Ouch. Tough crowd.

There's no pie!

I'm going to try from Sunday some time. Sorry.

Great write up Glenn! Shotgun is still a pretty abstract concept to me so some of it is a little out of my grasp but very informative. Really liked the information on the choke tube selection. I'm sure I'll pick your brain the more I get into shotgunning.

Good question. I'm looking forward to the responses since I'm pretty new as well. I'm pretty sure what ammo you uses comes down to shooter's preference and competition rules. Honesty, I use the same ammo at practice as I do in matches. I think it comes down to what you feel most comfortable shooting, shoot most accurately with, and if the ammo is loaded to minor or major specifications according to match guidelines. If you're just starting out, use what you use in practice. You'll make adjustments as you get more into the sport.

Welcome Jeff. Great group of shooters here. Jump on in!

Not going to make it

Bummed I missed it. I'll live vicariously through the vids.

welcome from monmouth county

Welcome!

Decent amount of guys here who meetup at the bullethole and bayonne. Check the meetups. Welcome aboard. Enjoy the pie!

dude...make love not war. peace

Well dude. I didn't know you meant tonight. Yeah...NFW. Thanks for the invite though.

lmao.... wtf?!

glad to see that kid strike back. seems like we're raising a nation of "soft" kids. i remember settling plenty of disputes in the school yard through fights. there were no worries of expulsion or attorneys or parents calling other parents. it's just how it was dealt with. and bullying was just a rite of passage....or is that right?

i will never understand women. how demoralizing.

yeah. ok. pie. right.

i missed about 5 weeks this winter but typically i go to the range no less than once per week and shoot one match per month. i can go through anywhere from 150-600 rounds at the range depending on what i'm practicing and if i have a good ammo reserve. Eighty to two hundred rounds at a match. i joined shore shot so it's the yearly fee, no cost to shoot. this year i expect to be costly as i plan to hit a lot of matches. which not only requires more money for ammo but match entry fees and registration with different organizations (i.e. GSSF, USPSA, IDPA) Of course, you also need to invest in holsters, mag holders, extra mags, belt, and ear and eye protection. dude...it just doesn't end. sorry friend...you haven't chosen a cheap hobby. stick with smaller calibers and you can save yourself money. when you really get bitten by the bug, you'll start reloading...i'm just about there. i started going to the range friday nights so i'd stay out of the bars and save money. joke's on me. i should have kept drinking.

Welcome!

my dad rode oregon to virginia. that's a whole crazy level of cycling. he still goes on a bunch of long trips every year. odd idea of vacation to me but hey, what do i know. you riders are a different breed.

From my understanding, yes. I believe you just need a driver's license and to be 21 or over. Double check but I'm pretty confident that's the case.

yeah. PM j0n about the pie. and ask him his thoughts on tributes to fallen K9 cops.

Shore Shot in Lakewood, about 40 minutes from you, is a good place to start. There are plenty of guns to handle and rent. I'd steer clear of Brick Armory which is a neighboring range. When you're ready to purchase I'm sure plenty of the guys would recommend TJ Arms from the forums.

Lots of great people and advice to be found on these forums. Welcome to the forums and the shooting world!

Solid maybe on this one as well.
