Why we decided to boycott social media... In my update two weeks ago I mentioned that we were no longer going to post or be active on the “Big 4” social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube). What I didn’t realize when I posted that, was that we would get so much support for our
Mostly an update on ammo, mostly... This update will be mostly about ammunition with a few other update odds and ends thrown in as well. Ammo Silver Linings We’re starting to see some “silver linings” out there when it comes to the ammo shortage. We’re getting shipments from manufacturers that have been on backorder

Our New Website is LIVE! Well guys, AmmoSquared 2.0 is finally live. At exactly 5pm on Friday February 19th we flipped the switch to shut down the old site and start up the new site. I’m not going to lie and say everything went smoothly, because it didn’t. The emails and Facebook

Digital Ammunition Part 2 Time to pick this crazy idea back up and put some meat on the bare bones I threw out there last week… (Note: If you missed Part 1 of this series you can read it here.) So to recap just a bit, last week I proposed this idea of “Digital
Digital Ammunition Part 1 Digital Ammunition. To most people, those words don’t fit together: digital ammunition… What does that even mean?

Put a Little Training in your Life When I was 17, I nearly shot myself in the head. This isn’t a tale of teenage angst and attempted suicide – this is a tale of (very) poor gun handling skills. You see, when I was a teen I had access to guns but not responsible adult supervision. This

We’re Not MidwayUSA or Walmart I just got off the phone with a guy that was interested in our service but didn’t quite understand it. That happens a lot.

Let me explain a

Propaganda Alpha This week we posted on Facebook a picture of our latest (and first) piece of Ammo² “propaganda” – a vinyl decal for your truck (or car): We think it looks pretty bad-ass! A lot of people agree too because we’ve had a ton of requests for these decals. It also
