CJR&PC now with Mag limits!!

[Danno 127]

I was shooting trap/skeet at CJ today using my Clay Delay. I was having a little trouble with it (dead battery) and standing at one of the trap spots trying to figure it out. A truck pulls up and waves me over. I walk over to the truck and one of the board members is in it. The first thing he says to me is "You know you can only have two rounds in that gun.". I said really since when? He said it going to be in the new rules. I was about to ask what the reasoning was but just said yeah okay and let him go. I was alone and using a pump gun. Any other members hear about this? Have Libtards taken over the Board? I know that the Fuds pretty much run the club but didn't we all just fight against this sort of thing.

Just checked the website for the club and nothing is listed on it. Can't imagine that they would put in a mag limit greater then what even the politicians wanted.

I've been to some public ranges with some similar rules...5rnds max in mags.... And no it wasn't in nj.....true fudds see no real reason to more than 2rnds(like double barrel Biden) lol

Which board member?  I deal with them quite often, so I'm curious where this came from.

[rightisright 3]

I'm interested in knowing the answer as I was giving serious consideration to joining. 

[jrfly3006 42]

I dont believe that if true..this would go over well with the membership

[jrfly3006 42]

Hopefully someone here who knows someone on the board can find out

[Danno 127]

If you go to the next board meeting ask about it. I'll try and get to the next General membership meeting.

[average joe 5]

Have the politicians taken over the club ?

[Underdog 1,593]

Cherry Ridge and all of its ridiculous rules and busybodies is why I never joined.   And now this one...

[Vlad G 345]

Before everyone starts raging, you can just contact the board members and ask. You never know when something gets misunderstood along the way. For example he might have been saying that the rules for skeet/clays/whatever matches now require a maximum of 2 rounds in the gun, and nothing to do with any limits for general usage.

 

The board contact information is on the club website. Use it.

[AnthonyG 36]

I believe it would have to go to a vote, the club is owned by all the members and the board members would not be able to pass that rule without a majority of membership approval. Unless it became some sort of Jackson township regulation or state mandate I dont see how it could happen, and if it came down the pipe that way it would be in our monthly news flyer.

[M4BGRINGO 139]

Citizens has a mag limit of five rounds indoors, and no rapid firing.

[TheDon 3]

It is a trap/skeet range.  The official rules allow for only one or two rounds. 

[dwamp2006 1]

How many targets were you shooting at? this is from their website rules page....

Was always two max at the Skeet/Trap. No limit in the pits. Has been in the rules for a while now.

[tony357 386]

2 rounds is the norm when skeet or trap shooting the reason the over under is the norm for this event,  among friends when skeet shooting you may have a outside rule change to allow more than 2..  

 

competitively you may only have 2.

I get the whole "their range their rules" but...

 

 

What difference does it make?

[Danno 127]

Well I was shooting alone so it wasn't a match. I did have a whole case of clays so you can say I was shooting at 90 targets Again, when I asked about this rule he said it will be in the new rules.

[Mikeythumbs 1]

This is for the trap skeet fields only and it has always has been in the rules. It is not match rules it is the rules on the trap/skeet range.

[djg0770 481]

This is typical for most trap/skeet ranges as this is how trap/skeet is "played".

Although I'm not a member, I've been a Guest a time or three to the CJ Trap Ranges.  This "Rule" is common sense and has been in-place for as long as I can remember at EVERY Club I've ever shot at that has traditional Trap and Skeet machines.  The rule is intended to provide a common level of SAFETY, since most clay bird throwers (even the $600 Lincoln brand) can't accommodate more than two clays at a time (shooting doubles).  What the rule effectively does is render the gun unable to fire (after two ignitions), so IF a machine jams, someone isn't leaning/leaving a LOADED firearm unattended (especially if shooting alone with a delay machine) while working to clear the broken bird(s) from an electro-mechanical thrower.  Pump action guns are great (I use a pump at Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays which also has the 2-shell rule), and for that matter so are semi's, but some shooters get lazy when it comes to SAFETY, so rules are in-place to prevent idiots from putting a 10-round tube on their shotty and leaving 8 or 9 rounds in the gun while they clear a jam.  Can some folks who ARE SAFE operate their guns with 10 rounds in the tube?  YES, of course they can!  But unfortunately rules are written for the lowest common denominator--the LAZY Shooter--who doesn't want to stroke 4-9 rounds onto the ground and have to bend-over to pick them up and wipe them off.........

 

Not everybody is a Tom Knapp kinda guy.......

 

Just my 2 cents.
