We are now into 2011 and continue to see unprecedented cost increases for the raw materials that make up our products. I can assure you that we have invested significant capital to increase productivity and lower costs across all of our facilities. However, we are unable to absorb the rapid increase of these raw material costs.<\/p>\n<p>Due to these historic increases we are forced to raise pricing as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Centerfire Handgun and Rifle 7-15%<br \/>\nPromotional Rimfire 10-15%<br \/>\nStandard Rimfire 5-10%<br \/>\nShotshell 5-10%<br \/>\nPrimers 10%<\/p>\n<p>This increase will apply to any orders shipped after May 1, 2011. The new pricing and programs will be sent to you in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your continued support and understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Respectfully,<br \/>\nAnthony A.
