Seems to me there is a very obvious absence of waterfowling shot shells as we head into the fall. Anyone know if shelves will get restocked or are we going to be throwing rocks at some point this season.

Crazy.

Rogers is out or nearly out. I didn't look at Able but suspect their shelves are nearly depleted too.

Raw materials in short supply, makes components in short supply, equals finished goods in short supply. Too much $ chasing too few goods. It is in every industry for manufactured goods. I don't see supply chain issues clearing up until 2023 now at the earliest. If current economic policies persist, it will be longer than that. Don't be surprised if the price is 30-40% more by next year. Manufacturers cannot meet demand, and ammo is largely an onshore based industry, so we're not waiting for the boat to dock, at least for finished goods. They simply can't get the materials to assemble. PPG and Sherwin Williams just released earnings, their CEO's discussed their inability to get enough raw materials to make enough paint to meet demand. I'm 62, I've seen this playbook once before, and it isn't pretty. Keep your hard assets. And buy shells when you can find them as mentioned above.
