I've done the event at Shongum a couple of times. Yeah, it's about as much fun as I've had with a handgun. Way better than paper punching. Almost as much fun as clay sports.

I'll be there in spirit. Thanks. Ken

Wow. When Maks falls, he falls hard. Mike better watch out. I think there's a new USPSA cheerleader on the block.

Tom, Clear your PM box. I tried to send you a message and I think your box is maxed out. Anyway, I registered on the NJ2AS forum, and set my sig as a link to njShoot. If that's a problem, let me know and I'll remove it post haste. K

You'll find that as you attend the casual meetups, there are going to be guys who grab you by the shoulders and shove you into their ports so you can try out their guns. We're generally a very friendly and sharing group, and any new member of the community gets treated to all the rest of us have to offer. Take notes. You're gonna get confused at the variety of firearms you'll be encouraged to try. BTW, the XD is a nice gun. I have one in subcompact, and it's soft to shoot and unerringly accurate. The mags are a pain to load, though. They're sprung very tightly, and difficult to fill to capacity without some sort of mechanical aid. A mag loader helps a lot. Welcome to the group. Try the pie.

The site looks much better. One suggestion: since the NJ2AS site is more that just the forum, there should be a link on the forum page back to the main site. Maybe the logo link, which now just refreshes the forum main page. K

Saw this on the news this morning. The University of Baltimore is offering a credit course on zombies. Yeah, it's part of an English course, but hey, it's about zombies and their impact on modern pop culture. Zombies 101

Stupid British zombie movie - "Boy Eats Girl". Just a waste of a perfectly good title.

Yeah, I'm full of surprises.

Thanks, and a happy and healthy New Year to all.

And after all, isn't that what responsible gun ownership is all about? Schmuck.

Pencil me in.

It ain't the arrow...

Also, keep in mind that a dedicated HD gun may wind up with a bunch of tacticrap hanging off of it, and that will increase the weight somewhat. If you start with a marginally heavy, unwieldy gun and attach a light, optic, laser, Swiss Army knife, coffeemaker, blowup doll, whatever, it's gonna get heavier and more cumbersome. As far as switching to clays, get a different gun for that, unless you're prepared to strip the add-ons off and swap to a longer barrel each time you want to get out and make some orange dust.

Just as an aside, wobble trap is a tough game to play. I tried it at the range in Sparta, and embarrassed myself completely. If you get a wobble/oscillator setup, you're gonna be very popular with the NJGF CR shotgun group. Be prepared to make a lot of new friends.

Yeah, but it's fun to see the end product.

At regular HD range, either one will be fine. It depends on what you're comfortable with. Get the one that feels better for you. A gun that you can't handle won't do you any good if (God forbid) you ever need it. The 20 will be a lighter gun, easier to handle, and with slightly lighter perceived recoil. The goal in any HD situation is to stop the threat, and either one will do that with no problems.

Frank, Just took a quick look, and 3 things strike me: 1 - As you move from page to page, the width of the central table changes, pushing the edges of the page out, or pulling them in. It should be pretty simple to change the table widths so the elements on the page that should be static don't jump around. 2 - The red and blue buttons are nearly impossible to distinguish. The colors, while different, don't provide enough contrast for easy reading, and the 2 intense colors, make focusing on the actual text inside the button difficult. 3 - Totally subjective, bit I don't care for the Old English typeface for the logo. Hard to read, and I feel inappropriate for the site. Just my $0.02. YMMV K

I haven't been to Sparta all summer. It's been either too damn hot or raining, or I've been glued to the computer working on njShoot. We should try to get a group out there at least a few times over the next couple of months. I hate going there and being the only one shooting trap. Makes me feel like I'm putting Pete out when he has to throw just for me. K

I love seeing the kids at the range. Gives me hope for the future of the sport.

Nice to meet you, Wojo. Don't be a stranger. K

Thanks for the editing. Made me look like wasn't shooting like crap. damn perishable skills. Nice hats.

Maks has 2 listings, so the name shows twice. It'll work its way off the feature list as more people get added.

I've been staring at the damn computer for 2 days, trying to wrap up the site. I think I have it finished (excluding some additional content, but that will happen shortly), and just need some people to look through it for typos or placeholder text that I may have forgotten. My eyes are no good for that right now. The content that's in there is live, so feel free to bang around. Thanks guys. The link is in my sig. Ken
