SAF has received a donation (not a huge one, but something) from The New Jersey Recreational Shooting Network.

Flash suppressors are a no-go here in NJ, but muzzle brakes are okay, as long as they're permanently attached to the barrel with a weld. Adjustable stocks are also verboten, and have to be permanently pinned into a single length.

Think of it as a free butt plug for the side business.

Better he should post the ones he has of her with the real whips.

And in other news...

Whatever personal perspective you care to take will work. It's not so much the editorial angle that matters, just the experience. The point is to encourage others to try new sports. The gurus here have done a great job getting a bunch of new people into a variety of "new to them" sports. Some like what they try, some not so much. It's just that they've tried them that matters. It doesn't matter if it's action shooting, trap/skeet or precision rifle, it's the personal perspective, the experience, the "I'll try anything once 'cause it sounds like fun" attitude that I'm really trying to spread. I'll take anyone trap shooting. I'm just a hack, but if I enjoy it, maybe someone else will, too. If they do, great. If not, at least they've stepped out of the box a little bit and may have some new understanding about some other aspect of the shooting community. It's a step towards bringing together and strengthening the entire community. So, if you (or Bryan, or Steph, or anyone else) wants to put something together, it would be outstanding. It's a resource for the community, not my personal blog, so anything that anyone cares to contribute just serves the cause of bringing the community together just a little bit, and a little bit at a time is really all that we can hope for.

That was the quickest I've ever added content to njShoot!

Okay, the tea leaves worked. I said I hoped you were right, and you were. Now, about those Lotto numbers...

You guys down south get all the good stuff. Somebody needs to open a USPSA/IDPA friendly range up north.

A higher sight may change your POI relative to your POA, and you may need to change the way you mount the gun to accommodate the change. That said, WalMart has a cheap magnetic FO sight that should fit the gun just fine.

That looks like big fun. I'll need to try that sometime. Now that it's getting colder, I may need to find something indoors to satisfy me over the winter. If anybody cares to write something about the experience as a novice shooter, talk about the location, the challenge, and especially about overcoming the anxiety of that type of shooting for the first time, I'll put it into njShoot. At least 1,000 words, with frame grabs from the videos would be great. It would be a good followup piece to the last action shooting article.

I'm pretty sure Cherry Ridge allows .50 BMG on the 200/300 yd range. They run a 50 cal match each year. There may be some restrictions, so it's probably best to contact them.

Look, it's a deer factory!

Sorry, double post

There is no street address. The directions should bring you right to the parking lot with no problems. I don't know where you're coming from, but an hour and 15 minutes each way to shoot trap in the cold for a couple of hours seems counterproductive. I'm not sure anyone else from the NJGF group will be there today. That may or may not matter to you. The field is only 15 minutes from me, and I won't know if I'm going until the last minute. If it's gonna be too cold for me to enjoy my time outside, I'll just stay home. Anyway, # 7 1/2 or 8 shot is fine, anything larger isn't permitted. The trap field is open from around noon till whenever they decide to shut the place down, usually around 4, but earlier if there's no activity.

old sparta thread The best directions are in this thread. We usually start around 1

We usually get there around 1. I'm questionable for tomorrow, something may have come up that I need to do, but it's open shooting. If you go, just introduce yourself to Pete.

It's no different than the pro-life people calling their opponents pro-abortion, when those people call themselves pro-choice.

Well,maXipoo is what a Great Dane leaves behind, but MaKsipoo is apparently Glenn's pet name for Maks. Don't ask, and they won't tell.

Videos and educational materials. Both good, and both doable. I have a couple of other things churning around in the back of my head as well. I think Cricket is doing a spectacular job committing so much of their manufacturing resources to developing guns for young shooters. I think they're missing a great marketing opportunity by not advertising their entry level line of rifles in more places. It seems like every time I see their name, it's in the context of an article or review, but I see very little direct advertising anywhere.

Okay, I'll play one more round. I'll first say that I find your optimism refreshing, and in spite of what follows, I hope you're right and I'm wrong. However, Making predictions, without substantiating facts or history of credibility, is both useless and inflammatory. While I'm sure you believe what you're saying, the fact that nobody else seems to have any insight into this massive legal effort that has been building up on a national scale for at least a decade gives me pause to suspect your credibility. It's possible that you alone are privy to this great plan, and that you alone are granted sole permission to hint around the edges about its existence, but that wouldn't be my first thought. No matter, the end of the year is coming, and your prediction of 2 to 5 weeks before something newsworthy happens to make moot the current NJ firearms laws will be soon tested. I suspect you may have to switch from tea leaves to the bones of rodents for your divining.

I was surfing around the net last night, going through some of the anti sites to see if anything was afoot regarding the NJ AK thing, and came across this site. Gun Free Kids.org Their mandate is obvious from their name, but feel free to visit. It's irrelevant. I got so pissed off at how so many anti sites are socially or demographically targeted (kids, gays, vets, etc.), that I went ahead and registered gunsmartkids.org. I don't know that I'll ever do anything with it, but it feels like a moral victory. If anyone has any ideas for an issue advocacy organization, let me know. I don't have any experience with nfp orgs, but hell, I'm willing to learn.

Maybe it's because instead of relying on tea leaves and wishful thinking, they actually have facts.

Happy Birthday, Maks.
