  1. A tragedy for RTSP though. I agree as to the person being weak and selfish.
  2. I have three scopes and two RDS on LaRue mounts. I've taken them off multiple times, usually take it off when I clean the gun. I confirm zero after each time the optic is removed, but so far I have not witnessed a POA/POI shift. They seem to work as advertised. Return to zero every time.
  3. For someone is so sensitive you don't mind slinking shade right back. I like it. Good on you! I'll just bring my favorite certificate lol. Good on you for re-evaluating the costs of your training class. That IS good business and I applaud you for it.
  4. So If I show you a stack of certificates from training classes I can draw from a holster? Good to know. No one told me that, they just wanted to charge me $125. You may want to make your employees aware of the exemption. Maybe a little.
  5. Still not a tragedy. Upsetting, unsettling, unnerving, not a tragedy. No one died, everything that was taken can be replaced. No dramatics needed.
  6. As I am just one guy who thinks you're a rip off. Drive on. I would still love to hear the explanation behind the $125 45 minute draw from a holster lesson requirement... I guess safety right?
  7. Again, you are entitled to charge whatever you like and whatever the market will allow for. I just know that your competitors charge less. Maybe they don't make as much profit, maybe they get better deals from their suppliers. Either way, it's not my problem. I support the business with the best price. You charge what you want, I'll spend what I deem acceptable. I'm just one guy who thinks your prices are a rip off. What do you care? Clearly lot's of people are okay with it. Drive on!
  8. I get it, but it is not your home. If someone burglarized your home and stole your wife's engagement ring or your child's favorite stuffed animal, I get it. Those are things that insurance money will never replace. I also get the anger you feel having someone violate your place of business. Having said that, to proclaim it as a tragedy is a bit over the top. They are, in fact, inanimate objects. Guns on display in your store, not family heirlooms in your bedroom. You will itemize your looses and insurance will pay out. It's nothing that can't be replaced. It's not a tragedy. Again, you did build an awesome range, no doubt, I just feel your rip people off with your prices. Judging by people liking my original response, I am not the only one who feels that way. I wanted to buy the Hudson H9 you have, but $1,250? Yeah no. $1100 for an M9A3 that can be had online for $878 and free shipping... no again.
  9. Agreed. no movement allowed, but I can draw from a holster and practice fundamentals. Even rake a LAV advanced handgun class? lol not much movement A LOT of fundamentals.
  10. I get the defensiveness. If someone criticizes you, it's natural to get defensive. The key is that if you receive criticism, to evaluate it and become better. That is where RTSP falls short. No one ever said the people there are not good people, but yeah, the pricing? Not so much. I get that, but other brick and mortar NJ gun stores charge less. Sometimes significantly less. A friend of mine became a member, he wanted a new gun. The price with his discount was still so much more than another store in NJ that he just went to the other store. What's the point of the membership then? Shooting at indoor ranges doesn't have to be expensive. There are ranges that are $15 per port per hour, not per person per hour. Are they are state of the art? No, but it's a range. All I need is a target holder and a back stop. I don't need anything fancy to get my practice in.
  11. If everyone kept their opinions to themselves, we would not have this, or any other forum. Tragedy? Really? Come off it. If someone got hurt during the burglary, then yes, a tragedy. A bunch of insured inanimate objects being stolen is not a tragedy. When those people offed themselves at your range, that is a tragedy. Eleven guns being taken, some broken glass and a check from the insurance company, again, not a tragedy. I get it, your business model works, thanks to the ignorance of the average NJ gun buyer. Better pricing? You are consistently more expensive than other NJ brick and mortar stores, we wont even mention online pricing. Even if I pay to be a member, the discount still leaves most firearms more expensive than competitors. $125 so that I can prove to you I know how to draw from a holster? After dozens and dozens of classes where I draw from a holster hundreds of times a day? Really? Something your range masters can check in 2 minutes. $125? Sure, if someone has never done it, why not, but why not just have the RSO check to see first. No? $125 only? Okaaaaay. Hey, if it works, keep going. I've been to your range several times, it's very nice, no doubt. The store is just a rip off. I am entitled to my opinion whether you like it or not.
  12. That sounds like CNN trying to connect Trump to Richard Spencer. Come on dude.
  13. I'm confused by this too. How is a Jewish immigrant from Ukraine making guns in the US is a Neo Nazi.
  14. HAHAHAHA No fucking joke, Igor is my mom's cousin. He owns a company that makes blimps. I was just talking to his dad about this in November when he was in NJ for my Grandma's 80th birthday party. I thought nothing of it. This is awesome!!!!!
  15. So why overcharge for the last several years? Murf hasn't gotten anything done yet? I get your point all I'm saying is I don't feel sorry for RTSP. Insurance will cover it and they will continue to rip people off.
  16. Maybe the burglars saw the prices RTSP charges and figured "they rob their customers, might as well burglarize them" LOL
  17. Look up the AK Operators Union review for both on YouTube.
  18. Good to know they have em. I am looking for a WASR10 for a "modernised ak" project. Would be ditching the wood anyway. Even with online pricing, by the time you factor in shipping, transfer and compliance work, this is a good deal.
  19. I lease only because there is no daily driver that I want to own. At least I have yet to find one. I also don't wan to be responsible for repairs in 3 years. Maybe if I find something I want to keep, I will buy it. The amount of money I paid out over the course of my last lease (up Feb 4) is less than the amount of depreciation the car has experienced over the last 3 years. If I had bought the car, I would have lost money trading it in over the the cost of my lease. If I was to get a Vette, I would buy it cause I know I would want to keep it. Otherwise, I lease.
  20. Island was a dump and still is a dump. The pits are grass! Wtf lol. I raced there once maybe in 2002 when my car was trapping 112mph. Even then the shut down area was so small I had to slam the brakes. Now trapping 133 with skinnies and small front brakes. No thank you! I drove past it last year because the Costa class was at a range right behind it. Yeah, it's still a dump. Ill go yo Atco as usual.
  21. The 1/8mile in yellow was typically used for JrDragsters. I guess when the ricers were there they used it as a spill over. I have a love and hate relationship with ETown. My car always ran better at Atco. Better traction 100% of the time. ETown kicked me out several times and one of the guys working there was a total dick. He left a few years back to race drag bikes professionally. Fuck I hated that guy. A lot of the other workers have become my friends since I started racing in 2001. It's sad to see them loose their jobs. I met some of my best friends through drag racing. A bunch of us are getting together tomorrow after years of not seeing each other because we all started talking about ETown closing this week. So maybe there is a silver lining My car was shot for GM High Tech magazine at ETown. I had to install mufflers just so I can run there for the photo shoot lol. Atco never busted my balls about noise. Old Bridge slapped ETown with a huge environmental tax. That, coupled with the offer from the car storage company was too much for the Napps to continue running cars down the strip. Sad. At at the end of the day Atco is better. So as convenient as ETown was, being 10 minutes away, fuck em. I'll go to Atco anyway.
  22. Once they propose, pass and/or enforce unconstitutional laws which strip me of my rights, they are no longer my countrymen.
  23. It was a question, not an advocation. As for your reply; Samuel Adams already covered what I would say in response "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
