Shell availability would be something each hosting club would have to make known, not the association.

I would think ammo makers are filling orders as they are and have been received. Military and law enforcements will get first priority. If a club, facility, wholesale or distributor did not have an order in when this shortage hit, then I doubt any priority will be given over those who did.

right, im not seeing anything on any of the sites for state shoots about vendor attendance ... so wondering if anyone knows if the hosts are planning on communicating and when

At least in my area, the big shell vendor does not know when he will receive the November order, the December order, or his January order. He’s always been excellent at keeping us informed, but at this point, nobody has the information you seek.

Can’t help but wonder if vendors know anymore than any of us who will be where or what will be what. Some States are open, some not yet. This is a day to day thing that has gone on for over a year now.

could be they dont ... going to be tough to show up to a 2 or 3 day event not knowing if you'll be able to find shells. i reload so thought id be fine but am down to my last 2000 primer which doesnt last all that long

Unless things get better VERY SOON It's going to be a crap shoot . If you are driving to the state shoot, ( and HAVE shells) ,I would advise taking them along just in case ,even if you plan on buying shells there. I think some clubs ( if not several) will only be selling shells equal to the number of targets you have PAID FOR.

They don't know as the supply chain has a broken link.

Iam friends with two major distributors and neither have a clue about any shipments of ammo. Both say don't be hopeful till 2022.

Call the club and ask.

Our state association has ordered a pallet of shells just for the state shoot, whether we get them in time or not is the question. We will have to limit the purchase to only the events you have cashiered for unless it eases up on supply between now and June. My local club received a pallet last week from the same supplier, so we hope to have it in place before the shoot. Right now it's the best we can do.
