Ammo Shortages? The Queue is your friend... No, I’m not talking about “Q” as in the “Live Q or Die” company that makes the Honey Badger, the FIX, and other awesome stuff. Nor am I talking about “Q” from QAnon of Trump fame. I’m talking about your Queue at AmmoSquared.com… something that can make
A Primer on AmmoSquared: Basic Concepts We’ve had so many new customers sign up in the past couple of months along with a large number of potential “tire kickers”, that I thought it would be a good time to review the basics of our service… call them the “building blocks” of AmmoSquared: Building Block 1:
The Current State of Ammo... As We See It I wanted to write a quick post to give some visibility into the current state of the ammunition market as we’re seeing it.

TESTED: Venom 9mm FMJ 115gr and 124gr With the ammo shortage, consumers are turning to brands that they might not have purchased in the past.
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
April 2021 Update - New Features! Since launching our new platform in February, we've had a number of improvements on our "wishlist". This month we tackled A BUNCH of those...
Waitlist Update and First Wave of Enhancements Planned Our new website has been live now for just over a month. Time for an update and a look forward… So as I mentioned in my last blog post (Our New Website is LIVE!) we had some bugs when we first launched that caused some headaches, but since then I
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
New Website Update and Preview Hey Folks, The time is nearly here! Our new custom web app has been a huge project for us and we are nearly ready to start migrating customers over to the new platform. In this post I want to run through some of the changes and include screenshots so you

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?

Corporations vs. Freedom If there is one philosophical ideal running through my life it can be summed up in one word: Freedom (I suspect this may be the same for you). I believe in freedom in all its different forms: personal freedom, financial freedom, and the freedom to make your own way in
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
Political Discrimination by the Banking Industry Political discrimination in by large corporations is real – I’m a victim of it. If you run a business counter to mainstream “political correctness” you are systematically shut out of many of the tools small businesses depend on to thrive and grow: including search engine and social media marketing, credit

First I’
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.

GAAT Update – 1st Day Out Today was the first day out testing handgun accuracy. It was definitely a learning experience: * First of all: the Ransom Rest ROCKS! * Second: Wind SUCKS when testing ammo. * Lastly: We learned some stuff and as a result, we’re changing our procedure (more about that below). Let me explain a
Gun + Ammo Accuracy Testing Project (“GAAT”) We are just about ready to officially start the AmmoSquared Guns + Ammo Accuracy Testing Project (the “GAAT” Project for short… came up with that one ourselves!) Anyway, hopefully, you watched our YouTube video. But in case you haven’t yet: The goal of the “GAAT Project” is to see what
