I there a way to observe without participating?  I'm thinking about joining OBRPC but want to check out the range first.

 

Yes, during matches the range is open, you can follow the driving directions and just drive in and say hi. Look for Jim or Dave, everyone should be able to point you in the correct direction. Bring eye and ear protection and use it if the match is underway.

Well its obvious that we didn't have a match today. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for the 2-gun match next week. Hopefully we'll have enough melt to get the range open so we can hold a match! Watch the websites and as a last resort check the phone Sunday morning.

Don't be angry, weather is one thing we cannot control. Had the weather hit us two days later, we would have had a match last week, two or three days earlier and we'd have a match this week. Planning a match in January or February is always an iffy thing. we lost both months last year.

I guess I'll be a real old fart and hang out with the other old farts at Quinton tomorrow and shoot a round of sporting clays. 

 

Anyone want to join me, how about some of the 3 gunners that complain about flying clays because they can't hit any? 

 

If you want to go though you gotta pull your pants up, get a haircut and stay off my lawn ya damn wippersnappers.

Yes its best carried on your belt. But when i couldnt. I used pockets. Whatever it takes to get it done. Its alot less formal than the idpa match today. No cover or concealment. Just safety rules apply. Midway usa has some decent individual mag holders for the ars at about 20$ ea.

All carried on your belt? Looking up some equipment...

 

Actually I'd even say 3 for rifle, as some of the starts are going to be empty rifle starts and don't assume you will hit every shot you fire.

 

If this is your first match, pockets work, but you want something on your belt ideally. Don't go spending tons of money. A couple of cheap Uncle Mike's double mag pouches for the pistol mags will be fine, so will be any made by bladetech, etc.  For rifle mag pouches, look at at Bladetech, Safariland, and Ready Tac, those are my favorites.

 

But again, if this is a first match pockets work, 1960's 3-mag pouches people buy at gun shows for $5 will work, if you have a chest rig you can use that, don't over think it because the auxiliary equipment is unlikely to make or break your match.

Blade Tech Double mag pouch w/ Tek Lok...

 

Let me know - I'm in Linden and work in Woodbridge.

Thanks Nick. I had assumed you were going to the match and had extras laying around. If you're not going to the match, don't worry about it. I have a chest rig I can use. I just didn't want to look like I'm trying to be some mall ninja, but it'll have to do.

Nah - going to the CNJFO hunt on the 5th so I'm out for next weekend.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
