Thanks for the heads up Wildlife.... I wasn't looking to purchase, however I was on their site and just looked up some ammo for shits and giggles to see if it was flying off the shelves...

Do they charge shipping and state taxes?

Free shipping for most, especially in bulk purchases. You do have to pay taxes though. They recently stated delays on shipping because of the recent demand, however I still received my order in days rather than weeks.

Again, I highly recommend them.

Good luck!

Target Sports USA Customer,

**Please expect 10-day shipping delay on all orders due to the increase demand.**

We are doing everything we can to ship your order as soon as possible including: implementing a second shift, hiring additional employees and offering overtime to our office staff to keep up with compliance requirements and any customer inquiries. Please note even with these changes, we also have a huge increase in customer email & phone call volume so please bear with us for any delays in response. You can check your order status online at www.TargetSportsUSA.com under My Account.

We are also working closely with all manufacturers to keep products in stock at competitive pricing. Unfortunately, we have been informed that all manufacturers are now shipping product at an increased cost, due to demand. We are doing everything we can to mitigate these costs for our customers while trying to keep as much inventory as we can in stock.

We are thankful for our Prime Members and customers for their patience and understanding during this time! We are doing everything we can to navigate during these difficult times.

Stay Safe!

Sincerely,
Target Sports USA Team

IF you become sick from Covid 19 there are some things that are appearing to hurt rather than help.
May want to Avoid Ibuprofen for symptom control, use acetaminophen instead This is because of how the NSAIDs work in relation to how the virus works in you.
The evidence for elderberry is mixed. This is because elderberry increases cytokines but a cytokine storm (too many) is one of the byproducts of the virus in some patients.

This is not medical advice, just a healthcare provider giving you information so you can appropriately make the best choices with your OTC medications.

Many people who catch COVID 19 won't know they had it. Some of those people will become sick with a respiratory flu aspect (sore throat, shortness of breath, fever, etc). Most of those symptomatic people can successfully be treated at home with your standard over the counter remedies. There are some people who will become sick enough that home care will not be enough and they will need supportive care in the hospital setting. Of those patients, some will develop bad enough respiratory distress to require intubation (breathing tube) and mechanical ventilation. The primary course of the hospitalized patients is a bad pneumonia. ALL this information is just that information based upon me reading through the many reports and studies out there. Please do your own research and make the best decision for you and your family, no actual medical advice being given.

As testing becomes more available we are going to see a skyrocket in actual numbers. This doesn't mean that its spreading like wildfire, just that we're actually tracking who has it. Remember you are contagious (passing it on) 2-4 days before you become symptomatic.

Tracking the numbers of hospitalized and deaths occurring is where we are going to see if our "social distancing" is taking effect. Unfortunately if we did have an effect people will say it was overblown, and if it isn't people will complain we didn't do enough.

A few thoughts on masks. Surgical style masks only protect the person wearing it from passing "it" to others, they do NOT protect the person wearing them AT ALL. N95 style masks protect the person wearing them from the outside BUT they are supposed to be single use items. There is some CDC information for using them multiple times and many healthcare providers I know (including myself) will be putting a normal mask on over the N95 to protect my N95 for reuse because supplies just aren't there. There is also some research that shows if literally EVERYONE wore the surgical masks that the potential for transmission of the virus would be as low as the provider wearing an N95 but with the shortages of masks that's about as realistic as having enough PPE for healthcare providers.


We need to continue to watch out for encroachment on our personal liberties. I saw there a mayor in IL and FL both enacted orders where they feel they can stop the buying of certain items including firearms...... If we go under a form of martial law to slow transmission we need to be prepared to fight to remove it as soon as feasible.

There are some reports that there are now 2 strains of COVID-19 and that there are starting to be deaths in age groups other than 60+ in a higher percentage that was reported in China. Its evolving literally hourly with new news, insight and information.

Also we were told steroids. Don’t know the type, it was just in general.
