How bad is this stuff hurting the gun ranges?

[JMS]

I can't imagine too many people are shooting at ranges recently...ammo is too precious to blow through.

I was supposed to hit Heartland this week with a Buddy, needless to say we called it off.

This ordeal had no affect on the match at Heartland sunday night. There were 30-35 peeps, which from my limited experience is a bit more than usual.

If you are like me and have enough handgun ammo and components to weather the storm, there's no reason to alter your shooting habbits. The only real long term effect of this fiasco is that come summertime there should be some good deals on ar's in the used market. That and maybe we won't be able to purchase new "hi-cap" magazines. But the market will be so saturated with used ones, it will probably have little effect.

Every time I have driven by 2A or Tulsa Firearms, they have looked busy. I haven't been to an indoor range in months though, so I don't know if its different from normal.

Drove by GunWorld....didn't look very busy to me.

For me, the high prices have taken the fun out of it. I can have a lot more fun spending $100+ at a restaurant with friends than shooting for 30-45 minutes at the range.

There's something wrong if you are spending $100 on a 35-40 minutes trip at the range.
