For themselves, yes, totally agree. But seeing the impact on new and young shooters is really sad. Now is a bad time to be coming of age and/or getting into shooting.
Agreed, it's really sad seeing my nephew cutting back on his shooting, he's 11 now, and has been an avid shooter since he was 8, i described the previous ammo shortage to him and he was skeptical, no way could it have been that bad.....
....now he knows, I wasn't lying, and this shortage is worse.....
however, even out of the bad times comes good, he now sees the importance of having a decent stash (he always wondered why I was so frugal with my ammo stash, wanting to shoot as much as possible every range session), and has started his own stash, back when he could buy .22 ammo, he would buy two boxes, shoot one, store one, sadly, the shortage hit just after he started his S-O-S-O strategy
He has also learned the importance of a backup plan, pellets and BB's are still widely available and trigger time is trigger time no matter what's being shot, his Red Ryder may not be as accurate as his Ithaca 49, or my Stevens 414 Short he covets, but it's better than not shooting
He also learned the importance of being able to load your own, I've taught him how to load for my .30-06, my .44-40, 20 gauge and his own 28 gauge, we were able to set him up with his own MEC Jr 28G press, a brick of Winchester 209's, wads, propellant and a bag of #8 lead shot for Christmas.....
