Is that what you little lady always says when you climb into bed? Your wifey was impressed. Yeah, but she's a tiny little thing. Everything looks big to her.

If it is after 10pm, and the door bell rings... bet your a** there is a penis extension, er, HK on my side. =P The Boss said penis...

It's not 3 gun if you only have 2. Go for it.

I've been reading this thread and was reluctant to respond past my first post because I didn't really see the point. I've said before that this board, just like any other board, is a reflection of real life. There are regular folk, and there are assholes. That's life, and you learn to either accept the foibles of others, or move on to find someplace that suits you better. However, a couple of points in this post annoyed me. Well, maybe not annoyed, but gave me pause. I had to read it a couple of times, since it's fairly obscure, and I think the message really lies between the lines. I couldn't agree less or disagree more. This is one of the most open, sharing and inclusive groups I've ever been associated with. Generally, we abhor anonymity. We want to know you, we want you to come shooting with whatever group is getting together, we desire your company (unless you're a dick, but we even accept Ray). The elitists among us are quickly called out and exposed, and we go on our merry way, encouraging participation and, yes, dare I say it, camaraderie within the shooting community in NJ. If any new member feels threatened or intimidated by that attitude, let them talk to any of the new guys who have found a group that shares their interests, and is willing to put up with whatever little idiosyncrasies they have in order to share some time on the range, get to know each other personally, and hopefully, eventually make us stronger as a group. The antis will always be antis, just like the rabid pro 2A, open carry, machine gun on campus toting whackos will always be what they are. There are places for both extremes. This isn't necessarily it. We're looking for the middle. We're showing anyone who'll listen that gun owners are just regular people, doctors, lawyers, engineers and ditch diggers, and not crazed lunatic fringe dwellers who secretly plot the overthrow of polite society. We try to accomplish that by being friendly, inviting, inclusive and yeah, "homey". Come to the range. Meet us, talk to us, try this gun, try this sport. You'll like it, and it probably won't turn you into a sociopath. Not hypocrisy, and nobody here who understands the concept of community tries to push anyone out. It's a lot like self-deportation. The people who don't get it turn nasty, get called for it, and eventually move out of the group. Not everyone is gonna fit in. For the ones who do stay, there'll be casual conversation, political discourse, gun talk, humor (possibly at someone's expense), and an open and sharing group of people who are willing to educate and embrace virtually anyone. And pie. Just like life.

That's a sharp set of grips on a nice gun.

Happy Anniversary. I'm sure she'll be thrilled. Have fun with it.

it's just common courtesy. Don't piss in someone else's beer just because you don't like the brand.

I may never eat ham again. Thanks.

Since when is the lack of a gun an excuse to miss an opportunity to shoot in this group? I'll bring 2. K

I'd love to, but can't. Have fun. CR is nice in the evening.

Okay, I'll start. One sunny day in January, 2013 an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama." The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Obama is no longer president and no longer resides here." The old man said, "Okay", and walked away. The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama." The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is no longer president and no longer resides here." The man thanked him and, again, just walked away. The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama." The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Obama. I've told you already that Mr. Obama is no longer the president and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?" The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it." The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow, Sir."

Welcome to the group.

Not just an onion, a Vidalia onion.

It hurts me just to look at that break Heal quick and rehab on the shooting line.

Just off the intersection of rts. 15 and 517 in Sparta. Not too bad from Morristown, maybe 35 minutes or so in Sunday traffic.

I know it's early, and the weather for the rest of the week is looking spotty. Weather permitting, anyone up for a few rounds? Maybe some new faces?

Jordan got a e-mail alert this morning from WPU that 2 bear cubs have been seen on campus, and everyone should be careful where they go on the university property. Apparently, this isn't an uncommon event.

Optimist.

Oh, and Dan and Danielle were having fun with the new crossgun out on the archery range.

Welcome to the group.

It lasted until you stopped watching him.

Okay, now that I've eaten and relaxed, I can elucidate. Today was awesome. We met early, got started early, and went almost nonstop until about 4:30. The handgun range was crowded, but we all managed to get spots close together. A couple of hours of punching paper, sharing guns (Matt's Smith is nice) and a good time, and off to the silo range for some rimfire love. A little while on there, shooting like mad (I put nearly 300 rounds through my single shot rifle), and then to the shotgun range. We went through something like 7 boxes of birds, ate pizza, shot the shlt, tried out other people's guns (that single shot .410 was nice), abused Matt and Ray, and had a generally good time. Once the non-NJGF yahoos cleared out, we split the throwers to each side of the range and tried shooting passing doubles. That was big fun and friggin' tough. Need to practice that some more if I'm gonna even think about trying skeet. Off to the rifle range for the a while as the day's final exercise. Out came the Mosins, which don't really turn me on, but I had a blast with Tim's Garand, which shoots a lot softer than I would have thought, and a little time with an AR, which I like, but the pinned stock was about 3 inches too short for may arms. As always, the ROs at CR were great, although the guy on the handgun range was a bit strident. No problem, and not gonna let it reflect poorly on an otherwise perfect meetup. Thanks to all who made it fun.

Another terrific day with the group. Thanks to everyone for a fun and full day at the range. Tim, Ray, it was good to see you guys again. You gotta come up north more often.
