I got back into archery a year ago. Bought a hybrid longbow. I called my son and told him to bring my old compound that I used to elk hunt with over. I gave it to him 20 years ago and it has just been sitting in storage. I couldn't pull it back and thought the wheels had seized up or something. Took it to the bow shop and they put it on their scale. 68 pounds the same it was 30 years ago. I couldn't get close to breaking it over. I couldn't believe it. Now I am shooting a traditional bow at 35 pounds and having a great time. Last winter I shot about every day. This winter I haven't been out once because of the weather. Have started to make my own cedar arrows. Good hobby because I can shoot in my backyard. However, can't wait for the weather to get nice so I can burn some powder. It has been a long winter.

Calvin, I grew up just south of you in Montana 16 miles south of the border. Have the ducks and geese come back north yet?

Haven't seen them where I'm at just yet
Just saw some sale this morning and prices are coming down. Not what I want, but that life.

Never thought I'd live to see the day that 50 BMG would be cheaper to shoot than 338 Lapua. Five bucks around for 338 Lapua. Under $4 per round for 50 BMG.
It's been cheaper for a long time.
Less than $600 a 1000 when I bought mine but it's been a while.

If one buys factory ammo….the .30-378 has to take the stupid overpriced cake!!!
Anything Weatherby from Weatherby has always been stupidly expensive. Started loading rifles 40 years ago just for that. Before, only loaded handguns.
With my dallor per hour and started, you could reload for about $0.07 per round and factory was about $0.25 per round. had to go about 45 miles to boot for. 300 H & H ammo.

My LGS has been slowly increasing their inventory of ammo over the last year and their prices are within the $5 to $7 dollars of pre-scamdemic and pre Ukraine invasion. Though I had much of my inventory in place before both of these events so I wasn't too worried. However, finding .22-250 has been a challenge.
Of course if I want it bad enough I'll pay the going price but for now I'll wait until the prices drop a little more.
