Set the date and I'll be there. As far as capacity goes, we don't have enough members to make a difference at Cherry Ridge. There are probably 175 or more shooting positions in total across the various ranges, and when the range is crowded, guests are expected to share a shooting position with their host. Bring as many as want to come... all are welcome here in the great Northern Frontier. K

It would take a hell of an attorney to get you out this. Midnight, dark, in the Bronx, shooting down a residential street at a fleeing man with a gun that isn't yours and that you're totally unfamiliar with. Even I would vote guilty.

If you're threatened and have to shoot, you shoot until the threat is stopped. A person running away from you is no threat. Any more than that is criminal, and rightly so.

I agree. The more, the merrier.

It was on the news this morning. Homeowner wrestles a gun away from one of four invaders and shoots. One shot dead in the entrance hall, the other wounded outside by 2 shots as he tried to run away, 2 escape. I didn't see any spin on the circumstances, as it was early and the story was still developing, but I won't be surprised if the homeowner gets the short end of this one. Ya don't shoot people running away. It's New York, not Texas.

Greetings and welcome.

Even the P22's barrel is threaded. It has a nut on the end to protect the threads, but take the nut off and the barrel threads are right there. There are suppressor kits (real and fake) designed for the P22 that come with the necessary thread adapter. I've heard of people putting the fake suppressor on to add a little weight to the front of the gun (and make it look way cool?), but I just don't get it. K

You're right, but yesterday it seemed like I was swinging a broomstick. Maybe it was just that I was shooting the 18" and moved to the longer barrel. I guess I need to find something comfortable for me, get used to it and stay with it. Thanks to all for the advice. Any opinions on the thumbhole vs traditional stock? K

I thought the barrel may be short, but I seem to have issues swinging a long barrel quickly enough to get on target. I tried one on Sunday with a 26 or 28" barrel, and couldn't get on until the clay was already falling. I have really long arms, and that may have something to do with it (or, I may just be uncoordinated).

I've been bitten by the clay bug, and I'm starting to look around for a proper gun. I like the Mossberg 500's just because I already have one and I'm used to the way it works. I found this one online. Any opinions? I'd want to see it in person before I commit, but does anyone have any pros or cons on the thumbhole stock? It looks like it has a nice high comb (I was having issues on Sunday with Jordan's ATI aftermarket stock... couldn't cheek it right, to low) and the fiber optic front sight probably couldn't hurt. All opinions welcome. Oh, and it's around $325 online.

An afternoon at the "beach club", playing gin rummy for a dime a point, then a quick trip to the castle. Sounds like a grand old time.

I'll be leaving him alone for a while. I abused him enough at the range. But, we're still vigilant. K

I'm in. My schedule is flexible to some extent, sometimes a horse show, sometimes not. But I'll make it whenever I can. Jordan wants in, too.

Free bacon... the ultimate Jewish dilemma. (read my disclaimer here: http://www.njgunforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=810&hilit=disclaimer

That was one of the early suggestions, but nobody knows a blind Moyel with a dull knife and Parkinson's.

We're currently meeting in secret and working on your penance. No details yet, but it will definitely involve a catheter, crushed glass and a male llama. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Yeah, it starts innocently enough... a couple of misstruck keys here, a slipped comment there, and before you know it, cattle cars and "oven talk". Best to nip it in the bud. I'm too old to build pyramids.

Good thinking. Apparently, Matt hasn't seen it yet. Or my avatar, for that matter.

Excuse me???

If the weather holds and the skies don't open up, I'll be at Cherry Ridge tomorrow (Sunday) with the P22. Come on by and indulge yourself.

Looks like fun. Don't worry about it. The camera always adds a couple or 23 pounds.

If I make it to the range I'll bring mine. Just don't laugh.

I don't know much about the Mosquito, but my wife has a Walther P22. I think they're close to the same size, weight, etc. As much fun as it is to shoot, it's not a satisfying gun at the range. Accuracy falls way off past 15 yards or so, and it just seems much more toy-like compared to a more target built .22. I had the chance to shoot another member's Single Six, and although I wouldn't necessarily recommend a revolver over a semi, I think a more substantial gun will be more fun to shoot at a variety of range distances, or at steel rather than paper. As always, YMMV. K
