    @rschmidty6 - yet more evidence of my theory! I haven't communicated with this nice man in MONTHS... and yet, here he is... popping up like a meercat, whispering "you still NEED a shotgun..." and then disappearing just as quickly back into his burrow. I'm telling you, you'll see this all the time! :rofl:

    And yes, @W2MC - I do hear you! Every time I convince myself - "I can't do this... I just have no aptitude for shotguns"... I'll pick up someone nice light and/or short shottie and I'll hit a few in a row and THEN I'll think, "hmmm... maybe I CAN do this...". I've been going down other expensive rabbit holes lately, but eventually, when I have some extra bucks, I'll look around for a light, compact model and get some practice in with ONE gun. rshmidty6 on the other hand, was one of those people who had a new shotgun, didn't even know how to load it, and yet... he was instantly CRUSHING clays! Some newbies just seem to have that "shotgun aptitude" coming right out of the gate... god bless them!   

    You've been saying that for years ... ;)

    We need to do these shoots other than on a Sunday - I have retired to the Poconos, which is actually closer to Clinton than I was in NJ, but Sunday mornings find me at church services.  Some people DO have the 'eye' for shotgun - I, however, have spent way too much time as a pistol shooter, and  suffer from 'aiming', rather than 'pointing' a shotgun; either interrupting my swing or shooting at a point in the sky where I HOPE the target and shotcloud intersect.  I've tried; but I cannot consistently shake it.

    I am looking forward to this coming Saturday and the CNJFO sporting clays outing at Lehigh Valley.  LOADS of fun!

    And so it begins....

    If there's one thing you'll find on these Forums in abundance... it's warm, friendly people....  and those same people are also delighted to help you spend mo' of your money on guns, ammo & accessories that you didn't even know you needed until you met them!  

    Ask me how I know this... :rofl:

    You still NEED a shotgun ....   ;)

    In order to keep them from banging the card again after it expired, I loaded up a Vanilla Gift Visa card, and used that to pay for the service.

    I LIKE this idea....

    Haven't been in that area in awhile.....but I used to live in Medford.  Its only a couple towns over from Mount Holly; but given the choice, I'd go there rather than Easthampton or Mount Holly.

    There are several nice apartment complexes - I was in the Cedars - off Route 70, back 35-40 years ago.

    Little gunz can shoot. 

    Tho I haven't shot it in years, I could shoot 25 rounds out of a .25 ACP Raven; the very definition of "Saturday Night Special", into the circle of a standard NRA 25 yard target at 25 feet.  Never a misfire.

    Not bad for a pistol that was originally a "promo" for a year's membership in a range.

    I friends in Stroudsburg.  They tell me it is NOT the same as when he moved there 30+years ago.  I hear parts are going to shit real fast...

    I can think of very few places that are 'the same as they used to be'. 

    When I retired, I left South Jersey (Camden County), which was not the same as it used to be.

    I left Burlington County (also South Jersey) 15 years before, which is not the same as it used to be.

    I left North Jersey (Bergen County) nearly 50 years ago, which is also not the same as it used to be. 

    I based my decision to leave on what and how things are now, not as they were 30 years ago.

    "So we applaud the Legislature and the Murphy Administration for devising a new set of regulations that are fair, balanced, and tailored to withstand constitutional scrutiny – while dealing with the 300,000 new gun owners that have already applied for firearm permits."

    Amazing how they can come out with such crap
