I know that some folks have suggested that there must be some conspiracy causing the ammunition shortages. I'd like to give you an alternate theory: there are many new shooters entering the sport and buying guns. Instead of buying a box of ammunition, they're buying a case (if they can find it).
I'll offer as evidence my experience tonight. I've been an officer at the Wayland Rod & Gun Club for 8+ years. In years past, we would typically get between 0 and 2 new applicants at a monthly meeting. Three applicants was a rare event.
Earlier this year, at one meeting we had 8 new applicants. Tonight we had 8 new applicants. In other words, in two monthly meetings we had as many new members join as we would normally have in an entire year.
