We all shoot and we all run out of raw material towards that end.  This was supposed to be a way to get everyone in the swing of the new shooting season.  You did read the end date of April 30th, right?

You will observe in both levels only one item was required to gain that title.

Since you are referring to recent events with the hysteria of the Chinese Flu may I remind you of our near history in the shooting world of four, five, and six years ago.

Panic is when those who are ignorant and dumber than a box of hammers race out and buy up a load of stuff beyond what they would normally use if the same was spread out over a normal time period, i. e. your toilet paper.

Panic is also what shooters experienced when they miscalculated their shooting rate and the rate of replenishment in worst case scenarios.

Hoarding is a term used by losers who are subconciously angry at themselves for not properly calculating their shooting rate and the rate of replenishment in worst case scenarios and are jealous of those who did.  This would be the story of Aesop's Fables The Ant and the Grasshopper.

And there are the smart folks who have learned from history and the nature of man and the world in which he lives.  The Mormons, Amish, and my folks who were children of the Great Depression come to mind.

But back to the challenge.  Can't buy 16 pounds, buy one or two 1 pounders if that is what you need for the season.  Can't buy ten 500 count boxes of bullets?  Buy two 50 counts.  Need primers?  Get a box of primers.  Get two if you can afford it.  They won't go bad.

I could go on but I feel the fun being sucked out of my soul having to defend what was supposed to be a fun challenge.
