2014 Hunters Ed Field Days
The online course saves you the 1hr walk on test day. Worth it IMO because it may be raining or a big crowed that day. However, it takes a long time to complete online, much longer then the book. I could have completed the book in probably a few hours, but the online course takes a long time. It took me a week working 2 hours a day on it. It was cold a raining when I went and was packed. But I got to jump a head of everyone and go right to qualifications. So it saves you the field walk, plus you don't have to wait for qualifying because those lines can get big when everyone finishes the field walk. You also have to pay a small fee for the online voucher once you finish the course, the booklet is free. Last year when I went they told us they were getting rid of rifle. It was too expensive and not many people get muzzy permits. I told him its not our fault nj restricts rifle hunting. He laughed in agreement. Most people did the rifle just because, my self included, get it done while I was there, why comeback if I ever want to hunt with a rifle.

Are wheelies easier to shoot?
I've always been a proponent of stock grips, and learning to shoot the gun in its natural form. However, the 625 comes with an ungodly grip for speed shooting. Thanks JM! So i had to take them off. I'm very tempted to start finding molded grips for my pistols now, i just hate that wrap around grip revolvers don't have issues with, but i really like palm swells.. I'm pretty accustomed to all my pistols and there sights, variation between all of them. and bench shooting i can get nice small groups, but that's cheating.

Are wheelies easier to shoot?
My 1911 would be at the top but i wouldn't say significantly better then any of my other pistols. Typically speaking at 15 yards i would average 5" groups, but i was managing around 2" the 625 is a 4" barrel with target sights, my 1911 is 5" with target sights.. both have very crisp SA Comfort probably goes to the 625 with hogue grips, but this was also my first time shooting it, i'm contemplating getting grips for my 1911 now.. i just love the look of the standard wood. any one try these? http://www.pearcegrip.com/Products/Colt/PG1911-1

Are wheelies easier to shoot?
I was shooting single action. The double action is heavy and the groups open up significantly like it would for anything else... shooting the 625 DA was giving me groups i would get with SA pistol. I'm just trying to put a point on why my shooting improve so significantly and try and incorporate that into all my shooting.

Are wheelies easier to shoot?
I took my 625 to the range last week and found myself shooting the best groups I've ever put on paper. Consistently hitting bullseye at 15 yards. Real confidence booster! I've never gotten that accuracy with any of my semi's, it's definitely me because all of my pistols are capable of sub accuracy at 15 yards. It's my new favorite handgun to shoot. I was never much of a revolver guy, and purchased this one based on the fact that every one should own a wheel gun... i think i should own more.

Suggestions for 9mm that has .22 conversion kit available.
He could also buy one of the six sig 1911's offered in their deal and get the free Sig 1911-22, a bit more expensive but well worth it... also requires 2 p2p's

Comfortable shoes for standing / walking all day
I wear Calvin Klein shoes and I'm literally on my feet all day. I bought them based on the padding they have. Most comfortable shoes I own and they look good too.

368 Deaths in NJ from Heroin in one year.
The autopsy report and cause of death is the only thing that matters. Rarely is the cause of death actually listed anywhere, so anyone can tell who ever what ever they want. However, an overdose may or may not be a medical cause of death. If you blow enough coke to make your heart explode that doesn't mean it wasn't a cardiac issue, typically would be followed by drug induced cardiac arrest. With out going into details someone I know died from heroin, but it wasn't an OD, he died from a blood clot in one of his major arteries. No doubt cause by the insoluble garbage he was putting in his veins. An autopsy is more about what failed and how, you would never see drug overdose as the primary cause of death.

Indoor range allowing for 7.62 shooting?
Correct, that was my mistake, 5 and 7 o'clock would be the accurate vectors. Either way, the noise has never bothered me.. i used to hunt with zero ear protection. It's the direct percussion wave that gets me. The only people that feel it are the ports directly next to it, 2 ports over and it wouldn't bother me. Doesn't help when there is a 1 foot radius flash going off in your face either. It was probably the first time i was EVER annoyed at a range because of a firearm.. I'm usually pretty happy myself when something big in the room goes bang... but when i feel like a 50 cal is going of next to me and its an AR... disappointing is the least i could say. Most people don't even know they are doing it, and it is selfish to not understand that your on a range with other people.. there is nothing ok in my book about directing muzzle blast towards your shooting neighbors... There are outdoor ranges that have the space for such things. For separate guns.. if your shooting rifle and pistol, just go to the 50yard range... you can shoot anything in there..

Indoor range allowing for 7.62 shooting?
When it directs gas to the sides its not bad, but to the 3 and 9 o'clock positions it gets down right annoying. I'm not the type of person who flinches easily, especially after getting accustomed to the blast in the range. But i noticed myself getting smacked with the percussion wave pretty bad. With plugs and muffs on it's not the noise that bothers you. barrels with out comps direct all that energy forward.

Indoor range allowing for 7.62 shooting?
Handling the noise in a gun range, and having a comp blasting in your face 3 feet away are 2 completely different things..I don't think its good range etiquette to bring a firearm that specifically blasts your range neighbor indoors. Personally I couldn't care, just had one do it to me Sunday. It's just turns into a who can be louder effort, and I usually know that i'll probably end up using much more ammo.

Potholes
Pretty much, it has little to do with previous road conditions. Massive pot holes on roads that were just re-paved a year or 2 ago... We have been in such a deep freeze for so long that it is inevitable. All it takes is one warm day followed by a couple freezing days to really chew up a road.. this week is sure to open up the roads even more.

Woodland Park Range
Hit up GFH today for the first time.. went with a friend and his dad to the 50yard range to let off some steam from a really rough week. Can't even begin to say how great the place was. Went early morning, was a bit crowded but who cares... i had fun. I did manage to have one issue with the stupid port controller.. the target holder kept rotating when it would get to the final foot or so before returning to me... and i had to keep pushing the damn button to make it turn back into the correct position... I need to figure out how to work that thing... looked like it had some pretty cool features... would be cool to get it to rotate on a timer.

CCI Large pistol primers Available!!!!!
If you order a box of 5k it's cheaper, which is nice that they actually discount the 5k boxes. I wound up paying like $33 per K 5kSPP + 5kLPP and that's including shipping and hazmat. Only reason i bought so much was for the savings, and obvious stock piling cause i didn't need to buy SPP's.

.45 critical duty
The whole purpose of a plugged hollow point like the CD round is for more reliable expansion, not necessarily better expansion. They are consider flat nose though by NJ standards, same concept as the v-max bullets in .223 that have a polymer tip.

Help understanding the Dillon presses
Hornady powder drop, micro meter, and quick change die..... same time to change a powder drop plus the seconds it takes to dial in your charge, all you need are the quick change dies which are cheap. You can also run this setup on any machine. I don't store powder in my hopper, and use the same powder for my pistol rounds... but that could be an issue for some.

Remington R51 owner "wannabe"
I was looking into the R51 but couldn't get much info, wound up buying a p938 and couldn't be happier... The TTAG review turned me off from the R51. And it was much bigger then i had thought.

Alright... Which one of you is this?
I was actually thinking some nice black cherry wood would really make that POP!

Alright... Which one of you is this?
Don't worry i got it it too, thought it was pretty clever. I don't mind being a Nerd, it's a big part of who i am.

trying to find a pistol lock system
I'd be hesitant to use any lock that uses the trigger guard as a latching point.

Looking for an FDE Mid length 2 piece free float rail, suggestions?
It's funny you say that because i always wondered why FDE didn't resemble anything in relation to being flat dark earth. I've wanted to do a FDE scheme, buts it's just to bright for me.
