Funny this thread is going on at this time. Today I was at a car event all day long and I was with a good friend of mine from when I was in highschool and he was the Marine recruiter for my surrounding towns. Anyway were driving up route 23 and this bright neon green charger pulls up next to us were like WTF, well it turns out he saw our club sticker and it turned out to be a kid I went to HS with that my buddy put into the Marines. I havn't seen him in 5 years so we pull over and bs etc. We had a lot of kids join the military from my highschool and for the most part and a lot of my friends have been coming back and they are all like THANK GOD its over. So today I got to see my buddy Rick and we got BSing and telling me all these stories of his worldly travel etc. To make a long story short it really brought back those feelings that I had for joining and still regret not doing it. Anyway sorry to bore you guys with my uber long stories, just fun to finally see guys you havn't in a while!

you havn't seen my WRX yet does your dakota atleast drive in a straight line mine doesn't

hahaha no mine is BEYOND pos, it doesn't even deserve that name anymore. lol But glad you got everything in there, and yeah no pistols for me. Just long guns tomorrow. I will see you boys at 12:30 sharp be ready to do some shooting.

yippppppppppppppppppp I'll be there at 12:30 for you Rich just bring the checkbook so you can pay me haha Man I disappear for like a day and a half and this thread goes and blows up on me. Just took me 5 minutes to get caught up on this thread alone. I am bringing my .22 and my shotty and that is IT. Everyone will be meeting at the clay range in the 1:50 time table and hopefully shooting by 2. We shoot no matter what, all the ranges are covered minus the silhouette range and if thats the case we'll just go down to the 50/100. Mark, do you need a ride or did you fit everything into that little (edited) mobile of yours

ohhhhhhh how i miss those goof balls on 92.3. This coming semester for school is REALLY going to suck since I don't get to hear there morning show anymore. I'm almost tempted to buy sirius i just can't bring myself to pay for radio though.

wow looks like I'll buy my clays from them for now on. Ridge FTW!

awww I'm surprised I havn't seen any Navy boys come in here yet. I guess with the Marine showing, they are kind of hiding lol. Still regret not joining back when I wanted to but we live we learn. My hats off to all of you guys for serving, excellent job!

ohhhhhhhhh boy it looks like I will be going straight from the reservoir to the shooting range. I guess maybe I should shower in between no one wants a sweaty smelly rower shooting next to them. hm lets see open row is at 9 I'll row for 2 hours probably so I should be able to swing 12ish for whoever wants to meet up. Mark I'll give you a ring when I'm heading home from the row to see if you need a ride, the jeep is washed waxed and cleaned on the inside that baby shinessss

heh did you really just say your going to take your cherokee to a mechanic. Oh you poor soul, you are never going to have any money left for guns anymore. You'll spend it all on paying someone to fix the cherokee. Climb under that big hunk of tin and start turning some wrenches. In all seriousness for the brakes I would first check your fluid level. Then I would check your pads along with the bleeder valves both front and rear. The rears love to rust so be careful with them. Then I would try and bleed the system and go from there. Brakes on these trucks are extremely easy. Just remember to start farthest from the pump and work your way forward so passenger rear, driver rear passenger front and driver front. And those pedals should be somewhat level. Crawl under into the footwell and check. There might be some form of adjustment because I know mine are level.

I'd be more upset if he stayed home to shoot. It's a coed camping trip. OK OK he's forgiven, who am I kidding I'd do the same HA

