As many of you are probably aware the annual Cheyenne Wells machine gun shoot was canceled and never took place in 2011 we were so disappointed. If we hear of a machine gun shoot in 2012 we will be placing it here on our site.

Not that long ago important knowledge was passed from the old generations to the new, food preparations, hunting, fishing, values, trust, honor and your name is only as good as your word is a favorite of mine.

Knowledge in reloading was one of the treasures that was passed down and is all but lost to this generation, and I dare state the next generation will not even know the term.

Several years ago everyone was hard pressed looking for ammo, varying calibers were almost nonexistent. Many people realized that without ammo their firearm was only a good club. Quickly the ammo disappeared from retailer’s shelves and most retailers had a hard time replenishing the small supply of ammo, if they could order it at all from their distributor it was limited and the cost kept escalating.

There were two types of people who had ammo at this time, those who were well supplied and those who reproduced and reloaded their own ammo. Although most avid shooters were alarmed and shocked by the shortage of ammo, many without ammo, vowed they would not be deceived again. However, as with all things time passes, the ammo returned and all is well with the world.

I think, why not have it both ways, knowledge and experience to reload as well as a good supply.

Rick and I are NRA instructors for reloading, we also have reloading benches set up for people who want to reload but for whatever reason can’t do it at their residence. Many people learn how to reload on their own, or are blessed to have a tutor. It makes sense people want to become knowledgeable, self reliant, prepared for any problem or emergency.  We have many books on reloading and offer classes as well. If you get stumped or have a question, bring it to us and we will work on it together.

Contact us if you are interested in either personal protection or reloading classes.

A lack of ammo in America, could it happen again?

3. Machine Gun Shoots – Ammo Cans

It’s been well over a year since the election of President Barack Obama functioned as a clarion call to gun owners across America. Many began stocking up on ammo and purchasing firearms they’d long put off for other priorities. Now it seems that the sense of urgency has waned (or the folks most concerned have finished stocking up) and more ammo is appearing on the shelves of local stores. I hope this does not mean that folks are any less concerned about the administration’s policies or that we’re being lulled into a sense of security.

Opponents would love to point out the administration’s desire to ban guns is not a priority and that we have seen no effort to restrict the right to keep and bear arms, so we have nothing to worry about. I disagree, and so does Sarah Palin in her Facebook post on her comments at the NRA annual meeting. She is notably being misquoted by the mainstream media, so watch the video for yourself and help provide rumor control to your neighbors.

The anti-incumbent sentiments throughout the country are well-deserved because they haven’t been listening to us for a long time now. But if you choose to vote for a challenger to your Congressman or Senator, look carefully at their views. The votes may not there in Congress today, but if they were the administration and progressives would be slipping in any and every restriction they could dream up.

Progressive priorities may not allow for restrictive firearms bills to come to the fore now, but they will eventually and we need to stand strong against them with our votes now.

As many of you know the machine gun shoot that was to be held close to Fort Morgan this fall has been canceled. A new location is being sought at this time by the Rocky Mountain Shooting Association. (If you see them at a gun show stop by and talk to them maybe even join or volunteer to pass out information.) There have been 1 location tossed out that I know of in the Kiowa area, but this is just rumor with no backing that I have been able to find.

If you know of someone who has several hundred thousand acres that we can shoot on let me know.

We will be closing at 3:30 PM on the September 15, 2009 to go to a meeting where we hope to find out more.

As a closing note we just picked up 1000 50 cal ammo cans. The ones that we have looked at so far have been in excellent shape with little to no rust, good seals on the lids. We have not washed them up yet (yeah they are dirty) cost is $6.00 each. Remember Wildfire Learning Institute members get a discount.

Hunting season is upon us Kathy and I are looking forward to some Antelope this fall. yum yum

We now have Ruger LCP magazines with the extension for the pinky. We also have a new shipment of powder and a few Remington small rifle primers.

For those who are interested we will be co-sponsoring a health care debate with Michael Medved and Thom Hartman on KZNT 1460.

The debate will be on Friday September 11, 2009 from 3 pm to 4 pm. Tune in and listen to this fast moving debate covering townhall meeting, protest and press and media coverage.

This will be a network and nationwide broadcast and looks to be a rather lively debate.

In the cloudy mist of a major ammo shortage it is interesting to note that the Big Mart has had a constant supply of the cheap ammo. They buy direct from some manufactures by-passing our distributor, in turn the small shop owners. Meaning we are stuck with buying the higher priced ammo or do with out. I find this rather disturbing as I can not find ammo fo my own shooting. Still looking for a cheap 410 reloader.

Sticker Shock! That’s what I got and in some ways still have. With the shortage of ammo this summer (actually this year), our summer shooting has taken a sharp turn for the worst. Where we use to shoot the high powers we now shot 22′s, if we can find them. We got a new Taurus Judge 3″ magnum with 3″ barrel, fun little guy to shoot, the 410′s recoil felt more like a 38 special and Kathy is out shooting (and hitting) clays with it. The problem is we ran out of ammo and none in the store. Being the forward thinking guy that I am I started to order some more for us and for the store. What a surprise I had when I found a supplier that had some 410 ammo. Over $12.00 a box of 25, (our cost) needless to say we have no 410 ammo in the store or for personal use. Guess I am going to start reloading it. Anyone have a MEC or other 410 reloader for sale CHEAP! Rick
