I'd really like to practice with my new g19 and get good with the RDS on it, but 9mm ammo is unobtainium in my area...

I might take some blackpowder items out to the range, just to shoot a bit.

Pretty lucky...
LGS put in new state of art range. Will sell 9mm at 14.99-17.99/50 and .45 at 17.99-20.99/50 if you shoot there. I have enough, however, not shooting mine at our outdoor range for the those prices. Not sure how long his fort will last... |

I got into archery about 6 months back due to my kiddo being interested.
Absolutely love it and so does he. I'd suggest that. Edit: Here is an actual gif of me shooting my bow  |

Maybe pick up a 6mm Creedmoor. You can still get 6mm for normal price.
I'm going to go order another case of Prime for my HMR.  Attached File |

Took my oldest out early Saturday morning. Beautiful, sunny day with temps in the upper 30's and the sun to our backs.
Dusted off my .22 Hornet for the first time in almost a decade, son had his Savage 62f. Had a blast ringing steel a little past 100 yards. The little Hornet got some good groups too:  Attached FileI don’t really care what it costs, can't place a price on quality time with loved ones. Availability is a little concerning, but I've been able to stack .22LR pretty well the past few years. Doing 'ok' on most reloading components. |

I got into shotgunning.
The trap/skeet range I go to is run by the state of missouri. $4 a round of 25. The sporting clays course is run by Illinois at the world shooting complex. $35 for a hundred. Both prices are pretty decent, imo I even bought a Yildiz 20 gauge for it. It does work on skeet. I think a 12 would have been better for sporting clays. Since it's winter and nobody else comes around, I like to go to the skeet range and just pick a station or 2, and just stay there for 25 rounds and just hammer it out |

Quoted: I got a new rifle right before Christmas that I wanted to go test out. took her up to the range and went to 25 yards to get on paper. Every time I pulled the trigger, in my head "buck-fifty, buck-fifty, buck-fifty" . My BIlL shots a 30-378. “Seven dollars, seven dollars, seven dollars.” That gun never made sense to me unless you reload. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Wait until they try and ban military style ammo, etc. Yep, that's likely the route they'll take. I don't think they'll go for a full on ban or magazine capacity limit. No civilian ownership of 'military' calibers will be the compromise.  They already do this in Europe and South America. ETA: And if legislation won't work, the SJW army will pressure the manufacturers to halt sales to civilians. Remember, Vista Outdoors is known to be left leaning and holds a large portion of ammo manufacturing in the US. |

Every time I pulled the trigger, in my head "buck-fifty, buck-fifty, buck-fifty" I got on paper and backed out to 100 and started on groups to see what this rifle was capable off. four five round groups later, I realized I had shot about 40 bucks worth of ammo and was just getting started. And worse, every time I pulled the trigger, I wasn't sure when or where I was gonna be able to get components to reload that case again. I have enough bullets for maybe 5-6 hundred loads, but who knows when I can replace that. It was painful. I finally switched to the .22 to get some more time on the trigger. The good news is the rifle shot amazingly. I was super happy. Especially with off the shelf ammo. I think I can do better with handloads when I get the time and financial courage to work up a load. The average man in the Founding Fathers time would have thought a person who had as much ball and powder as you do quite wealthy. You should be conserving your ammo right now. |

I feel pretty stupid myself. I stocked up on everything rifle and pistol over the years -- including rimfire.
But I neglected to stock on up #7.5 and #8 for sporting clays cuz in the back of my mind I figured they'd always be available. Now I can't go to the club to practice.

You should have bought more ammo OP. I went to the range Saturday and Sunday. Blew through 200 rounds on Saturday and 250 on Sunday. Didn’t once consider the price of ammo. Maybe in a couple years when my stockpile dwindles I will. Everyone here’s has enough time to hoard ammo.

I still shoot but tend to prioritize ammo to things like dot torture and other drills, so I still get good practice but conserve ammo where I can. I've got plenty of ammo but I'm still trying to conserve it since it's not easy to replace right now.

I didn’t think we were supposed to shoot guns, just post pics.
My BIL has 8 cartridges of 243 left. His kid used one on a coyote this weekend so now 7. I told him last year to start buying but he didn’t. Told him again last weekend to buy it when he sees it. He didn’t seem interested just pissed. Even if I had some I wouldn’t share. Non voters are as bad as Libs and his wife is a Lib so 2 people not on my side. |
