American Flag Made From Ammo

If you’re like most shooters, you’ve probably noticed the current ammo shortage. Some say it’s due to the COVID-19 pandemic shutting or slowing down the factories that manufacture the ammunition. Others say it’s a reflection of customers stockpiling. Whatever the reason, factory ammo is almost as hard to find these days as “white gold” (a.k.a. “toilet paper”) was early on in the pandemic.

What’s an NRA Woman to do? Well, if you don’t feel like learning to reload your own ammunition right now (and components are also becoming harder to come by) just make these sites (helpfully listed in alphabetical order) part of your daily checklist.

Manufacturers are working hard to meet consumer demand, shipments are going out, and some retailers do have stock from time to time. When prompted, add your name to waitlists if necessary, and sooner or later, you’ll be notified that your ammo of choice is back in stock. When that happens, act quickly to purchase lest you lose your place in line!
