The Hangin' at Coyote Creek

 – Spring 2023

Well, it’s hard to believe that it’s already May, which means Spring Cowboy Action Shooting matches
are well underway. By all accounts, attendance is high and filled with enthusiasm. Everybody is glad to
finally see the Covid pandemic and the lockdowns in the rearview mirror, with ammo and reloading
supply shortages starting to recede. For 2+ years, primers and powders were almost non-existent and
rarely, if ever, found on the shelves. Although reloading supplies are now coming back at LGS locations
and big box stores, as expected, prices have seemed to double! $40 bricks of primers are now in the $90
range. As an optimist, this is better than the $200 price for a brick of 1,000 Federal primers, that we saw
during the pandemic on Gunbroker and other sites. Like many, I said “Never again. Never again will I
let my primer & powder supply get low.”
In conclusion, we hope that you are all getting to attend and enjoy the Spring 2023 CAS matches and
we’re thankful for finally having the supply of reloaded ammo to make these matches. In 2020, I too
remember having to ration my SASS bullets and cut down on live-fire practice time on the range. Let’s
all do as many matches as possible this year and we sincerely hope that, if you’re able, you will come see
the Bayou Bounty Hunters of Louisiana in November, for our annual match, the “Hangin at Coyote
Creek” which is this year’s Louisiana State Championship! Please register for “The Hangin” and reserve
the dates, November 10 th – 12 th .
