I'd like to do some classes. Where are you a member at? The last time I went to the range it was about a 45 min wait and that was before the ammo shortage really kicked in.

Trap shooting is awesome. The last time I did it was off the back of the Disney Cruise.....Apex wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 10:26 am
Wifey and I tried our hands at sporting clays yesterday. Much different than the range time we’ve had before but this was so much fun! It was at a club where we know a couple members but we’ve been invited back anytime we want. I’m gonna need to find more shells since they have these every Sunday.
I shot 17/50 which was way better than I was expecting. Very happy with spending a stimulus check on my over/under.
It was so much fun! I was joking yesterday that I wasn’t sure if it was a good thing that Sue likes this stuff as much as me… it gets expensive real quick!Irish wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 11:55 amTrap shooting is awesome.

Nice. What other O/Us did you look at?Apex wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 12:49 pm Waiting on the “instant” NICS check to come back, but I paid for another CZ on Sunday. Pic from the googles for reference.
CZ Drake over/under in 20ga.
Should be fun to bust some clays with. Plus, I feel fancy as hell holding the thing. I should be riding a stagecoach wearing a monocle fancy.
Pieces are wrapped in blue crushed velvet inside the case.
I looked at a bunch of stuff when I got the Drake. Berettas, Remington, Mossberg, etc. I wasn’t set on an O/U so I looked at semis, pumps, O/Us… This one felt “right”.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 12:30 pmNice.

There used to be a few places in the Poconos where you could pay to fire all manner of hand cannons......
How much did you pay? I have a Ruger Red Label O/U for trap and such but I always use semi-auto in the field. I've gotten a fair number of birds on the third shell.
$599. They’ve gone up to ~$650 now.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 1:15 pmHow much did you pay? I have a Ruger Red Label O/U for trap and such but I always use semi-auto in the field. I've gotten a fair number of birds on the third shell.
That seems like a lot of gun for $600.Apex wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 1:26 pm$599. They’ve gone up to ~$650 now.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 1:15 pm

Especially since the stimmy check was $600.
I’ve never found the rifle range to be all that fun but shooting clays is a blast. 17/50 is pretty solid. I remember at Boy Scout camp I took the shotgun shooting merit badge class, practiced every day all week, and still failed to hit the 25/50 required to get the merit badge.Apex wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 10:26 am

it was a cool thing to have tried, would do again if the opportunity ever arises.Funny enough the only other time I’ve shot clays was in Boy Scouts many many years ago.D Griff wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 9:31 pmI’ve never found the rifle range to be all that fun but shooting clays is a blast. 17/50 is pretty solid.

$4k race guns don’t exactly sell the same as a 9mm Glock.
s with insane weapons Staches. I don’t really get it … after 2k bullets the fk you gonna do?What’s “insane” to you?
I don't understand how there can be a gun/ammo shortage in a country that is not in an active war. So I think a lot of this can be attributed to some sort of ammo hoarding. It's a self feeding cycle just like with Toilet paper. "if I see ammo I am buying it all because price will go up or I won't find any tomorrow" mentality.Apex wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 2:15 pmWhat’s “insane” to you?
(I don’t mean to come across as attacking or anything like that)
Plenty of people out there that collect different firearms that have large collections.
Competition shooters will easily shoot 10’s of thousands of rounds a year; a lot of recreational shooters will do thousands of rounds a year too.

Since COVID, there are over 8million new gun owners. Every month has been record number of background checks completed, until last month I believe.max225 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 2:31 pmI don't understand how there can be a gun/ammo shortage in a country that is not in an active war.

Supply chain issues caused a shortage on the manufacturing side in late ‘19 and early ‘20; and the added demand from millions of new gun owners cleaned out the shelves. CEOs of the manufacturing companies are stating they may not get back to pre-COVID levels of supply until 2022. And pricing may never come down to pre-COVID levels.
