Since the Covid-19 pandemic began a year ago, the shooting sports industry has experienced inventory struggles due to a massive increase in demand. At the same time, manufacturers of certain products are struggling to keep up with the demand. As a result, many FFL retailers search for new strategies to maximize inventory availability for their customers. Gearfire is here to help.
