Just got the following note from Ryan Bronson of Federal Premium Ammo. This is the first time I can recall this every being done since I've been working with youth shooting programs. This could also have a serious impact on our statewide shooting camp this summer. Yup, obamanation and his ilk are making an impact on our youth alright.
"Dear Youth Shooting Sports program leader:
As many of you have learned by visiting your local retailers, .22LR ammunition has become difficult to find. We continue to crank it out by the millions every day from our Federal and CCI plants, but like 4 years ago the demand is outpacing production capacity. However, with our backorder list being as extensive as it now is we have had to make the decision to suspend the youth discount direct sale program until we can service your orders in a more reasonable time.
Top Gun and Estate shotshells are more available at retailers, but we have an extensive backlog of orders for these products as well and we also are suspending the youth discount direct sale program as well.
We cannot provide an estimate of how long this program will be suspended.
We are also suspending donations of ammo to 4H leader training, Boy Scout Camp Schools, and other traditional adult training programs that we have supported.
We hope to get shotshells orders that are already on the books out in time for April seasons. If you have an existing order, please be patient and know that we will fill it as soon as we can. Calling our customer service office won’t speed things along any more.
