Have You given up or cut down on shooting during the ammo shortage?

No.
I keep HD/SD ammo and shoot most of whatever else I can find.
The only thing that is still very scarce is .22lr.

I haven't changed my shooting habits but I don't shoot nearly as much as some do, or as much as I'd like to. I prolly go 2-3 times a month and shoot 50-100 rounds each time. That doesn't take a lot of ammo. Now, if I'm running a bit low on ammo for a particular caliber, I'll take something else, but I always have enough on hand to go shoot something.

I cast and reload so... no.

I reload and stocked up after the last shortage so this last one hasn't caused me to changed the amount I shoot. I have had to come up with different loads since some powders and bullets seem to have disappeared. For the most part I have been able to replenish most of my reloading supplies that I have used since this shortage began.

Been shooting bow and pellet rifle since all this BS started, mostly because the whole situation just cheeses me off so much.
Irrational? Yep, but I get cranky like that.

Now get off my lawn.

No. I roll my own and laid in a fair supply of components. Also have been able to get more locally and on line.Depending on whats available I may switch calibers for a while, but not cutting back.

More dry firing, catch up on reloading and working up loads for guns.
I don't burn up near as much as before even though I am sitting on plenty of ammo and supplies. I guess I see it kind of like having a 1000 gallons of gas at my place but seeing gas lines at the station. I'm going to go easy on that gas I have at home until the lines receed.
I want to see if there is going to be a new normal after this panic subsides before I decide what will be regular ammo consumption.

I voted NO, but I have cut down on range visits, but not due to the shortage, due to family time issues. I have been reloading more and shooting mostly my reloads instead of the factory stuff.
Except for some 308, all centerfire ammo I've shot since December has been my loads.
9, 38spcl, 223, 45 ACP, 45 Colt, and 40.

My shooting has picked up

I will actually say my shooting has picked up during the shortage, but only for centerfire. Being a handloader I roll my own, and when I saw the drumbeat start in December I laid in a healthy stock of all I was in short supply of. That kept me shooting my pistols and rifles for a few months until I began to run out of bullets. I foresaw the primer and powder shortage, but I never figured component bullets would dry up.

My answer has been casting my own. My LGS had some molds on the shelf, and a furnace and wheelweights weren't too hard to come by. now with my bullet costs around $30.00 per thousand for 357 and 9mm, my shooting has picked up in a big, big way.

I have not bought a box of factory centerfire ammo during the shortage, and only my rimfire addiction has slowed.

I reload & have been stocked up for years
No problems
I purchased a box of Federal 22s last Nov & some 243's 2 years ago.
That's all the new ammo I have purchased in many many years

I answered no because I reload and have plenty of inventory. The reality is that due to my kids getting older, I have been shooting less as they require more time but it wasn't because of the ammo shortage.

I have pretty much stopped, I sighted in some rifles but have not gone shooting.

I've switched to mostly shooting .22 air rifle, since I'm pretty low on .22LR which is what I normally shoot.

New shooter here (Feb), im going every weekend, sometimes twice per

I've shot very little, except to sight in and test new firearms when purchased. I've got a couple years worth of ammo if I shot regularly, but I don't anymore.

Nope. I have stopped buying factory ammo for the time being and I'm just reloading it all. Probably shooting more now than I have in years.

I've slowed down on shooting rounds that I buy from the factory, but I've stepped up my shooting of the rounds I reload (so it sort of evens out).

I mostly shoot rimfire which has seen a huge adverse reaction with supply. So yes I have only been able to go out 3 Xs this yr.

I cut down due to scarecity, funny enough I still find .22LR from time to time but 9mm is IMPOSSIBLE to find here in Oklahoma.

I shoot .223, .22LR, .38 SPL, .357 MAG, .40S&W, 7.62x54R (got a spam can) and occasionally 12Ga but my local range doesn't like Buck/birdshot much since it's tears up target stands.

Pretty much stopped. I have a bunch of components but resupply is a pain in the neck. I'm not going to spend a bunch of time online sorting through inefficient websites just to be told "unavailable" over and over.

I'll just go fishing until the situation returns to normal.

I haven't shot since the panic started in December. the past 3 or 4 years I was shooting every weekend. sometimes twice a week. I honestly don't expect to start shooting again until prices fall and ammo is fully stocked at walmart.

at this rate Id imagine thats gonna be next year sometime. maybe longer.

I reload my own.
Although primers are as scarce as hen's teeth,
I have a reserve that I bought last August.

I also just started casting.
I very kind soul over in the trading post (otrman) sold me some VERY clean lead.
50 pounds for $60.

(There are 7,000 grains in a pound.)
so I get about 350 bullets per pound.

I also got a 4 ft section of lead water pipe for free.
with the free pipe I was able to make 45 Colt bullets for abt 7¢ a piece
(50*7=$3.50 a box)

I shoot air pistol, free pistol, and black powder...and stocked up on all supplies years ago. What shortage?

I haven't shot in a while but that's only due to a new wife, stepson and baby on the way
But I haven't given up on shooting. Just have to keep my priorities straight and family comes first!
