With my "larger than squirrel" hunting days all but over and 60 staring me right in the face, I'm at the lowest firearm inventory I've had in 30+ years. Somewhat to my surprise, I'm actually comfortable with it.

--maybe ammo manufacture can catch up, also-- Within the last month, I have been able to get back up to inventory on everything but rimfire. Last year, I stopped using overpriced and underavailable .22LR, resorting to my HW springer. After sorting out a few issues and rediscovering the fine qualities of a good air rifle, I don't think I'll be returning to the level of .22LR consumption of my earlier days even when that ammo situation improves.

-don't really have a way to judge overall demand here, but the Walmart shelves empty quickly--even with a three box limit per customer--

Don't sell yourself short. John Buhmiller was quite a bit older when he took off to Africa to test his cartridge designs on buff and elephant.
