Cherry Ridge (ANJRPC) Range - Big Thumbs Down
But your talking about it... nothing worse then when someone tells you about this great place and then refuses to disclose anything about it. But, in fairness I'm sure if you looked hard enough you would find it..

The need for a good (high lumen) flashlight
Don't throw out those old mag lights... terralux has LED's for them that are pretty friggen bright if you want something to second as a weapon. I wouldn't buy a maglite at this point but if u have them might be worth the upgrade. I put one in my AA Maglite i've had for over 10 years and it is very bright, 140lumens, compared to the 15 or so it had before, and it was cheap.

How long should I wait for a .22 backorder?
Still waiting on case from midway since January(got really lucky with a Federal Back order), but they seemed to honor the last go around when people waited a year for it.

I know this is a gun forum but............
Be careful, we had some numb nuts call the PD last year, and WHAM!!! No discharge of arrows ordinance was immediately passed. My advice is, do not ask... find your towns ordinances and look, if you don't find one... then don't question it.

$15k O/Us vs $230 870s
you dont buy a Ferrari because it's fast, for a fraction of the price you can get something just as fast. 15k shotguns are hand made/fitted, and have art engraved and probably gold inlays... It's a status piece. You dont understand the need for something because there isnt one... it's more of a want, and only those who want one will understand it. I too see the money better spent/invested else where.. but i wouldn't try to justify someone else's purchase. People spend absurd money on worthless shit, and these at least hold value.

.45 Auto Reloading - Plated Ammo Question
You should start your load in the mid range of lead bullets, for the love of god do NOT start in the mid range for jacketed bullets. A hot plated load should* fall somewhere in the low end of jacketed data. stating to start mid way in jacketed ammo would assume that plated is stronger then jacket, which is most certainly is NOT... the rule of thumb for plated is that it can be loaded somewhere between lead and jacketed. Those Titegroup loads shouldn't have a problem burning the powder... Titegroup burns hot and fast, not many powders are like it. It also isnt clean burning... do your bullets have an exposed base?

duck blind etiquitte
We hunt Geese( Canadian and Snowies) on corn fields, so i don't see why you couldn't. They love the winter wheat. It's probably the best hunting you can do... chill in a layout blind until the flock comes in, then walk out and scoop up your prize. As far as i know, waterfowl is the most open hunting you can do.. your not limited to anywhere in the state... just gotta be a shoot zone.. Only reason we hunt on the water is because that's where they go to or from. Ducks are pretty exclusive to water. Dearslayer beat me to it... Also snow geese have a conservation order sometimes and require a special form to be carried after the regular season... The only real rule is that you have to have a "focus" or purpose while hunting... So if you want to hunt turkey AND watefowl, thats fine.. but like deerslayer said you have to meet both regulations for what can be carried. If you hit a goose and have any lead shot on you... you can get in a ton of trouble... Also be aware of daily bag limits.

I wouldn't mind hunting exclusively from a boat. We hunt the small lakes in the early season from land, then my buddy's boat on the big lakes/reservoirs that don't freeze late season. A boat is really the way to go, so much less time spent hauling gear around.

the whole point of the blind is supposed to be hidden lol. But it's very hard to conceal one. Unless its in a hidden spot to begin with.

It was not crowded at all today. Busy, but plenty of open ports at all ranges. And parking too. Maybe it's a shore weekend? I dunno but I like it.

Barring hand size or illness, point of (semi)compacts in NJ?
Listen... you don't ever, EVER need a reason to purchase any type of firearm. PERIOD! Diversify your collection! You can always create an excuse to purchase something if not for doomsday then you can figure something out. i own full size pistols, a compact and a sub-compact. When sandy hit, i carried my PX4 compact on my property, and i realized while doing work and such it was still kinda big, so I picked up something even smaller.. Honestly, if a firearm is of good quality it almost always hits my long list, it's really nice to open your safe and ask yourself.. do i want to challenge myself today with a small size pistol? or do i want to shoot the star out of the target with my full size 1911? I think you can become a much better marksmen when you diversify your shooting and focus more on you then the gun.

