Gun ranges will be a lot emptier

[zembonez]

There is not an ammo shortage. There is an asshole surplus. Ammo prices will even back out. This isn't the first time we've seen this kind of hysteria.

I disagree, I think with the amount of weapons sold people will want to use them. Ranges will be absolutely packed and reloaded ammunition (purchased @ the range) will become the status quo.

Shoot Smart has been overflowing all day. 7 hour wait on the private lanes, 2 to 3 hours on the main lanes. Good thing fewer people are shooting.

Gas prices never kept me from going for a joyride...I sure as helm won't let ammo prices keep me from enjoying my hobby.

There was a 2 hour wait for a lane at the local indoor range. It was actually the busiest that I had ever seen it. I may have to rethink the OP....
I won't name the range since there is a lot of animosity on here about the owner.

I want to know if some ranges are still holding tac classes? With each person shooting 2-3000 rounds during a session, do they have enough ammo on hand for them?

2 to three THOUSAND? lol

2 to three THOUSAND? lol

Possibly total rounds for all participants.

Also depending on the class, I know tiger valley puts on some that require a pretty large ammunition investment.

Wouldn't it make sense for a range to stock up on huge caches of ammo themselves considering their business depends on people having ammo? IMO ammo availability will come back, but not at the prices that we've seen earlier this month because of the demand of new shooters and people stockpiling again.
