Interesting quote from Ammo maker

[Fjold]

"Vista Outdoor is doing everything it can to meet demand," Vanderbrink said. "Federal has been around for 99 years. We've made more hunting ammunition this year than we have in the 99 years of our company."

From the news article:

Ammunition hard to come by

Feb. 25—What is possibly the highest demand for ammunition in a generation is easy to spot at Tri-State Outfitters in Moscow.

The 24-foot-long, 6-foot-tall display where the store stocks ammunition is 90 percent empty, something the store's general manager, Jennifer Laferriere, hasn't seen in her 30-year career.

The heightened sales for ammunition began in May just after the store reopened following a closure because of the coronavirus.

Moscow, ID has a population of 25,000.

I'd be willing to wager that's the largest amount of shelf space per capita on the west coast.

So what you're saying is they still have 10% full shelves?

Road trip!

Ever been to Orroville, CA? Town of ~19k and I forget the name of the store but their ammo display is many times bigger. I just thought it was funny the quote was trying to make a 24x6 display seem like its huge.
