Nice meeting everyone. Also, thanks for all the tips for the newbie! Nick, thanks for the videos. I had a great time. I definite gotta do this again!

I'm ready. Gun cleaned (if I followed the guy showing how to clean his handgun on youtube properly ) and range bag packed with ammo and gear. Still can't shoot, per practice from Shore Shot, but it should be a learning experience.

I'm in Ray.

I can't find anything on the web saying we need to pre-register. Is this correct? So basically show up before 11 am on Sunday and register.

@ Nick - thanks buddy! @ Antonio - you're absolutely correct. Unless something emergency comes up, I'll be there. Now, gotta get some ammo and clean my CZ!

You know what Steph, you're right. I'm in.

Thanks Deni! That gives me a little boost of motivation that I might not be the only newbie there! Really, $10 and you get pizza! This is going to be at the Somerset Fish and Game at 445 Milltown Road, Bridgewater NJ, correct?

Thanks Nick! I am leaning towards trying since I have nothing to do sunday. Will try to hit the range tomorrow and decide by friday.

I've never done any sort of competition shooting. I am a newbie to guns in general. I really do want to try something but I will admit, I'm a little nervous. Should I try practice matches first before jumping in? I just don't want to make a fool of myself! Let me know what you think I should do. Thanks.

That looks like the one I bought from Bladetech. It does says IDPA pak. Here's the link: http://www.blade-tech.com/Competition-Series-Products-c-329.html I bought this one to try out when I'm ready for USPSA so hopefully it is legal for USPSA as well.

I'm confused. Anyway, I'm this for this Tuesday (Nov.16) or Wednesday (Nov.17) or next week. But since everyone might be busy since it's Thanksgiving, then I can do anytime in December but December 8, wife's birthday. Thanks for doing the research Ray!

Oops. I thought it was the skyline dr from NY!

Dude, just call me if you get lost.

Man, you're coming from Hawthorne NY! Then I again, I drove all the way to Ready, AIM, FIRE in PA to just rent and try some handguns!

Actually, the range is right next to the basketball court! I can't find the address but this is what they have on the website: 16th Street (between Ave. A and the Bay) Bayonne, New Jersey 07002

Directions from website: From the NJ Turnpike: Exit 14A on the NJ Turnpike (Bayonne Exit). Take Avenue E to 16th Street. Make a right on 16th Street. Go through three traffic lights to 16th Street Park. As you enter 16th Street park, you will see the 16th Street Fire House on the left and the Bayonne Municipal Pool on the right. Continue until the road bends left. Park your car near the basketball courts. The range is on your right hand side.

I'm down for trying Bayonne. At least I'll have a baby sitter if the wife doesn't get home early since my parents still lives there. Karcirate - I always do 35 mph in Bayonne and never go 40 mph more unless i'm in the middle of a pack since I know that can be an instant ticket. If you take Kennedy blvd, don't ever go more than 35mph. Then again, I think they pick on out of state plates more than jersey plates. I think Ray can chime in more on this.

Sorry guys, can't make it today. Hopefully to see you all at the next one. Ryan

That was an awesome video! Thanks for posting Maksim.

Congratulations Maks!

Oh crap! I went in there about a month ago from NJ because it's like 8 miles from my house! I could have been in big trouble huh? Anyway, Firing Line: Bad: Really Expensive- you have to sign up for some sort of membership to shoot, if I remember correct, the guy told me it's going to cost me $50 to shoot for the day. He said I should sign up for membership if I plan on going there a few times as it would be cheaper. Good: Nice range - clean and well ventilated - then again, there were 3 of us when I was shooting.

Tony, sent you a PM about the mags you are thinking of selling for my CZ SP 01 Phantom Thanks. Ryan

Welcome. If I make it to the next meet in Bullet Hole, and you are there, you are always welcome to try my CZ SP01 Phantom.

I should be there tonight. See you all!

Hey Nick, Did you finish strong in the last 3 stages?