Cherry Ridge (ANJRPC) Range - Big Thumbs Down
I finally had some time to get up there today since the winter, place is looking really good. i met Scott for the first time and he's a real nice guy, sounds like he has a lot on his plate maintaining the place though, im gonna have to show up for the next work weekend to give him a helping hand.. RO's were very friendly, had a bunch of new people sign up and they were very polite in correcting the new guys.

Should a quadrail be installed before pinning the muzzle break?
a few things to consider... if the brake is flush with the barrel.. no worries, everything will slip over it.... If NOT, then The barrel nut must be on the barrel and the gas block prior to brake pinning IF you have a low profile gas block, then NO the rail will slip over it, if not then the rail must be on as well, unless it is a 2 piece style. When i had my BCM barrel pinned, i had to give Nick over at Mastadon my Barrel with the Daniel Defense LIte barrel nut and the Low profile gas block. both were in place when finished... i attached the barrel to the upper and the rail slid right over everything. the question is will the rail clear the gas block? the other question is, make sure you pick the rail you want, because your not getting the barrel nut off, and about 50% of the rails out there use there own barrel nut.

IMO, you build your own blind...You don't show up at 5:30a.m. and just jump in any blind you see.... that's piss poor etiquette. Hunting ducks means your there a day or 2 early setting up your blind.. Using the excuse it's public land for being a lazy hunter doesn't work in my book...We are out the day before setting up our blind because there is no time to do it in the morning... so if your using a blind you didn't make... your already on strike 2 in my book.. if your at the point where you need to use someone elses blind they yes, your already doing something wrong.. it's difficult to just ask someone to leave.. by the time they pull their decoys and you set up yours shoot time has probably already passed... we get most of the birds to come in right before sun-up, after that you have sit around and wait to call them in, and you should be tucked in your blind well before that point to make sure your not educating any of the birds on whats going on... a simple mistake will keep birds from your spot all day. Up in the north, most of the time were the only ones on the lakes.. very secluded... we put a lot of time into finding off the beaten path spots.. the whole point of hunting is to do everything yourself and rely on no-one.

Have Your Brake Lines Checked!
Back on topic though, most cars come with some sort of rubber lines running off the chassis line to avoid corrosion where it happens worse... i've been thinking about getting my new jeeps under-body coated with some kinda protectant to avoid the metal lines from corroding.. and everything else.. Shitty part about brake lines is its difficult to say if they need to be replaced unless they are in fact leaking.. Every shop you go to will tell you they are corroded because every ones car has corroded brake lines... it's very difficult to tell if its bad enough to need replacement since the lines are so small. I am not happy to hear all of this though... increased corrosion on everything with this shit they are throwing on the ground.. if you got holes in you brake lines from this crap.. you can bet ur ass everything else under your car is developing holes.

Common, Fwd and drifting shouldn't even be in the same sentence lol... but yes RWD rally and drift car do have modified rear brakes... but shit man thats like a 3 foot pole, instead of a small handle and running off hydraulics
-
Have Your Brake Lines Checked!
I would agree with this. IMO the only easy way to lock the rear brake would be if it were running off a master cylinder... otherwise it would take some serious effort. You would laugh at how pathetic the accord e-brake is... at 10mph ripping it my hardest it felt like a midget was dragging behind the car. And it uses a wire system that overrides both rear calipers. pathetic i tell you. Only thing comparable is if you ever lost power in you car while driving... think about the force it takes just to apply the brakes to stop the vehicle, only now its just the small rear brakes... This is assuming the road is dry.

Have Your Brake Lines Checked!
When I had my 05 accord I would bed the rear brakes with the parking brake. I was never able to get them to lock let alone provide any real stopping power. I would think they fall somewhere in the middle. After the first attempt I never bothered bedding the rears again, unless they got changed with the fronts which wasn't often. And this was using brembo blanks and hawk performance pads.
