I also shot yesterday for the first time since joining Range 14 a little while back. Thanks to Tony for leading the way so I didn't look like too much of a n00b. I had a blast and will be going back. I want to do trap too so I can practice with my new shotgun. It is about the same distance from my house at CJ but much cheaper. I saw that brass guy, he had that little rake and was picking up everybody's brass. Man, I bet he had over a thousand rounds in that bag he was carrying. I only had a little bit of .40 S&W and picked it up before he got to me

I was wondering how she did that?

Thanks Tony, yes he does! He has two things going for him, he is younger so his reflexes are quicker and he does not have to fix what he breaks. I tend to ease off just a little before each turn and he goes BTTW all the way around the track. One event I was beating him in the first seven heats and one of our buddies was ribbing him. He ended up beating me by 1/1000 of a second in the last heat! My PT Club is called the Garden State Crew-zers and we do 12-15 events in and around New Jersey but have gone as far south as Florida, north to Niagara Falls and out to the west coast. Many of our events are parades, town festivals and charity events like fund raisers and causes like the annual MS Walk in Sandy Hook. We are a non-profit org.

I find my hobbies are so expensive and time consuming that I can only do one at a time. We have gone from Jet Ski Racing, Boating, Car Restoration, Car racing (Autocrossing) and now, collecting and shooting guns. I was telling Matt about our autocrossing cars yesterday so I figured I would share a few pics. My son and I did ALL the work o all of our toys ourselves, from engine and transmission building, body work, painting, welding, graphics, etc. We even mounted our own tires! We did this for three seasons before moving on to another hobby, and he was class champion all three years (I took second place two seasons). If you like to drive, you should try autocrossing sometime. It is absolutely the most fun you will ever have driving a car. First Season Race VW - 1964 GTI season 2 & 3 - 1984 Race Rabbit 1.7L Score: Son 52 trophies, 44 consecutive 1st Place Finishes (out of 53 events) Dad A bunch of second and third place finishes Did I mention I own and run the largest PT Cruiser Club in America?

Yes, we wish you could too. You are much funnier in person. I especially loved the look on your face whenever Tim would plink you on the head with a 7.62 shell. Pretty hot, aren't they? What you did not see was the tinniest of grins on his face every time you yelled "ouch". That rifle you picked up was real nice and shot very well. Here's a hint for next time you get down. If you are sharing a table with a guy with a Semi and you are shooting Bolt, take the LEFT side. :laughing-rolling: Gotta give a shout out to Tim and Tony for letting me tag along for my first time at the range. Now that I know the procedures, I will have no problem shooting there.

Beautiful Chad! Is there a point when the tank is "done" or is it something you just keep adding stuff to forever? I'de imagine there is a limit to the number of fish it would support but not sure about the corals and clams. I would think you could never have enough clam? (Sorry, I could not resist)

Nice!

On the way home from Range 14 this afternoon I noticed a sign on the side of the road that said "Park Rod & Gun Club". I am guessing it was in Lakehurst or Manchester on 530. Anybody know anything about this place?

Friends don't let friends shoot Glocks! :laughing-rolling:

Edit: He lives! I guess I have to stop picking on Matt now? He showed up at range 14 today with Tim. We had 5 forum members shooting and Tony had three guests. It was a little chilly (about 40 degrees) but a beautiful day.

Howdy and welcome from Toms River :text-welcomewave:

Welcome from Toms River. My son went to Rutgers, lived on Busch. Had a great time, graduated on time and got very good jobs out of it.

My niece lived on Kodiak Island for 2 years. Learned how to shoot a rifle and cook kodiak bear! Said it tastes pretty good. Her husband was stationed there by the USCG. She always says it was the best two years of her life, and the worst two years of her life. Women, go figure

Wow, great photo Mal!

I got more! If I make it there this week, come on over and try some out! :violence-pistoldouble:

so it looks like the Brick store will be mostly clothes. shoes and team stuff. There is little profit in guns and ammo and most hard lines like fishing tackle and sporting goods is poor too. The real profit is in clothes and shoes.

Wow, were your ears ringing? We were just talking about you yesterday. How you been?

Just shoot the mo-fo, pick up his knife and cut your arm!

I dug out a box of 147gr 9mm Precision lead that I loaded last year and brought it to the BA meet on Wednesday. This stuff shoots great! It is a little smokey but has low recoil and very accurate. Chad shot a 5 shot group that could probably be covered with a .50 piece and he had never shot my XD before. We loaded this stuff especially for steel shoots, fast recovery from shot to shot and low recoil. For the price, it is good stuff.

Very easy! All you need is a little punch and a fine jeweler's file. We did the whole thing in about an hour. The second one was a little quicker.

Hey Matt, stop yapping and bolt that thing to a table and start reloading already!

If you look at how a primer is made, the back side would present the greatest danger of detonation. Once it is inserted into a shell, the back side is pretty much protected. I think that is why a hazmat fee is not required.

DON'T SHOOT WOLFY'S GUNS! You will end up wanting one. Make sure you go to a meet and try as many different brands as you can. I always bring an XD or two and you are welcome to shoot mine. Both have trigger kits so you can see how smooth they can be for a very easy mod.

Shore Shot and Brick Armory are 5 minutes apart. Both off Exit 89 of the GSP.
