Holy crap! I may just have to start bow hunting during rifle season.

A broadhead tipped carbon arrow these day is about a conservative $40 a shot.

Makes me LOL when I think about the time I emptied my quiver at a roosted turkey in moderate winds 20+ years ago.

Go buy some core loks for $35.00, go practice, and kill an elk. These custom rounds are a bunch of bs. Better yet go handload.

That’s a big part of it. Any time they need to set a line up for specialty ammo it’s going to cost a lot more/round. Seems like Federal is putting all kinds of fancy options together which chokes out production capabilities and ends up leading to decreased efficiencies and increased cost to the customer. I was in this industry for 8 years as a manufacturing engineer. Hard to keep direct labor people in manufacturing especially when McDonald’s is paying similar wages. You can’t have high turnover when you produce ammo, so in order to curb that pay needs to increase.

I get it, but I can take the same $100 a dozen practice arrows and shoot them thousands of times.

They were available the whole time if you were creative. It was available here for the most part. I shipped or loaded for quite a few members till I got burnt by one.

Yup. The main components I have had issues finding are primers. Oh and Hornady .358 diameter 200 grain FTX bullets for my .35 Rem.

Saw a lot of primers today at the cabelas in Indiana. Every flavor of CCI and some bricks of fed205m.

Just as an add on, it's affecting my bird shot as well.View attachment 255112

The art on that box looks like a cover for a video game. The graphics look like graffiti, i guess I'm not cool or something , but I'll go ahead and get some " legendary performance" out of some cheaper imported shells and keep the other $50 for beer and entertainment.
