Drank the Kool Aid
Maks, Why 45 gap? If you wanted to shoot limited 10, you should have gone with the 22 or 35 use it in limited 10, limited, and production. Easy to make major and minor. Plus all the 45 shooters are going to hate you when they pick up the gap brass.

2x4 match Cherry Ridge 10/16/10
I believe it's from 9am to 3pm. It cost $3 per run, if your team wins you each get $4 back but use it to re-enter again. You can shoot as many times as you want. Show up and leave whenever you want.

Static Steel Old Bridge 10/17/10
Old bridge and Jackson both have knockdown or action steel as they call it sometimes.

Yeah knockdown I feel requires more skill. When you are trying to shoot a small piece of steel 25 yards away and you keep missing, it gets frustrating. Teaches you slow down and focus on making that shot.

USPSA Match Tenafly NJ (Indoors) 10/17/10
I grew up in Bergenfield and know all about it. I was a member of the club for a few years and know several members there. The club is far from perfect, but in the last few years the club has become more shooter oriented. It was and still kind of is a social club but with the new blood and board members, the club is experiencing a revival of sorts. I use to get dirty looks there because I always shot too fast and was not a bullseye shooter. Just look at their website and se all the different activities going on.

They just don't want the steel being torn apart by "hot" loads. That being said, I have shot before using major loads with no problem. The benefits to shooting light loads are many which help a shooter greatly in static steel to get faster times.

I will not be attending. I am not a fan of static steel. However knockdown steel is more enjoyable, but there are only so many things I can shoot per month.

Holster and mag pouches are not mandatory, but it is recommended and good practice for drawing from holster and reloading. Here is a link to the rules used World Class Steel. http://www.worldclasssteel.com/WCS_Rules.php If a centerfire competitor starts the match using the “draw and fire” method, this same method and the same holster must be used for the entire match. A centerfire competitor may elect to start from the “rested ready” position but a penalty of two (2) seconds will be added to the time of each run within each stage. Once a competitor elects to start the match from the “rested ready” position, the competitor must use this start position for the entire match. Rimfire shooters will start from the “rested ready position,” with finger off the trigger, with both elbows touching the side of the body, with the pistol facing downrange and aimed down at the ground at the designated spot within the marked area in front of the shooting box. The shooter may prefer the safety either on or off. Since Rimfire .22 shall be a category with separate standings and scores, the two second penalty does not apply.

Static steel is when you shoot at 4 steel targets and 1 steel stop plate. Shoot for time, 5 runs on each stage, best 4 are taken for your total time on stage, slowest thrown out. If you don't miss you'll need 25 rounds per stage. Miss and you'll need more. Good to bring double what the match round count is. So if it's 125 rounds, bring 250.

I guess you can make friends there. Bring money, and you'll have all the friends you'll need

Just bring enough ammo and mags for each gun. 5 mags minimum depending on how well you and your partner shoot.

FWIW, the 45acp semi wadcutter is the best bullet for wood cutting.

Case tumbling time
Tumbler: I have 3 at work and 2 at home: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=587176 Polish: I use NuFinsh car polish cheap, and it works Media: I use crushed corn cob and/or crushed walnut from Pet Goods about $5 for 1 bag of each Cases per cleaning cycle: 3-400 (per tumbler) Time: about 4 hours Media Separator: Dillon(http://www.dillonprecision.com/#/content/p/9/pid/23662/catid/8/CM_2000_Case_Media_Separator) the larger one I use to run the brass for about an hour in walnut then switch to corn cob. Now I run the tumblers for about 4-5 hours in corn cob only. brass comes out nice and clean. Brass sorter: (http://www.shellsorter.com/) because sorting brass sucks, and this makes it less sucky.

If you get the "bug", you will find out that reloading is the way to go. The cost of shooting factory ammo will be more expensive than reloading. Yes you will spend a few bucks getting started, but you will end up saving money in the long run. Using the calculator found here (http://www.classifiercalc.com/misc_calcs/rc.php) for me to load my limited/L10 rounds in 40 s&w cost me $8.63 for 50 Open 9 major $6.99 for 50, 45acp loads $6.97 for 50, 9mm production loads $6.51. Compare those cost amounts to a box of factory. Now the cost would drop more if I picked up my brass during a match.

I assume you might be shooting factory ammo? 40 s&w reloaded for production loads are a dream to shoot. Light, barely any recoil, and easy on the gun. Factory 9mm ammo, especially out of Glock is not so pleasant.
