My kids just turned 8 (triplets) and I feel they are ready to learn the basics of shooting a gun. With that in mind I ordered them a youth model .22 rifle last week and am waiting for it to arrive.
I haven't really been in the market for ammo in quite awhile as I mostly bowhunt. I was aware of a shortage of .22 ammo but thought that things had gotten better and that it was now readily available but it appears it is still in short supply (or maybe excess demand describes it better).
Anyway, can anybody point me to resources for. 22 ammo? I don't want to drive all over town looking for it or wait outside a stores doors before opening to see if any ammo came in on the previous nights truck. I also don't want to pay gouging prices or allow the people taking advantage of other hunters and sportsmen to profit.
Are there any stores in the Des Moines are that will allow you to preorder ammo or that has a waiting list where customers can purchase ammo in turn?
