You should not use Remington Golden Bullets in anything. That ammo is beyond crap. I like Federal Bulk 525rd boxes for cheap plinking ammo.

This.

Going to see if Dick's has these targets in stock, if not I'll be shooting on the printable target. Either way, I'll be posting my scores on Sunday night.

Looks good, Tony! But I have to direct you to this thread based off those pictures: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/39403-shoes-for-the-range/

While it is possible to save some cash on a used bow(I went this route and made out well), there is a lot of stuff that can go wrong, and you can spend a ton of time chasing problems to get the bow shoot properly. If you've already made the decision to stick with archery for awhile, I'd recommend going to a legit shop, getting measured, and buying something that they recommend.

Pinned until this gets sorted out.

They are much larger now.

Just to nitpick a little, Frank. Most 20ga slugs when compared to their 12ga counterpart have worse trajectory, but a ton less recoil, and still do the job nicely.

Good shooting with everyone. Sorry I had to bail early, wife wasn't feeling great.

God I hate those stupid things. Every one of them that I've bought broke within a week of use.

Depends on if you want to go modern or surplus. A mosin is a great next step, since ammo is uber cheap, or an SKS which also shoots cheap ammo. If you go modern, I would look to a rifle chambered in .223.

Yes, that's what I meant, sorry. Thank you for clarifying.

Get your hands on a topographical map. Most camping stores have them, and they will give you the difference between true and magnetic north. While you're there, grab a Boy Scout Handbook, it has some great info in it regarding Orienteering(in addition to a ton of other outdoor skills).

Just give the high sign to whoever is on the line while they're not busy shooting, and ask them if you can head downrange when they're clear. Don't interrupt someone who is actively shooting though.

In NJ, you cannot lend any gun to someone else. You MUST transfer the gun, either on a permit to purchase, or a certificate of eligibility. ETA: This is assuming you are not at the range with the person who wants to use the gun, or hunting with the person who is going to use the gun. Either of these locations, providing you are with them, are legal transfers without paperwork.

I will usually grab an unloaded gun and point at random things while watching TV. Just focus on a smooth pull and your front sight, to make sure it doesn't move when the hammer drops.

To my knowledge you do not need to put a serial number on a firearm if you build it. Keep in mind though, that he can never sell or transfer any guns he made himself.

The part with the serial number is generally considered the "firearm". It is legal to build your own firearms outside of NJ. Inside, it's a no-go.

As I understand it, once someone becomes a prohibited person, they have a set amount of time to dispose of the firearms in order to recoup some costs before the Police seize them.

Do whatever you can to get that chance. Insane fun!

Go visit Paul at Arms N Ammo in Blue Anchor. He's a forum vendor and will help you out.

Meh, it doesn't hurt to have the same topics come up over and over again. The forum is growing, and I'd rather answer the newbs than put them off by telling them to use the search function.

If you just want cheap, get the M&P Sport complete rifle when it's on sale. You can usually find em for $650.

Yea, you're tiny. My USPs are all either da/sa w/ decocker and safety, or Light LEM. Some have match mainsprings and some do not. I'd like to convert the USP45f to a "Hybrid Match-LEM" as soon as the match trigger with overtravel stop is back in stock.
