And new guy brings lunch and drinks for his squad.

 

Uspsa rule # 87 section 6 chapter 2

 

I thought it was the winners of the most recent event

[Dan 177]

Crap, I had to go away on business and I forgot to register. Looks like it is full up now.

[hiker88 22]

I'm in... heard somebody's bringing free lunch

Go anyway, you can probably get a walk on spot if you're early.

[Kingsoverqueens 10]

How does the walk on work?

 

is it like 3rd grade dodge ball, where everyone lines up waiting to get picked.

 

Cause I don't think I could take that again.

[Dan 177]

Go anyway, you can probably get a walk on spot if you're early.

 

I was thinking of doing that Frank. The whole thing is that if I don't get in, then that's a wasted Sunday that I could have been out on the bike instead of the drive of shame going home. I guess it depends if my riding friends go out this Sunday or not....

[Jim Norman 5]

We have not yet had to turn anyone away. not that it will never happen, but we always have a number of cancelations. To insure that you get a walk-on I strongly suggest arriving early and signing in, then work helping to build the match. Now, that said, show up at 9:31 and ****, well.....

 

Jim

[DargZ 5]

Signed up early this time. This will be my first time at OB.

[Dan 177]

Thanks Jim , I may do that.

USPSA for the most part is just as friendly as it is in here, plenty of people who are very helpful and the nice thing is the NJGF squad usually has a bunch of people who are certified RO's or should be RO's but just haven't taken the course.

 

Also while we are a friendly group remember the #1 rule, Be Safe, #2 rule, Be Safe, and #3, Take your time and be SAFE.

 

There will be a new to USPSA shooters briefing so you want to be at the match a little early so you DO NOT miss that.

 

Seems so, I shot once at the practice match Friday night at the indoor range, that was my first time ever and it was a blast. I was looking at taking that RO class as well, Im sure it doesnt hurt to have.

If only I could fit a cooler in my trunk, I can barley get a bookbag in there haha. Beverages is a possibility( non adult of course ). How many people are usually in said "squad"?

[Krdshrk 3,877]

I didn't get registered in time - I might have to walk on. Being a RO helps though

[Kingsoverqueens 10]

Ok, I'm cleared to go tomorrow and so that is the plan. I'm a walk on and will be there early to help set up.

 

I've got gear but want to check on a few things.

 

This will be my first outdoor event and I'm not familiar with the setup at the outdoor range at Old Bridge.. Do we have suffient time to get back and forth to the car to retrieve ammo, or do you guys carry around enough for the day, or at least for the stages shot prior to lunch?

 

Lunch? I figure to bring a sandwhich and am wondering if there time to get back to the car to grab it and/or water, or do you guys lug around enough of all this stuff (ammo/water/extra mags, etc) for the day?

 

I came across a wheeled laptop case in my basement and it can fit all of these things (ammo/water/lunch). If I use it should I expect a lot of pointing and laughing? At me?

 

It's OK. I anticipate some noobie hazing. lol

 

Thanks in advance.

[Steve_G 51]

It's not a long walk at all back to your car. I usually carry my ammo and leave my cooler in the truck. I need something from the cooler, I go get it. You have plenty of time after shooting a stage and then waiting for your turn on the next stage.

[AS350Driver 56]

If you have a cart go ahead and bring it. You'll see plenty of people with them, it is very convenient to have everything you need right there with you.

[BlueLineFish 615]

Its even better to pile everything in someone else cart. Like alec does with nicks cart

[Maksim 1,504]

Yes.... I just throw my bag on Frank's cart.... although I do push it for a few stages. =P If Frank is not around, Harry has one. Although I think Nick has one too now. =P

The perks of being squadded together. =P

 

I will be there tomorrow.

 

Dan, did you need to borrow my mags?

Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?

Ouch!

Hey Maks and all, hope you guys had a great time.

 

I made alternate plans with a friend to ride motorcycles when I saw the match was full (before I realized I could have walked on with a high probability of shooting). I didn't want to cancel on my friend and "be that guy".

 

Thanks for offering up the mags though. I did some work to mine with the dremel, along with a very good cleaning. They seem spot on and are working like yours now. I can pop the 10th last round out with my finger no problem. I also chambered full mags multiple times with an empty round without a single mishap. Hopefully that will do it! I plan on making Shongum this weekend.

[Kingsoverqueens 10]

Great fun today.

 

Shot in squad four with Norbert, Melissa, Alec, Crazy Mike, Dave, Chris and Team Bullseye Tactical, Dave....

 

I do admit, I'm tired. lol

 

Looking forward to the next one at CJRPC.

Norbert, Melissa and the rest are good people.

Thanks.

 

I'm going to shoot the indoor .22 carbine match on Friday at Old Bridge and then either Steel or first Sunday Trap at CJRPC with my son on Sunday. Not sure I'll do 3 shooting events over the weekend.

[Kingsoverqueens 10]

Norbert, Melissa and the rest are good people.

Yeah, now I just need to put screen names with faces.

 

I introduced myself to Dave DeLeo, told him my screen name here, and he just shrugged. :embarrased: I could have sworn he was a regular here.

[ronhonda 86]

scores are up

[alec.mc 180]

Sweet! First place revolver division, ... Granted I was the only one in the division, first none the less. What do I win ?

I must of been a busy bee! Shooting in 2 squads!

 

Kings, think you got me mixed up, I shot in the group with nick, Harry, Jon Futey and maksim

Don't forget Mikeythumbs and Col. Mortimer (Mike and Mike).

 

Alec - you win.... nothing, lol. Need 5 shooters in your class/division I think to win prize money. I topped out Production, D Class.... But there were only 3 shooters.

No, there was an Alec (or Alex I guess) in our squad. Russian accent, shooting a CZ. He was very helpful and offered a lot of good advice.

 

If you were the only guy shooting revolver and were in the squad with Max and the other, I'm the guy who bumped into you on Stage 7. Again, sorry about that. I'm not small to begin with and forget how wide the mag pouches make you. I puckered big when I realized I bumped your gun. Yikes...

[M4BGRINGO 139]

If you signed-up to shoot the indoor PCC event this coming Friday you can use any pistol-caliber carbine, you are not limited to just a .22. I have used my Beretta .40 cal carbine for that event in the past.
