Scorpio64 5,147 Posted August 17, 2022 Canvassing for interest in a South Jerz clay and rifle shoot at Stafford Forge WMA. This invite is open to all members. I will be at the STAFFORD FORGE WMA shotgun range with some njgf members, along with friends and family at 0900, Sunday, September 11th. How long we are there depends on how many show up, but we are usually there until at least noon. You and your friends are welcome to join us for a morning of turning money into noise. With a little luck, we may even get to see the NJ Air Guard doing their own target practice runs with A-10 Warthogs. Most of my time will be spent at the shotgun range. If you bring rifles, you MUST have a firearm hunting license OR be on the rifle range with someone who has one. The rifle range was renovated a couple years ago, it's really nice now since they installed very stable concrete tables and benches. There are more shooting positions too, I think six tables. Another new feature at Stafford Forge is the removal of barriers allowing vehicles to drive up to the shooting areas. No more slogging from the eternally flooded parking area to the shooting pads. I will be bringing my automatic trap machine and a few cases of targets. If you have a thrower, bring it. Bring your shotgun, as much #7.5 or #8 lead target/field loads as you want to shoot, and depending on how much you want to shoot, a carton of clay pigeons would be great. Supplies are available at Shooters, which is just off the GSP exit. Don't forget eyes and ears. Also recommended is a chair, insect repellent, and something to drink. If you don't have a shotgun and just want to have a go at trap shooting, you are welcome to use my loaner shotgun. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's the same place I'm thinking of, it was where I went before each duck hunting season to sharpen my skillz. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I overhauled my press and also discovered a mistake I was making about the shot cups I was using in one particular load. I guess now I'll have to take responsibility for misses. There is definitely powder in ALL my reloads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, yep.I've cranked out around 1250 trap loads so far, most of 'em even worked. My last batch had some issues because of a couple stoopid mistakes. I tore down the press as much as I could without me needing three hands to reassemble. Cleaned it up good, got new powder washer and primer feeder spring, and made a few small adjustments. It runs slicker than snot on a doorknob now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eyeinstine 241 Posted September 11, 2022 Great time today! Thanks for organizing and putting out the invite Scorp’! Heres a few random pics.. always great to get some younger and newer shooters in the mix…. And us old guys who can’t miss with those fancy long barreled guns. We need to be challenged so why not bust out with some tactical and shockwave guns to dust some clays! Now that was a challenge! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
