The domain is for sale for $2288. Same thing happened to me on one of my domains, it expired and someone (or company) bought it and "held it ransom" so to speak. If you got enough people together, you might be able to start a GoFundMe page to raise $$ to buy it back and re-establish it.

For training, your crimps should work well for intro, then you can move up to shotgun "popper" loads. GunDog Supply has a nice video on their page about the differences....check it out. For HT and FT your crimps should be fine.
