Well, we missed you guys! It was beautiful at the range today, nice sun, not bloody hot and a breeze out of the north. It did start to pick up a bit by the time I left but we had a good time.

Right now it looks like the weather is holding so I should be there too!

Welcome from Toms River, lots of good places around. Quite a few of us shoot at Fort Dix Range 14, Shore Shot and Brick Armory as well a CJRP. When you decide what you want, you can use the price finder here to get a good price from a supporting vendor. If you want to try out before you buy, Shore Shot has a wide selection of pistols, or you can come out on a Tuesday and shoot what we bring. You can even request something and if one of us has one, we would be happy to bring it out for you.

Crap! My wife threw out all the leftover eggs! What was she thinking?

Friday is not looking too good right now, weather wise, but you never know?

Anybody going shooting?

Welcome to the forum from Toms River. I grew up in the Oranges a long (long) time ago! Make sure you go out and try a bunch of guns before you decide on one. My son and I shot a bunch of Glocks, Berettas, Sigs and M&Ps before settling on our XDs. We also have a Buckmark and Ruger Mk III for plinking and cheap shooting. Both are real tack drivers. You are welcome to come on down to Brick Armory on Tuesday nights to shoot a plethora of pistols!

One great score, good for you!

Max's post was from 11:36pm Saturday night so I am guessing he is there today?

Thanks Tony, It is a great shooter. I hope everyone that bought one of those is enjoying theirs as much as we are.

Had a great day today at the range! Rifle range was not busy, got a table right away and shot trap after that. I like Trap much better than Skeet! My son loved the Mosin and the Remmy 870, his shoulder....not so much

Well, maybe after you bag your limit? Is there a limit? I don't think I ever (seriously) fished fresh water. Is it as addicting as shooting? Do you have one of those vests and tiny nets. I used to go to Hackestown as a kid and see all the trout in the fishery. The guy would throw in food pellets and all the fish would rush over to eat, like in a big aquarium. Well, you have a great time out there and don't get too annoyed at all the other people that are crowding your spot. Remember, they think it is their spot too.

Bring the Mosin?

"The new walls planed are not designed for action pistol (i.e. cowboy action, uspsa, steel, etc)." Really? Don't they have to be built to some sort of code for a range? I seem to remember the walls at BA needed to be concrete blocks and fully filled with cement?

Maybe he will be early? I don't think we will get there before noon. He has to get haircut and car wash first. I will be driving the Blue Nitro so if anybody sees us, stop on over and say Hi!

My son is going to be around Saturday and wants to try out the Mosin and my new Remmy 870. Thinking about heading over to Dix. Maybe since it is only going to be in the 60s, it won't be too crowded? Any of you weekend people know if it gets slower in the afternoon or more crazy? Anyone else thinking about heading over?

Max, did you find the Trap easier to hit than Skeet?

Max, you provoked him! Nice Avatar Chad. I can't believe how relaxed Mrs. Chad is shooting that big gun! Tim, looking forward to it!

Not problem , I was probably driving out the back as you guys were coming in from the front ( I am coming in from south/east through Browns Mill). I checked when I got home and had your number wrong, and I didn't have Chad's number to call and see if he was coming (and I had my Storm for Mrs. Chad to shoot).

I thought of that but that seemed more awkward than just holding it in my hand, the buttons seem so small. Somebody had put a loop in the cord with a wire tie so it would stay around my wrist.

Well, I got there at 1:30 and the first open tables were at 4:20 so I signed up for a table and a skeet field. I did not recognize any forum people. Got on the skeet field around 2:30, shot a round by myself and then held it for an hour just in case somebody showed up. A little tricky holding the controller, hitting the button and shooting the clay, but it was fun. It was hot out on the field today but there was a breeze. I decided to bail at 3:30 (I tried to call you Maks but I must have your cell phone number wrong) so I had a short day out in the 90 degree sun.

I bought an 870 express from Dick's last October. It was on sale and had a $50.00 rebate, it was a steel!

I agree, but I was looking forward to shooting steel meets this year. CR is pretty far from me.

Thanks Jimmy. Shane, looks like a deadlock, might be tied up for years and may never get resolved? Shame since they already spent all that money on the project to get to where they are now.

Not a member there but was considering joining. My son and I had done some steel shoots there in the past. got a weird email today from a member about the lead remediation in the pits? I know they were rebuilding them, will they be ready for the season? Was this project halted by the Pinelands Commission? One would have thought all the plans and permits would have been in place before they even started? Anyone got any insights?
