With the potential changes coming and the recent availability issues how is your range time going to be spent? I understand that some folks have access to ammo courtesy of their employer. For the everyday gun owner, who for the time being, has seen ammo vanish from store shelves what can they do? For example if you currently have a 10K per year expenditure, do you cut back to 50%? Taking it further, do you then spend half the time you once did at the range? Do you shoot 50% rim fire and the other 50% centerfire? Do you spend the same dollar amount and shoot what you can?
Also, when it comes to teaching and instructing I really feel for the new gun owner, who for the time being is limited in the number of quality choices out there. I have heard and witnessed examples of people buying whatever was in stock without putting any thought into the purpose of the gun. Kind of makes it difficult to suggest a student checks out gun X only to find that gun x is out of stock with no further info available. Also class round count, makes it hard for students to bring 500 rounds per day when they can't find 50.
For myself, I go through at least 12K per year on the low side, with 2-300 per week, plus classes I attend and teach. My personal plan remains unchanged at this time. However, if things are taking a turn for the worse or supplies don't loosen up in 6 months I may start shooting several very specific drills in rotation. For example, the 99 drill is what I consider a fantastic way to improve and be very focused. That would take me to roughly the 50% consumption mark and still force me to improve. I would certainly shoot others in rotation but that specific drill comes to mind. You just have more options when you know you can go through 2-300 today.
Just looking for insights and thoughts from others. I know there is much panic out there, but honestly I have seen this before and am not surprised or empty handed.
