Oh, I had a great time too! This was my first Shotgun Shootout - I was a little nervous beforehand but other than putting faces to names (which was definitely GREAT) - I also just really appreciated that people were so helpful, giving guidance, loaning their shotguns, explaining things, etc. I was so freakin' excited that I hit some clays! (I was so sure beforehand that I wouldn't!) So, a good crowd and a good time! Thanks to everyone for being so nice to this newbie! Hope to see you at subsequent Shootouts.

Thank y'all for a fantastic day! I really enjoyed meeting y'all and putting faces to names. It was a LOT of fun, and I'm looking forward to the next get together! I get humbled when I get the privilege of participating in an event like this, and see everyone come together, share stories, help one another out, and pull together to clean up the mess afterwards. Truly inspiring, and it makes me proud to be associated with such high quality people like all of you. Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing y'all again soon!!

I'm loaded up... Except for the Shotguns and the Cigars. Those will be grabbed on the way out the door!

Good time today. Got to meet some new people and as always good to see the regulars! Next up pumpkin shoot!!!! For those that haven't been you are not going to want to miss the pumpkin shoot

Anybody have a field grade browning for sale???? Uggg...

You're MORE than welcome!! Don't forget the matching Browning accessories!!! You HAVE to match!!!

I also thoroughly enjoyed today’s Shotgun Shootout in Clinton and am glad the sun stayed behind the clouds until we were finished. I will echo other attendees who have already said it was good to finally meet and chat with most of you and to now be able to associate a screen name with the real person behind it. Thanks to those who brought and those who operated the clay throwers, as well as Mrs. Peel for the finger food and the all-around camaraderie of our NJGF group. I was impressed with the consistent accuracy demonstrated by quite a number of shooters, especially those who do not shoot shotguns on a regular basis. I am so glad I was finally able to attend this shootout and am looking forward to the next gathering and the upcoming pumpkin shoot. AVB-AMG

No, the picture cleary shows galvanized electrical pipes. So, the "experts" where correct.

Big, huge thank you to @RecessedFilterfor giving @Mrs.Zekepointers.

A light coating of whatever you use for a lubricant will work as well. So will a light layer of chapstick/balmex or Vaseline. I just prefer the WD40. If it's really in bad shape already, a pencil eraser can get you back to a clear lens. Depending on the light - if it's a cheaper light with a plastic lens - you may scratch up the lens.

Hmmm, I think I need that. For the ranch. Yeah, that's it....for the ranch.

Actually yeah the Cigars were going to go in the car seat... lol..

48 posts... 2 following the thread... and now there's bitter in-fighting as some of you struggle to claim the title of "World Champion Supreme Solver of the Pipe Mystery". Damn, I should just string together a completely unrelated pile of pipes, gears and wires against my basement wall, post the pic on here and say, "Gee, boys... what ever could THIS be?" I do believe your heads would explode!

Bhunted is right, Ray Ray copied all is right in the world

I'm bringing my model 21 for those who are interested to check out, it won't be sitting out so just ask me for it.

PAST Field Shield. Now apparently it's the Caldwell Field Shield. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009TRNRK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Midway's listing still says PAST - https://www.midwayusa.com/product/680235/past-field-recoil-pad-shield-ambidextrous It's great protection against recoil but I only really use it because I shoot the O/U a lot. It adds a little to the length of pull too.

Indeed! Lagavulin it shall be, lol! CHEERS!

Lol @ black pipe thread protector as coupelings. Seen it quite a few times. I always get a chuckel when people think that the supply house gave them free fittings

Peel had mini-wraps in a pinwheel sorta thing going on (I had one & it was TASTY!), and cookies & Dunkin Munchkins & a "box of Joe" & fixins. People next to us in the red pick-up had a propane stove & made cheesesteaks! Next time I'm bringing my little webber grill & doing hot dogs for everyone. They can lock me up for cooking there, lol!

Think he meant to say that sometimes, people do odd stuff on their own... like use pipe that isn't rated for pressure on a water line. There is a few neighborhoods in Toms River with blue poly water lines, which the poly is not a size that any fitting works with. Very thin walls, so I'm guessing a contractor got ahold of some underground conduit... and rigged up some water lines prior to inspections being as important. Solution for that... shove 3/4" poly through it and connect. At least it is now sleeved. [emoji106] I've seen people use gas pipe thread protectors as couplings, and wonder why they bottomed out the threads on the pipe (looser threads). When someone that doesn't know what they are doing decides they want to do something themselves, instead of hiring someone who know what they are doing... the sky is the limit.

Come on now I don't think I've been hard on youze guys at all (so far)

It was great meeting everyone. I just want to let you know, I've probably already forgotten your names.... I'm terrible remembering names. A big thanks to those who brought the throwers and to those who threw the birds.

lol nope i have my 425 never shoot it but probably never sell it

i'm gonna ask some probably stupid questions. 1) first and formost.....on their site, they suggest watching first if one has never shot one of these. should i? 2) presuming i can/do shoot.......what's necessary as far as sights? i'm still running just eotech or iron sights right now. 3) slings for both rifle and shotgun? i'll probably come up with more, and apologize if i'm cluttering the thread....just figured there might be other noobs too that it might help to see the answers. thanks!

