Gun shops

I think new/used firearm inventory and prices here are at pre-covid levels.
Reloading stuff like powder and large rifle primers is pretty expensive though. I did manage to get LRP for 80/1000 around Thanksgiving. Hopefully the reloading segment will settle down soon.
I know there is less traffic at the local ranges because of the ammo expense.

My local shop has an abundant supply of primers and bullets, but powder is still in limited supply. Prices seem to have stabilized at this shop.

I am probably good supply wise until the end of 2025 and maybe slightly beyond. At my age you can't plan too far ahead.

Same here at the ranges. Even when the weather was moderate around here in the fall there was significantly less traffic than previously years. Almost all the shooters I encounter these days are not precision shooters but blasters practicing for WWIII. They shoot their 50 to 100 rounds rapid fire then leave.

Yes the WWlll folks--new AR--20 minute range visit--blast two boxes of 20 then one 30 round mag dump the leave without picking up their target debris and chances are very high they were not members to start with--we have an open self service honor system range
Those idiots are dangerous--have the Wrong mindset from the start--give us all a bad image IMO

To the point--supply is decent--powders a little slim--used prices are high --new prices are good
Archery equipment and tuning etc is half the shops business looks like--that side is Very busy

Used guns are all ho hum Nothing sharp or of interest and all way over priced IMO
