Next meetup is 2/4 (this Thurs) at 7pm. Last time I went on a Thurs it was pretty empty at 6pm, got somewhat busier at 7. Good chance I'll be early; 5:30 or 6pm-ish. I often have OT after 7pm and, in this economy, can't justify not advantage of it :mrgreen:

Howdy Shane & Welcome

Welcome from neighboring Pompton Lakes

I'll be there at about 1:30 or so - working this morning. If you're still there, I'll be sure to say hi, I'll have my shirt on too edit: eh, I didn't get there until about 2pm and it was pretty crowded. We got a port at about 3pm or so. Sorry to miss you :doh:

I don't know - the recent Walmart clown commercial killed me: &hl=en_US&fs=1&">&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344">

Ray huh? Well good luck with that... j/k hehe, I bought my Beretta from him Welcome!

Next Thursday (2/4) works for me - this Thursday (1/28) isn't good for me unfortunately.

TY all

Thank you sir!

With respect to the target stands, what're the required measurements? I found this PDF; would this work? The ones I saw the one time I was there had joints to fold them up, but aside from that, would the dimensions work with the bases they have there?

Sorry I missed Ian, but nice to meet Pete & see Ray. I brought along the AR with the new (cheap) scope. This was 10 rounds at 25 yards without a rifle rest. I just need to get my butt to CR and the 100 yd range.

I'm going to be getting there early, maybe 6pm or so. I have to work tonight (just found out) so will have to leave by 7:30 or so.

I'd be interested in Cherry Ridge; I need to zero my scope. Only problem is I won't know until tomorrow if I'm working. I'll follow up when I know...

Welcome, and yea we have (seemingly) a large contingent that visits BA weekly. Keep your eyes open for new posts in the Events & Meetups forum.

6pm, 7pm, either works for me - just better after 5pm

7 works better for me as well

We're putting together a bi-weekly meetup at the Bullet Hole - see thread: http://www.njgunforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4865 I only have the 9mm and AR, but happy to let you shoot them.

Welcome and be seein' you at the Bullet Hole

Huh, it thought it was this:

Yeah, I gathered. I went with my daughter back in 2006, (World Cup year, though we didn't actually get to go to any of the games), and we both fell in love with the place; Berlin was my personal favorite. Have fun in the Fatherland!

I'd be there but am working tomorrow. If anyone's going on Sunday or next week or something let me know. I need to zero my AR's scope

Took my wife there tonight for her to shoot for the first time. That was fun and, oddly, she shoots better with her left hand than her right. The Beretta was a little heavy for her; we looked at a couple others, a Taurus .380 and a 38 special. Here's a question for the audience at large - what's a good handgun for women? They didn't have any Ruger LCP's in stock, so didn't get to check that out. I suppose the Ruger Marks, but I'd rather she had a .380 or something than a .22. Couple observations: - The officer there told us right away no 'head shots', which I thought was strange, but recall someone else saying that. I suppose that prevents people from hitting the back wall as opposed to hitting the 'pile'? - He also said no shooting at the hangars & such (duh), but someone there did hit a hanger and he told them to put their gun away. Not sure what they were shooting (shotgun?). - Friday nights appear to be dead there, at least tonight was. There were maybe 5-6 ports open when we got there and about as many when we left (6-7pm-ish?). - When we were checking out the other handguns, I thought the woman was a bit cavalier with the guns. Didn't check for clear on the semi-auto (I did that), but she opened the revolver at least. I get that they make sure the guns are clear, but still, you can't be too careful. Good prices on the guns though. All-in-all, it was fun as usual. If you guys are going on Thurs, I'll probably meet you there.

OK, so who's going to volunteer to open another range? Here's my requirements: Close to me Indoor & outdoor Can handle all pistols, rifles & shotguns Optional membership fees Attached shop with supplies, ammo, firearms, etc On-site gunsmith That's not asking too much is it? Seriously, though, it has to be difficult and/or expensive to get a gun shop/range opened here in NJ, otherwise (I have to assume) there'd be far more. There seems to be plenty of demand.

FWIW, I went this past Sunday, got there at about 11:50. There was a line of maybe 8 outside, plus others huddling from the cold in their cars. By the time my hour was up, there was a line of 15 or so waiting inside the range area and the store was packed too. If we're gonna do a Sunday, need to get there early. If BH is monitoring this thread, is there a good 'down time' when we can come?

I like the idea of early weekends too; I need to get some range time in, haven't shot in like 3 weeks. I got back from NM just in time to miss the sign ups for Cherry Ridge :\
