Now THAT is a fun read! Apparently I am prepared for killer tree hordes, feral poodles, and patient bad guys. Thanks!

Dan - I think we hit enter simultaneously

http://cjuspsa.org/ Yup - beautiful day for it. I still suck , but it was fun!

I thought this was a good description of an IDPA event by someone new to the sport. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2012/03/tim-mcnabb/a-day-of-idpa-part-1-the-noob-experience/

Impressive. The F-16 "Lawn Dart" is not known for its glide ratio.

Thanks!

What's registration time?

That's beautiful. What's your opinion on these? I think it'd break my wrist.

Nah, no shit storm. You're right, I AM stupid.

Don't bother buying any tickets - I have the sole winner.

Reviving this dormant thread - thought this article had some good info. http://www.adn.com/2012/03/08/2359636/gun-is-no-insurance-policy-in.html

I wanted to get a few rounds through the 226 before Sunday, so yes I was cheating! BTW it seems to shoot low, but I'll give it more time. I'm using #3 in the picture below and it still seems 3" low at ten yards.

Sigh. Was at 14 today and looks like no progress since YWHIC's picture on Feb 22. Three tables open at the rifle range. Crowded today, too. Had a good time with my son and his friend (a first time shooter.) An hour on the pistol range and some time at the skeet fields.

I happened to be passing by on I-95 here in Ewing when a cop put a deer out of its misery, about two years ago. Heard the shot just as I was even with them. So, I'll answer "yes". Not sure if he was township or a Statey, but being on I-95 probably State.

I'm going to try not to wuss out this time. Me and my boy Nick.

GO there every Tuesday for lunch with some of my co-workers. If it's not the best, it's darn close.

Thanks for all the advice! Old School is probably right, I'll leave this one alone but the pricing info will be valuable when I build my next AR.

Welcome! There are several good places in NJ to purchase guns. This forum has an entire section of sponsors, including gun dealers. You can also purchase online at places like Budsgunshop.com, Grabagun.com or Gunbroker.com (auction site, think eBay for big boys and girls). I can't really address places to shoot as I am unfamiliar with the Sayreville area. I shoot at Ft. Dix Range 14 and for regular civilians it's only $60/year +$3 per hour, but that would be a hike for you to get to (although it's at least an hour drive for me, too, but I pay even less being retired military.) Not 100% sure about the Umarex, but as long as magazines are 15 rounders or less, stock doesn't fold/collapse and it does not have a flash hider it should be okay. You can ask any of the dealers here to be sure. The first person who welcomed you, PK90, is a vendor and has a great rep among forum members. I'd start there. There are a lot of AR-style .22lrs available that are NJ legal if the Umarex is not, so look around and if you can find a range near you that rents any, try them out. Again, hello and enjoy the forums!

No contour. And I'm not sure I need a brake, just considering it. I'm not even sure I want to do anything to risk how accurate this thing is either. Picture's below.

I didn't know that about Shongum, never shot there before. CJRPC would have been a mud pit. I don't mind the mud and grime for myself - I'm just too lazy to clean my equipment afterward. Sounds like a fun day! It's beautiful out now as I write this.

My LMT has no brake and no thread for a brake on the barrel. Minus the cost of the brake, what would it cost to have the barrel threaded and the brake installed/pinned? And, what are the downsides of adding a muzzle brake? Thanks in advance...

I look silly with or without a name tag. I don't have a t-shirt yet, and last I checked the thread, Maks didn't have any larges. I'm keeping an eye out, though.

+1 for name tags. I planned on going, but instead my back went out without me. Been a sucky few days. Next one is March 14th in Belleville I believe. Scott Bach's the speaker. I'm going to do my best to finally attend a meeting. Is anyone against wearing a a "Hello my name is" with their NJGunforum name on it?

Oh well, we bailed. What's next weekend?

Same sitch - righty, but left eye dominant. I have shooting glasses on which I painted the left lens black and I shoot long guns with both eyes open. Although with a red dot, I don't need to cover my left eye.
