPPLY IS NOT CATCHING UP.
The left realized they could not get our guns.... but they can control the ammunition.