Hello all had a great time today. Nice to put a face to the screen name. If anyone found a green Nalgene water bottle I left behind, if you would be so kind as to bring it to the next shootout? Thanks

850 with the ammo is good.

Get a WD40 pen. Lightly coat the lens. The carbon and soot will stick to the WD40 and you can wipe it off easily. I do this to all my weapon mounted lights Another option is to move the light forward or back a bit.

So I'm coming. Bringing a a thrower and hunting permit ALSO BRINGING MY 930 Which is FOR SALE

Oh crap, cigars. I have to remember to pack a few.

Do it. I double dog dare you...

I will be manning the CNJFO booth at Sayreville Day tomorrow (9/17) noon-4pm. Stop by and say hello. Buy a hat and a t-shirt. Make a donation! Looking forward to getting visibility outside the gun community.

Just wait till you see how I will be transporting my gear.

Hey, ya gonna give credit to folks, give it to the correct folks. No second place trophies. ....and may sounds like a visit from the feds too look at what you tied together, may be an order. Careful what you play with in your basement. [emoji23][emoji37] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Krdshrk: I just hope you do not get stopped by a NJ State Police officer. One quick look through the back window of your vehicle and his first impression, seeing the battery, shotgun shells boxs, other boxes and thrower/launcher contraption, may be to speculate that you have one bizarre looking home-made car bomb.... We really do not want you to be late tomorrow because he detained you while he requested back up from the NJSP bomb squad... (heh, heh). Also, let me guess, the child booster seat fastened on the rear passenger seat behind the driver is really your way of strapping in and protecting your extensive and expensive cigar collection when traveling.... Very creative! See you all tomorrow.... AVB-AMG

What the Frack! I said it was electrical before anyone. (Message 8) Geezus! [emoji36][emoji6][emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Peel, what you have here is a great start! Here's a few more common-sense safety rules most private clubs have adopted that apply to scattergunnin' : *Keep actions OPEN AT ALL TIMES (for pumps & semi's slide the bolt back so you can see an empty chamber). All actions should be opened as soon as guns are uncased. O/U & SxS break-actions should be broken open as soon as they leave the vehicle upon your arrival and again at the gun rack and carried into the shooting cage/station OPEN. While in the rack, O/U and SxS may remain closed. As soon as you pick them up out of the gun rack, they get pointed in a safe direction (usually the ground) & broken OPEN. When finished shooting, make the gun "safe" by opening the action PRIOR to leaving the cage / shooting station. A shotgun with a closed action is an invitation to trouble. A loaded shotgun with an open action is bound to happen at an event such as this. If it's loaded & OPEN, you can still break another rule & not kill anybody *Observe the "Muzzle-UP Rule" when playing "Show & Tell". Nobody gets "swept" that way as we check-out each others "toyz". Show & Tell with muzzles pointed in a safe direction (preferably DOWN RANGE instead of towards parking lot while arriving shooters are looking for parking spaces). Mentors watch their guests shoot & assist as necessary, they don't shoot simultaneously. This way the experienced Mentors keep a better eye on muzzle control & eliminate "sweeping". And everybody goes home with the same number of holes they started with . Special note for Clinton WMA: The new gun racks they built don't allow the shotguns to "lean enough" on a windy day. The wind can blow-over your expensive scattergun ONTO CONCRETE, so I recommend the use of a blanket on the ground (or your gun case) with all muzzles pointed DOWN RANGE. Less damage to guns that way (yes I've seen it myself and it happened to Steve, a member here). Rosey NRA Chief Range Safety Officer

He is actual right most often. He just doesn't know it.

As much as it pains me to say it..... RayRay was right. *spit*

Thanks for sharing

Call Sam and Dean Winchester. You just released the Darkness. Maybe Castiel can help too.

850. sounds about right!

the ONLY mistake was sending him the gun..

Old hot tub? Pool? Or bomb shelter? Heated slab? That was kinda popular in the 70s Whats above the pipes?

Electrical conduits. Period. Not fuel oil, those would be copper, and not plumbing. Sorry. Rayray Is right.

I have those fancy electronic ear pro, I can jus turn them off... lol

Zeke (& Mrs. Peel): I was planning on showing my little roadster at a local car show this Sunday, but since I could not attend the last shoot out/get-together, I realize that I did say I would attend the next one.... and my credibility is at stake. So I am bagging the car show and will join you all on Sunday. I will have slathered on my 100 SPF sunscreen beforehand and I will bring 2 boxes of clays along with a case of cold bottle water for folks. I will bring my Beretta 692 Sporting 12 gauge shotgun and a bunch of #8 shells. After a two month hiatus from shotguns, I was able to shoot 100 rounds this morning at Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays in Coplay, PA, enjoying this warm summer weather, so I should be ready. Looking forward to meeting you all and aligning faces with NJGF screen names. See you Sunday... AVB-AMG
