    Hey all, I am looking to get into 3 gun this spring and have a couple equipment/training questions.

    First, the rifle/optic:
    I got a blazing deal on an LWRCI-DI Competition rifle, but now need an optic, preferably one to match the quality of the rifle so I am not looking to upgrade later. I know I am most comfortable with FFP optics, as I am coming from a precision rifle background, but there are a lot of LPVOs out there and I am not sure what will work best.

    1) What max magnification should I be looking for? 6,8,10?
    2) (related to above) What distances will I be looking at with NC/SC/VA competitions?

    Shotgun:

    I currently have a Mossberg 590 20" with the 10 round magazine setup. I know semi-auto is much preferred, but how far behind the curve will I be with a pump? I'll invest in a semi later if I catch the bug for 3 gun, but for now would like to stick with the 590 since its what I have.

    Pistol:
    I have an M9A4 that I was going to use, but have recently decided to offload my PPQ .45 and, once I do, was thinking about an FN509 or P320 variant. Would these be better choices over the M9 on a technical level? The obvious answer here is "whatever you shoot better and are more comfortable with".

    Overall questions:

    1) Are there any good outdoor ranges within maybe 45 mins of Raleigh that provide a good training environment?
    2) What are the best ways to train in each of the three disciplines?
    3) Any commonly overlooked items/facets of the sport that would prove beneficial?
    4) Is there any chance that I am able to train enough to be halfway (or quarter) decent in my first match?

    Thanks in advance for any advice. Getting into competition seems to be a daunting task, but I am really looking forward to it!

    You should really check out and join Brian enos forum (it's free). It's all about uspsa, 3 gun, ipsc, idpa etc. This is a forum just for new jersey and all the competition shooters left long ago. 

    To answer a couple of questions though, scopes are a personal thing dependent on what your a fan of but more than half of the shooters at a level 2 will have the Vortex razor HD gen 2 1-6 with the JM reticle. Yes it is 2nd FP but you don't want FFP for 3 gun, FFP is slower for this type of shooting. I can go wayy into it but I'm not so just take my word for it and everyone else that makes the top sixty percent of every match. No one uses FFP. 

    As far as your other guns they are fine to get started with. Go shoot some matches, see how stuff is working for everyone else and what you think would work best for you before you start wasting money. The most important thing for your first matches is to have fun and be safe. Be 100 percent aware of muzzle direction at all times. I've seen dozens and dozens of new guys come out for their first match and get DQed for breaking the 180, especially with the shotgun, get upset and never come back. It's part of the game, everyone gets DQed eventually if not their first match. 

    Make sure your comfortable with your surroundings at the match. If the RO is an arrogant old asshole you can request a different RO. 

    It's not as daunting as think, just run what you have now. People at the match will be extremely helpful and loan you anything you might need. 

    Do you know about practiscore.com? That's where to find matches. When your at the match, network, that's how to find more matches.

    Good evening all, new guy here. My name is Brian reside in Cherry Hill. I was born in this state in ‘71 moved to Pa in 98 ish (can’t remember tbh) moved back in 06. Wish I couldn’t but work and family obligations. Anyway just started paperwork for my FID I have the prints scheduled for Nov 10, references already replied back so just waiting. Joined this forum to figure out the mess of NJ gun laws, and stay legal. I hope to contribute in a meaningful manner, also looking for like minded people to hopefully shoot with soon. I don’t know ranges in my area at all. Actually don’t know who is a good reputable firearms store in this area either. Hoping all goes well with the apps and patiently waiting. 

    Hi welcome. If you are looking for mid to high priced guns I can save you hundreds of dollars compared to the gun shops around here. Mid meaning like glocks, M&P's, sigs, Ruger etc. High meaning 1911's, Kimbers, etc. Cheaper guns I can definitely get them cheaper than the gun shops but if your driving a huge truck that gets 5 MPG it might not be worth it. But if you join Quinton sportsman club or USANNA gun range I'm between them. I'm a home based FFL in Elmer NJ 08318. I'm about 40 minutes from you. Feel free to call or text me anytime with any gun you want or any questions with applying witch you already have. I do this stuff all day everyday so I'm pretty good at it lol 856-364-1031 Louis Scarborough The Elmer Gun Company LLC

    Have any permits been issued through the NJSP yet?  I haven't seen anyone post here, facebook pages, or reddit that they received a permit and applied through the state police.

    My permit has been in for 2 months and I haven't heard a thing from them.  The trooper at my local barracks who handles firearm permits has always been really good to work with.  Always responsive, answers phone calls and emails, keeps me informed of the process, and has generally been helpful.  I emailed him twice in the last month and no reply.  Wondering if he's just overworked or if a directive not to answer questions went out.

    Anybody have any insight into what's happening with permits submitted to NJSP?

    I've been hearing Bridgeton barracks is pretty good but haven't actually seen one. Lots of guys come through my shop that have the permit now and are always proud to show it. I'm going to get started pretty soon I have to wait a few more weeks for my 30 day wait for a carry gun. 

    If you haven't heard I have a home based FFL in Elmer now. I'm the absolutely cheapest place to buy firearms in the state. Give me a call for your next gun 856-364-1031

    Just wanted to pop back in and say hi. Been getting back into firearms more recently and backing away from Jeep Life a little more. Happy to be back and catch up with all the new laws and fun firearms that have came out. Been about 6 years since I’ve last bought anything but just did the change of address and updated my firearms ID card after moving. Washington Twp (Gloucester County) was amazing with communication and getting the permits. Literally a week. 

    If you want any new guns give me a call I got my FFL (home based) and have all the same distributors as the gun shops but don't charge their insane prices. I'm in upper Deerfield 856-364-1031

  5. Yup, this forum use to be the shit for matches in the area, now it just is....  You mention matches on here and people say that's not real life or some other dumb shit. 

    This forum helped get me into competitive shooting, now it's basically my life outside of the family. I even own a gun shop because of all this. I'll probably be opening up a training school pretty soon. Hell, even my wife shoots uspsa and SC.

    Just want to say thank you to all the OG's of this forum and all the match directors in the area!

    Good to know Lou. Don't know about the e-fid, but my card is just big enough to not fit in my wallet even after trimming it. I only carry it when I think I might run into a place for ammo.

    Apply for more pistol permits and they will give you a brand spanking new digital infringement card, then you won't need the old one. Pistol permits are really quick now, state police are around ten days. You  can do it all online, no more going to the cop shop, you just need to know your local barracks ORI number witch can be found online. 

    When your ready to buy something let me know, I'm can beat anyone's price. The Elmer Gun Company LLC 856-364-1031

    Louu.  That was a question i had.  To buy pistol ammo.  A screenshot is good?   What about a screenshot of the old type.  What are the protocols for ffl’s now

    As with all jersey laws it's grey. For the new electronic stuff the phone is good. If you don't have that yet you would need to present your card. The address must match. That is what the state police that inspects FFL's told me.

    I also recommend a quality gun belt. They have a stiffener to keep the weight of the gun from twisting the belt.

    A holster lets you play all of the great gun games...IPSC, IDPA, Steel Challenge, etc. etc. 

    Pick one, give it a try, you'll probably love it.