My biggest advice is opinions. Get atleast two. You also might want to check out Dr Cary Silverman. I believe he is in glen rock. He did surgery on my mothers eye's after another doctor fubared them up and now she has no problems seeing anymore. Her's wasn't exactly lasik but it was close enough to be so you get the point. Now pertaining to me, I had an appointment with Silverman went through all the hoo ha to get my eyes checked out and he just turns to me and goes I don't want you to leave here and make another appointment elsewhere or get a second opinion. Anyone who tells you they can do lasik on your eyes is out of their mind. Apparently my eyes are REALLY bad. One eye comes to a point and he said he'd never be able to flatten it with the laser and if he tried it'd probably make me blind. And the other eye I believe the cornea or whatever is called is so thin that if he hit it with a laser I'd be blind too. YAY for me. But I will say this, after all that he recommened hard contacts to me and holy cow what a difference. I am still trying to get use to the hard contacts and I think I need to go back for another fitting. But in my bad eye which is my left eye, I went from 20/200 vision to 20/40. So although you still need to pop in a contact if your looking for a better quality of eye sight, you might want to also look into a hard contact instead.

Sure. I still need to tweak both guns in a bit better. I'm thinking of stopping in at Ramsey or something and see if they have anything else to plink at. Gonna have to fit my junk in the WRX as my truck is still in the shop. hmm. Mal if you want, I could swing by and pick you up, I should have plenty of room in the Cherokee, I actually cleaned it! yay for me. And Ken is right I don't believe they sell clays at the Ridge. Any shooting place shoot carry clays, don't pay more than 13.99 per 135 otherwise its a rip. I know Davis's in sloatsburg sells them for 12.99 Oh man this is going to be one fun sunday. And Ken did you check your sons temperature. Passing up to go shooting to go camping, well that doesn't make any sense at all

Mal you gonna have some time to go do some .22 shooting. I was thinking about bringing mine just for s's and giggles

yip 7-1/2 is fine I pretty much shoot anything that goes boom, but your not allowed to shoot below a #7 at the clay range or anywhere else on the property if I remember correctly. Oh man, I am so beyond pumped for sunday I have a feeling I'm not going to be able to move come monday Oh and just leave the family on sunday, thats what half the guys are doing anyway to come out and shoot. It's totally understandable!

caine if you want, you are more than welcome to shoot my gun. It's more of a turkey gun but it does pretty good with clays as well so if you feel your gun is gonna limit you, come anyway and shoot mine as much as you want.

wait, theres something wrong with smelling like gun powder??? huh never knew that one. and ok if you insist!!!! If your available one day during the week dan, shoot me a PM. I can pretty much arrange my schedule to go any day but wednesday as that's row night. We'll throw some rounds through the 40's As for everyone else Checklist: Shotgun Shell's Clay Birds The ability to joke And the ability to have a huge grin on your face the whole day. You have those 4 things, be ready to have an awesome time! See you all sunday at 2!

Dan I think you need to make it happen my man. Does a later or earlier time work better for you or what. It's just not going to be the same without you. If your not there, one of us might be able to win the competition HAHAH

doesn't sound like too bad of a deal. Have you actually held it yet, or just looked? Pull the trigger a few times to get a feel for it? You should throw a couple rounds through my k40.

dan let me know when your around and I'll bring the K40 with me and let you make your own decision haha. Is the p40 the fullsize??

Just a friendly reminder, the monthly clay bird shoot is this sunday at 2pm. Be there or be bored!

I am feeling all warm and fuzzy on the inside. This little get together that I started with Mal and Dan is really starting to shape up. I kinda feel like a proud father! haha and yes the more the merrier just as long as whoever shows up follows the rules of the range and always practices safe gun handling there ok in my book.

WOOOOOOO kick ass!!! You have that good electric thrower too right tom? That should be good fun. I hope we get a good turn out.

We are doing our monthly clay bird shoot next weekend on the 9th at 2pm at Cherry Ridge if you wanna come out for an informal blow things up session. If we get enough people and have more than one thrower, I might even propose a little competition amongst us.

heh I showed up at my local resevoir where I belong to a Crew club. It was inbetween the first rain and the second rain. I was just getting ready to get out of my truck to start getting everything ready when the sky opened up and it came down in buckets. If i was about 15 minutes earlier I would of been one very upset puppy

Thanks Chad, I needed that to keep me from spending more money lol
