July Third Sunday at CR - 7/11
Well I was using a P and S Canon Powershot Sunday but I have a Canon EOS as well. It's tough enough to get teh blast and or the eject let alone getting the bullet strike. I would be interested to know how you would reccomemd without getting too much motion blur. Set your DSLR in continuous mode. Don't move. Tripod best of course. Hold the shutter release down at the right time....post process and photoshop the two together. Basic crop job should work just fine. If you do want to move the camera, use a stitcher(I use PTgui), like I did to make these of my vacation 3 weeks ago: http://thewellrats.com/malbor2/west/Pans/ It allows you to choose how the various images blend. Well yea, photoshop. I hadn't realised you were such a picture taking guy. I'll bring my aged SLR next time and we'll see what we can get.

Hey, sorry for the blast of replies. Typing while doing something else. I have noticed from trying to ge the shots I want that it is impossible to get the blast-from-the-muzzle-clay-exploding picture. The camera shuter speed can only get one or the other. In other words, the smoke clears before the clay breaks. inneresting, ain't it?

Bi-Weekly meetup at Bullet Hole
They sell ammo, some are reloads and some are standard stuff. The price is average. I have had fair results with their 9mm reloads. One of the reasons I started thinking I should do it myself.

That sounds like something a Community Organizer would do. Is Matt bringing a hotdog cart next time? Great time yesterday - beutiful weather! Nice meeting you Dave. Chris - I have a GP100 that I'll bring next time. It has a nice double action pull, the model 10-6 that I brought has a very heavy pull. The .22 range sure is a lot of fun. To bad my Marlin 981T is broke. You guys would have liked shooting it. It's out for repair, but I should have it next time. Thanks for all the tryouts. I think I am putting a revolver in que after a shotty. I am kinda liking the American Heritage stuff, but that just might be from all the Red Dead Redemption I have been playing.

Stock Pile
Immediately after 9/11 many ATMs in my neigborhood did not work. A few did and they were overrun with people trying to make withdrawals. It only lasted about 4 hours but wow did I see some people in a panic over that. Since then I keep a couple hundred cash locked up. Not for any apocalyptic episode, but in case the grid fails, weather disaster etc. As for ammo, I have been buying target ammo in bulk when the deals come around. I have started thinking in terms of commodity pricing when it comes to that. I only keep about 50 rounds of HD ammo and that's because it comes that way.

1 for 1 on the converts
1 for 1 on the converts. I brought a guy that is completly left wing to the range (BH) and right now I am sending back his recc. for the NJ FPID. That Ruger Mark III won him over. I wonder if anyone else is interested in keeping the stats. Seems like a dam cool thing to track.

July Third Sunday at CR - 7/11
If you decide to come, please post here so one of us can PM you so we can coordinate getting you signed in. Thanks for looking out. At the moment I have the membership 'postcard' with the membership card and a range pass. The only thing I see as an issue is the safety class and the fact that my cards do not have a membership number. At this time I am about 80% sure I will be there but I will post Sat. night if that changes. BTW. I will bring a Glock 19C with a light on the rail and a Ruger Mark III Hunter

"I Fought For You" - Video
sadly, in my mind I hear after "I fought for you" I hear "and it means nothing..." my God, 103 degrees and people are crying? It was 114 when I hit the ground in Q8. That was springtime. But I had a freakin' tent with A/C. Imagine those tankers in North Africa in WWII. Video's like these tug at my heart strings and tear ducts, but I was in that belly, but it makes no nevermind to those that look at it as cheese. People don't know what they don't know.

Machine gun, bullet-proof vest stolen from FBI
foget the M4. It's an anti climax. I shot them all and short of artillery a good 12 guage is all you need to feel the power.

I find this very disturbing....
I don't know why the Guard is actually being tasked to do the checks, but the chemical sniffing tech and use is something that will be taken to Iraq or Afghanistan and used at checkpoints. Again, I have no idea why they might be assked to do it but I can guess that the practical experience is what the Guard is after.

NJ Cops Checking For Fireworks, Drinking For 4th
I think the opposite is true. If the fireworks are illegal, why would anyone go there on the 4th weekend? Seems like easy pickin's of people that put things off to the last minute. I should also mention, the cops I know (3) tell me they would never risk what they have to blow a few Class C fireworks off at home. As my friend D.D. explains it, Everyone in his neighborhood knows he's a cop. All that has to happen is someone drops a dime on him. He doesn't answer about lighting them somewhere else besides his home though. Heck I thought when I deployed with with NYFD firefighters that they would get the good stuff too. Nope. Too much for them to lose when they are looking to get their 20 years in.

Has anyone been pulled over with firearms in the car and
I got pulled over on my way to work once while on my motorcycle. The guy said he clocked me at 75. Well, I was being overtaken by 3 cars at the time and thought, "what a DB, how could he pick my bike out from the two cars to my left and front that were within feet of me?" Of course, I WAS going 75, but I didn't think I wanted to start asking why I got pulled over and the cars didn't. Well, I pulled right over, took off my helmet, smiled and said hello. That was it. We ended up talking for about 20 minutes. He was in a car but normally rides a Harley for the HP. I was late for work but I didn't care. He was a pretty okay guy. No ticket at all.
