20,000 people looking for ammo.

Midway has had 1,000,000 unique customers this year.

There is no where on the internet that is not out of stock for pistol bullets.

Magazines are sold out.

Ruger, the biggest gun manufacturer, is not taking any more orders.

Today I saw bricks of Rem Thunderbolt 22 ammo sell for $75 each.
And people were buying them.

There's a sucker born every minute.

What sane person thinks they need more than 100 rounds of ammunition
on hand????

Perhaps those of us that shoot more than 100 rds per session?


Last weekend, I fired 350 rds.

Too broke to pay your taxes but you can shoot ammo all day long.

Sounds like someone needs a field audit.

Gunner


Did you hit anything? Or just make a bunch of noise?



Oh..I generally hit something. Usually the target. Most of the time.
Usually. Lots of noise!!

Im getting old though. Sigh...I managed to address 5 targets and put a
round on each in a total of .65 seconds. average. I used to be in the
low .5s and once in a while would break .40. I did one string in
..47..so perhaps I can get some of it back.

That stroke 3 yrs ago slowed me down a bunch. Course Ive improved a
bunch, when I started shooting again a year after the stroke, I was
around 1.5 seconds for 5 rds. But...didnt take me long to speed up,
30 yrs of muscle memory. Shrug.

But Im not fast, compared to the good pros.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DpCellB_UQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=...ture=endscreen

But its not always speed shooting. In fact..speed shooting is really
contraindicated in many situations. It just teaches trigger control
and proper pointing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrs86ixxyIw

These guys are "real world" good. Recommeded watching!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ergt_jMLkww

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDOpEZejqiA

Btw..Id strongly recommend watching the Gunsight 250 videos. And
spending the bucks to go out there and learn.


When I go out to shoot, Ill generally shoot a couple hundred rounds
through the handguns, another 50-75 rds through the combat shotguns
and the rest through the rifles. Last weekend I was shooting the
rifles at 1000 yrds, just to keep the hand in, so to speak, between
relays with the pistols and combat shotguns.

I might dust off and oil up the clay pidgeon throwers one of these
days, Ive not shot trap or skeet in at least 4 yrs, and should keep my
hand in that too. Shrug. I traded some machine repair for a very
very pretty and minty, High Standard 20ga a year or so ago and its a
dream to shoot. I was busting hand tossed clays 2-3 at a time. Nice
gun, be great for skeet.

Ever get out my way, bring your toys and we can go bust some caps. We
both may learn something.

If you are feeling frisky, bring some spare Jacksons and we can shoot
for Presidents. Grin

All of them. Anyone who actually goes to the range with any regularity
knows that 100 rds is nothing.

So you have an expensive hobby.. I can see it if you are a target
shooter - but it's not target shooters that are causing the run on
ammo. It's nut-cases figuring they need enough ammo to run a private
or civil war for 4 years again.

Actually the run on ammo, guns, magazines, etc. is almost entirely first
time gun owners, many are asking me or others I know for advice on what
to buy. All the long time gun owners stocked up last election, have all
they need and in some cases are selling some surplus for a tidy profit.
As for expensive hobbies, I have many and shooting is one of the cheap
ones.

Well, flying is definitely more expensive, as is building the plane.
Cars too.

What I was getting at is, if you want to have an expensive hobby, you
don't complain about the price. It's your choice. If it's not a
hobby, having a lot of ammo sitting around does not make much sense.

I wouldn't want to stand in front of a .22 coming my way. They may be
small compared to others and not the highest velocity, but still very
deadly nonetheless.

Oh....like the US government, who bought 1.6 Billion rounds of ammo?
Enough to fight a war in Iraq for the next 26 yrs.

Gunner


Interesting:
http://www.mrconservative.com/2013/0...-of-civilians/

Law enforcement training to kill civilians, DHS buying 1.6 Billion rounds,
DHS buying ~3,000 armored assault vehicles for use in the USA. Why would
anyone be suspicious?

Over 50% of the world, duuuude. Keep watching the headlines for the
US, clare. Some elitist idiots in our gummint are about to pull
something very, very stupid. It's only a matter of time.

That's your parnoid conclusion. The USA will NEVER have more
restrictive gun laws than Canada - and anyone with an FAC can buy any
amunition they need in Canada at a "reasonable" cost. Can't buy it at
Wallmart or the corner store - but we can't buy liquor there either.


Had you thought my statement through, you might have come to a
different conclusion about what certain events may, um, trigger.
I'll wait for your brain to catch up.

Tell that to the people in Chicago..or Washington DC, or even New York
City.

VBG

You obviously dont know about certain gun laws in places around the
US.

In fact...Canada has about the same percentage of gun owners as
America, about 49-51%

And while Canada has a much smaller population, you have nearly as
many "battle rifles" as does the US

He married the Tom Skerrit's gorgeous deputy (Lauren Holly) in that

witchy hotness in Charmed.

He was pretty good in The Mask, but I couldn't watch the rest of his
crap, such as Dumb and Dumber.
