Matt, First of all, thanks for taking the lead on this. The monthly meet is going to keep growing and will be even more fun as it moves forward, and we all have you to thank (blame) for it's success. Although I would make it either day, I think we should standardize on the Second Sunday plan. I like the idea of starting a tradition, and since you've done such a great job organizing and pushing for the Sunday as our fixed date, I don't think that should change. K

When WalMart (PA) has them, they're around 15 bucks. They run out quick, but sometimes you can get lucky.

There are any number of things I haven't done since joining here.

I've never done that type of fishing, but it sounds like a great time. Nothing tastes like fresh salmon. Good luck, and have fun. K

And I'm sure you could get special dispensation for a group picture.

Nice shootin', Tex. I may try that, but I don't know if I have enough energy to throw and shoot. Looks exhausting.

I thought the law requires that NICS information only be active for 48 hours, and the record deleted after that

Maybe you should have some of it grafted onto your trigger finger. Wow..... That was just too easy.... but nicely done.... I already let one gimme slip by. I don't have the will power to let another one pass.

I'm over my shame now. I've corrected the errors, and I won't be making that particular mistake again.

Welcome. I apologize for getting your name wrong on my posts. I don't know why I thought you were John. How embarrassing. Ken

Each day is another closer to death - may as well enjoy every minute of it. Inspirational in a depressing and macabre sort of way. But you're right... no one escapes alive.

First time out, with Mark's thrower and my HD gun, I was embarrassingly bad. Far worse than I was with Godzilla on Sunday. I'll be practicing with the new gun between now and the next meet. I wouldn't want to bring down the overall score of the northern group at the upcoming North/South event.

It's just too easy. I won't say it, but I want you to know that I could.

Outstanding! If I wasn't looking forward to the date before (I was), I'm really anxious now. Maksim?

Man, it took you long enough to decide. Nearly 24 whole hours from "WTF is this all about" to "gonna be a Rem 870 for me". I hope you don't hem and haw about everything like that. Nothing would ever get done. Congrats on your choice. Now, go forth and help the economy. K

John, If you don't decide before the next meet, come up and choose from the vast selection of available shotguns at the monthly Northern Hoedown. We had 10 guys and probably 16 or 18 guns there, from entry level through nice high-end tools. Real eye candy, and a good opportunity to try out a wide range of guns. K

Rescreen or not, doesn't matter. They could have kept them at the waiting area at the gate, and provided for them there. That area is past the screeners and is considered secure in every airport I've ever been in.

Rose, You seem a sensible and reasonable person, and I appreciate your response. Another quote that fits your thinking might be this one attributed to Jefferson: "He who hammers their guns into plowshares will plow for those who don't" K

With all of the guys that we've been hosting in at CR signing up next month, there's going to be plenty of room for other guests. Everyone who's come through has exactly the same thing to say about CR... "I love this place", so if anyone needs to come as a guest just to check the place out and enjoy a little NJGF camaraderie, there'll never be a better time.

Gotta love an employee discount. You get to go broke that much faster.

Who else is he bringing? We need Maks ( Intrepid Leader). Will he be back by then?

Followup from Dave. He had a great time and a lot of fun. He's looking forward to the next outing. He says that was what they called him when he was in the Air Force. Apparently, he was a bit odd then, too.

I've only shot the Remington a few times and I own a Mossberg 500. As was already said, both guns are tanks and will last as long you do, but the Mossberg seems to be an easier (for me, YMMV) gun to shoot, load and manage. Either would be fine for general use. Play with them both, and it should come down to which one feels better for you.

Greetings and welcome.
