I had a similar question to myself. Someone had asked about team buds before. I still haven’t done it though. I will starting next year because that’s when I get a raise at work and I will buy multiple arms so it would be worth it

John, If you buy more then a couple firearms a year, accessories, or as much ammunition as I do Team Buds is well worth it. I have saved the membership fee many times over and have it paid to 2023 in case the cost increases. Reference the email to BUDs at 1-859-368-0371 and maybe they will make an exception. I find the Team Buds Membership a good value for me.

I understand not wanting to join but if you ever do layaways then TB is worth it . TB gets you free layaways (non TB members pay $25,00 in fees for a 90 day layaway) TB also allows you the ability to put used guns on layaway and has a special phone line for speaking with Buds it costs $29.95 for then1st year renewals are $25.00 to me it is a bargain as I normally do at least 3 layaways a year budsgunshop.com/catalog/teambuds.php

John, since you received notification, I would speak with Buds to see if they would let you purchase without a membership registration at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm 7 days a week.
