Sunday March 3rd - Gun Chat & Coffee - Starbucks Phillipsburgh

[Maksim 1,504]

Hey folks,

I know it is very short notice but having an impromptu meeting with some forum staff in the area and wanted to see if anyone wants to get together and grab some coffee.

Figure around 5 PM or so.

@Pizza Bob held these awesome events a few years ago so wanted to do a few more.

Waiting for all the grumpy old men to chime in and bitch about supporting Starbucks...

If it was closer I would.

Missed it by a day - shot an IDPA match in P-burg yesterday. Hope you have a few people show up and no push-back.

Adios,

Pizza Bob

So when I put this post I totally forgot about the snow.

In either case, 4 of us got together and had a good time.  Was a pleasure to meet you @father-of-three and welcome back to the area!

We talked loudly about firearms, no one batted an eye... then again, this is Western NJ.

@Pizza Bob was thinking about the IDPA match yesterday but got caught up with errands.   How many stages is it usually? Round count?

Was definitely slick getting home... but worth it.

Phillipsburg is 8 stages - four indoors and four outdoors. If the weather is bad or the outdoor range snow covered - as it was on Saturday - then they do all 8 stages indoors. That makes for a long day. Match started at noon and didn't get home until 7 PM.

Usually do Shongum USPSA on the first weekend, weather permitting or Guthsville IDPA in season (April - November). P-burg is a fallback alternative. I'm getting less tolerant of bad / cold weather as I get older, so while I prefer to shoot outdoors, the indoor matches are great for year round activity.

Adios,

Pizza Bob

Awesome. How many folks showed up?

And Pburgh has an outside range too?!  I thought it was just indoors.

I think we had 20 yesterday, which is pretty typical.

A nice manageable number. =)
