[QUOTE="FrankNmac, post: 3405829, member: 41074"] These are just some random observations I have made over the past couple of months at our local outdoor gun range compared to the past couple of years. These are primarily weekends in the morning (8-10:30am) with some late afternoon sessions tossed in there. * Most times there is our small (2-5) group of shooters at the pistol range and nobody else. I know the summer heat plays a role, but we had summers the past couple of years also. I think the higher prices and lack of availability of handgun ammo (especially 9mm) have impacted turnout. * For those of our group who reload, the brass scavenging has been less fruitful. Probably from fewer shooters and maybe more people picking up their brass to reload. * Our group of shooters is shooting less ammo, We used to do more drills and volume shooting, but now the focus is shorter sessions on accuracy and being more intentional with our shooting. The driver of this is the ammo availability/price. * Some of our group have changed from 9mm to .22 shooting because it is less expensive and more readily available than 9mm. * Some of our group are so concerned about being able to replenish their 9mm supply that they are saving their last few hundred rounds until they are able to more readily get 9mm. *Finally, everyone wishes they had bought more 9mm when it was available in bulk at cheaper prices! :cry11: What are you all seeing in your areas?
