We are sending this out a little early for September. We wanted to give each of you plenty of time to get going for season. Squirrel Season started the 15th of August, and we are just about a month out from the youth season in Indiana.
Our recommendation this time of the year to everyone is this, don’t wait until the last minute before the season to get what you need.

What the last few years have taught us is that the ramp up for season is steep and if you are not on the leading edge of it, you could be left out on equipment.
Today, we have the guns, the ammo, the scopes, the rings, the slings, and the bipods. In 2 or 3 months, I can’t say we will have what you need in stock.
“I do my work at the same time each day — the last minute.”

The lead time right now if you order a gun, ammo, accessories, or other equipment that is in stock lays between a week to 2 weeks. Remember if it’s not in stock at our distributors, we can’t make it appear. And the closer we get to season the more likely it is to be sold out.
If you look on our website, btbguns.com you will see on the mail page our deer hunting rifles are featured. And like I said, if you don’t see something you like, let us know. I bet we can order it in for you if given enough advance notice.

In closing don’t be this guy, here is a typical conversation the day before or the day of the season opener. This conversation honestly could be about Deer season or Turkey season or Goose season, Rabbit season or Christmas. This we have seen can also apply to Guns, Ammo, Muzzleloaders you name it. This is why it’s important to get what you need here earlier than later.
September 1st
Customer: “Oh good you guys have plenty of my ammo for deer season.”
Guys here: “Sir you should get it now if you need it.”
Customer: “I don’t need it today; I will need it before season starts or it will sell out.”
Guys here: “Sir, I would get it now, before it is gone.”
Customer: “I will be fine”

November 1st
Customer: “What’s wrong with your shop, why don’t you stock the ammo I need?”
Guys here: “Sir, we had it 2 months ago when you came in.”
Customer: “What, did they stop making it?”
Guys here: “No, just sold out like we thought it would.”
Customer: “You should have bought more.”
You get the idea. Let us help you. If you give us enough time, we can order just about anything. The week before season just isn’t enough time.
“Due tomorrow? Do tomorrow.”
