Welcome to the sport, and to the group.

It all depends on the individual child, but at whatever age you start them, be sure to keep it fun and interesting for them. A piece in njShoot here.

Greetings and welcome.

Mazel Tov and congratulations on on your new son.

Mazel Tov. I know you worked hard for this. Nicely done.

Justin, If you have the time, take a look at the search function on B & H Photo's website . There are some nice features that make a drill down search fairly simple, and once you get to the sidebar searches, you can select multiple items from each filter category. It might be nice for people to be able to search for S&W AND Ruger when looking at .357 Stainless revolvers with 6" barrels. I know it's a complex data structure, with multiple characteristics applied to each item, but it's very responsive and user satisfaction is high. Just a thought.

I would much rather buy from a local shop than either big box or online, and when the pricing difference isn't enormous, that's what I do. The way to ensure the health of the local shops, who absolutely have to pay rent/mortgage, onerous taxes, permit fees, insurance and everything else that costs more in NJ isn't to vilify them for charging more, but to do everything we can to grow the community, encourage new people to shop locally, and maybe the shops will eventually realize enough volume that either A) their buying power will increase or B) they'll be able to reduce their margins in favor of increased volume. If the volume growth isn't there for them, neither thing will happen, they'll have to continue to raise their prices to meet their needs, and eventually they'll all go extinct. Only the community can save the businesses that support us with their goods and services.

Nice. Ready to sell the new gun yet?

If their schedule hasn't changed, they're open Saturday afternoons and Thursday evenings. I think there was some pressure to close them down. I hope it didn't happen.

Sparta is only open Sunday and Tuesday. There's another trap range in Chester (if they're still there) that shoots on Saturday. I may try to get there sometime this season.

Oh.

I didn't see the nj.com article. Link?

It's supposed to be a pretty nice day. Anyone up for a few rounds?

Greetings and welcome.

I wonder if they have the nerve to bring at least ammo back to NJ. WSJ Article

Nice.

How is it a shooting range? Is it licensed by the state, and does the "range" report their membership to the state annually? It's really an ugly gray area. If it's your property, and you're shooting your guns, you're okay. If it's not your property, and the property owner hands you one of their (hand) guns to shoot, technically, it's an illegal transfer. If it's not your property, and you bring your (hand) guns there to shoot, you're technically in violation of transportation laws. Long guns, likely no problem.
