That's what I've been sayin' Maks (pronounced Max).

What kind of mags are you waiting for?

Since I am responsible for every round I send down range, I don't shoot at anything unless I know where the bullet is going to stop. I guess the rednecks don't want common sense ruining their fun. Oh well, how much damage can a .22LR do to a double wide. Not like any of those rounds are going to hit a Noble laureate.

I realize that I can only load 10+1 in Production. I can't load 27+1 in an Open gun though, according to NJ Law. 15 +1 would make shooting Open a weird experience and screw me up for shooting elsewhere. NJ is not a good state in which to live if you want to shoot Open Class. You will always be at a disadvantage since you are not going to matches where you can use a large cap mag. Of course, you do not want to violate NJ law just to compete so we are hosed. The 9c is set up as a competition gun for Production and the gun is better than my vision. My eyes are only good to 25 - 30 yds with iron sights whether its the 9c or the 9L. No problem. There are no shots farther than 30 yards. Does yours have a magazine disconnect safety? If so, keep an empty magazine in your pocket. When the command "If clear, hammer down and holster." is given insert the mag, pull trigger and remove mag. Then holster. There is still room in the USPSA Introduction Class I am running at Shongum. I'm just sayin'.

I'll be there. Ralph and Karen are on vacation so we really need people to come early, as in 8:00AM, and help setup. I will be an RO on one squad. The weather should be great.

From Ron Gumann: [[email protected]] September match this Saturday September 4th. Pistol match is 100 rounds. Registration is 9:30AM and help with setting up and packing up is always needed and appreciated. There will be a shotgun side stage after the pistol match is packed up for those who wish to stay. It is 17 rounds. All birdshot 71/2 or smaller. It will be time permitting. We will provide the score sheet and take payment at the start of the shotgun stage. NOTE: If you plan to attend, reply to this email and let Ron know by Thursday 8am. If you are new and need the safety briefing be there by 9am and see Ron. If the match is cancelled for weather, Ron will send out an email notification around 5pm on Friday and this post will report the cancellation. Also, note possible RO class. I have approximately 20 folks interested. If you are please let me know. RO CLASS NOTICE

PM me to remind me. Also, I should be at the last 2x4 match in October. Come to think of it, I may be a Cherry Ridge this weekend.

I CX4 has the trigger, hammer and guide rod mods. If you are at Shongum or Cherry Ridge, you can give it a try. The most noticeable difference is the trigger pull is smoother. I finished 4th out of 12 at the last rifle match at Shongum. Most of the guys have tricked out ARs with high end scopes. I have a cheap red dot.

Good point. I plan on running the tumbler outside and I will use a mask when separating the brass and media. Any other safety suggestions?

John seems to know what he is doing. How much does he charge? I know some of the 2x4 match participants stopped by there.

That makes me less than mediocre. :cry:

Get in, and you will never want to get out. That is of course if you don't reload and buy factory ammo. You will shoot around 180 rounds on an average match. And if you shoot 2-3 matches per month and IF you practice, your wallet will need some lube. Who has time to shoot 2-3 matches a month? But if you did, you'd be as good as Ronnie.

If only there was an introduction class to help you get started. Oh...there is: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=9286

A Mike is a miss (oh the irony.) The white targets are the No-shoots who deserve to get shot for being in the way.

Good luck Maks. Shoot slow and get "A"s.

Interesting statistics for the Shongum USPSA matches: 6/09 - 30 shooters 8/09 - 35 shoooters 6/10 - 40 shooters 8/10 - 44 shooters NJGunForums effect?

It's the scope and mount for my damn Cx4, what to do! Did you get the Sierra Papa trigger and hammer replacement? http://sierrapapacx4.com/CX4_Hammer.htm

If you stay until the end of the match and help break down and clean up, you get a share of the mixed-brass. I'll even give you a free container for your brass.

Awwww shucks, you can't pick up your own brass??? Is this true? you can't take you r brass? Yes, you cannot take your brass. It slows the match down too much. In addition, with four shooters blasting away, it would be impossible to tell who's brass you were picking up.

UPDATE: From HazMatt: We're going to run a couple of lever-action carbine matches if at least four of you nuts bring 'em ( pistol-caliber only!) Remember, this is a lost brass match, and there are to be no uncased firearms off the firing line, so keep your ammo/mags and firearms separate. Bring a friend or two; membership is not necessary to shoot an event at Cherry Ridge.

Alright! Welcome to the club. It is way more fun than punching paper. 1) When you get to the table, fold your arms. I have found it to be the best way to keep them from doing something stupid. 2) Watch the match directors and do not do anything until told to do so. 3) Watch that muzzle! Especially went reloading or clearing a jam. 4) Finger off the trigger when reloading and clearing a jam. 5) Start by shooting slowly but accurately. Slow hits are better than fast misses. If you start missing, your first instinct is to speed up to make up for the misses. Get your head back to together, focus on the front sight and get hits. 6) Just remember, it's just a bunch of people shooting at boards so don't take it too seriously. We don't.

Any sights are allowed. We are a loose bunch of wood shooters. If it's a pistol, it's allowed.

This may be a group buy opportunity but don't look at me as I am reloading. http://georgia-arms.com/index.aspx

Not to worry. HazMatt will be too busy razzing the regulars to notice anything you do.
