Our Walmarts are as dry as the Mojave Desert!!!

The shelves at BPS are the same. There are a few clay target shooting ranges that will sell you ammo for targets. One or two of these clubs are out of shells as well. Good Luck Y'all finding ammo at your big shoots this year. break em all Jeff

I could tell you but people get mad at me. If you know what to do, you can get what you need at a reasonable price.

I took my daughter to Walmart this afternoon in NW Arkansas to do some mothers day shopping and I went through the sporting goods section. There was 10 boxes of STS' for $7.87, some 100 packs of AA's for $29, and several Estate 100 packs for $22. There was even some Remington 30-06, .243, 45-70 and a few .22LR.

Not to worry, that guy in the video says they are working 24/7, making ammo as fast as they can.

Most stores in our area have ZIP for target shells. Out local Wally world got in about 10 boxes of AAs mixed 1250 and 1200 FPS and had about 3 boxes of Win. Super Targets . This is the FIRST Target ammo they had in MONTHS ! They limited you to 3 boxes and the stuff was gone in hours as soon as word got out. At one of the clubs I shoot at people are all finding shells very hard to find . Some are saying they are very worried about shells availability at the Grand and may not attend if the Grand cannot assure there will be enough shells available. Our state is holding it's spring championships this month and as far as I know no one from our area is going. They are saving their shells for the surrounding state shoots. Some clubs are really worried about having enough shells on hand for their up coming state shoots. One of the guys I shoot with heard they had some shells at one of the Sporting goods stores in the area . He went there and was told he could buy ONE BOX ! I know these people are freaking CLUELESS when it comes to clay target shooting but it if very frustrating to drive a long way to get ammo and be told BS like that ! I know the ammo companies are running 24/7 but with all the hoarding and the fact that the heavy shooting season is JUST NOW getting started , it will take a LONG TIME to catch up. I don't think the outlook is very bright for the near future .

I wonder how many hoarders are causing all of this? 1...5? Thousands? More than that?

In NJ, big-box stores are prohibited from carrying firearms or ammunition. So that leaves the mom/pop stores. 5 of the 6 that I visit in the north of the state are dry and getting nothing anytime soon, the one mid-size store usually has a few flats of Win Super-Targets for $110 per. I stopped buying those at $80. That was in February.

I made some connections with a couple of sporties that get AA’s through their clubs and taking their spent hulls @ .05 ea. Came home with another 1k today and now I’m deep enough on hulls/supplies to get me into September. After that, who knows...

Easy with that Sporties comment or you’ll end up in trouble. Real trapshooters never run into situations they have to rely on weirdos that shoot that junk.

Very little supply in the Southeast Valley of AZ. Timing is everything at Wally World with a 2 box limit.

LOL! I never claimed to be a real trapshooter! In fact, this is my first season at it and I picked the worst possible time to start. Besides, desperate times call for desperate measures and I can take weird all day long if it means i keep the press running!

Hey, I'm a trap shooter, but I sure love me some sporties too. Unfortunately, it's way too easy to get in trouble here. Anyway, 4 box limits seem be be common up here in WI, if you're lucky enough to find it.

Hope shooters boycott stores like the one you mention.

You people need to stop confusing me. First you say big box stores are evil, WalMart puts mom and pops out of business and we should support the mom and pops. Now, you all are saying the opposite.

Around here the ammo sitch stinks like a hot car full of fat shad.

 

[Steve W]

We've been through this before, many times.

Ammo shortage will over just like toilet paper and bottled water shortage last year.
Now bottled water is stacked like mountains, and Charmin TP is $5 off at local Costco.

 

[flashmax]

Shortages and long lines were a feature of Soviet Union communism.
Enjoy the free sample of things to come.

The manager of my local gun club told me today that he has not heard when his next shipment of shells and components will arrive. He also said the buyers don't know when they will receive shells.

I think I will lay off of shooting anything until I see a break in the action, and save the small number of shells I have left for a major shoot.

I have a local gun club that is selling Federal Top Gun flats for $72.

At todays prices I guess they are a bargain.
