Ray, why do that??? he had the glide to an airfield in range, probably could have made it a little further if he needed and the Aircraft is going to land someplace, now what if he bails and the aircraft take out a house, a school, a large housing complex, or some event that it takes out a lot of people. Now if he didn't have flight controls and no hope of landing it then pull the handle, but that wasn't the case. But hey, thats just my thoughts and after all all my flying is unpowered.

Nope, not me and I like to think i stay a lot calmer than that when I'm on the radio..

Also, when you are done, 5 bucks to come shoot with you and cash only and list it as a private range so it's an exempted location.. Like they say, you build it, we will come,,, or something like that..

Thanks we try,, lol Now reading over it again I see you can move earth easy enough so I would first think about building up some of the berms up a little taller, a couple seem a little low. Now as far as setting up areas and what to do. I would if I was you come out shoot some of the matches that we post about here. Not only are they a lot of fun, but looking at the different ranges and type of shooting that may be different than you normally do, may spark a few ideas for you. If I was going to say what to do, I'd set up a few pits for action with storage sheds at the up-range edge of each for target stands. I'd have a few ready for USPSA and a few for Steel. I'd want berms on 3 sides and high enough to run overhead lines on a grid pattern. That way you can put up cloth walls and what not on the USPSA/IDPA pits. Now steel pits, same thing, sheds to hold the equipment and while I wouldn't ave any overhead lines to hang things, I would have the ground marked out so it would be easy to measure out and set up stages. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to do to all the pits like this. I'd also have rifle as you said you already have, but would make sure I have a nice set of benches, but also a roof over the shooting area, after all, no reason not to be out there even if it's raining. Now with that said, some sort of steel target in permanent stand that you can leave up all the time, after all no fun shooting wet paper. Want more???

Your buddy should contact the NJ2AS as well as the NJSP firearms division and find out why and how a town is even able to do that. I sure know I don't have an expiration date on my FID and I sure see no need to spend my money and time to do something that a town wants to make up.

It would be good it you did being that the data is being collected by the NJ2AS and they are working on getting PD to not drag their feet and if they have no idea your town has a problem it won't addressed. Not good for you and other people who live in your town. Plus who cares what you say about how you were delayed by your town, what, are they going to not let you get P2P's anymore???

Welcome to the Club...

Unbelievable..

Seems common place with all the different activities at the club, and I'd bet similar at other ones also. Overall, the responsible gun owners in general are a good group of people no matter what the PR of NJ thinks or feels..

Congratulation on the new gun, might even try some Federal Bulk 525 packs through her, they work well in all my 22LR's, both Hand and Long Guns and can often be found for very little coin.

Very true and sad at the same time..

Agree and had to +1 ya for that..

Ahhh, should you not have that reminder go to someone else Jon??? jk, just too easy to pass up..

Might want to put it down on paper. Estimate the cost in fuel and travel time to SS, BA, BH etc, vs OBRPC. Estimate the cost of each range visit, not ammo or anything like that, cost of range time. Now figure how many times a week or month you would go. Now add that all up on a yearly basis and see how it compares to a Club. As I said before it's some coin the first year, but after that figure it cost you a buck a day to belong to a club or close to that. I was originally a member of SS, but when I put all of this down on paper, I was actually saving money on a yearly basis, and quite a bit of money, and the biggest player was money for gas, and I get in the mid to upper 20's MPG in my car. Actually the way I figured it, I save more then double what my membership cost the first year at OB, not to mention the wear and tare on my vehicle, and when or if you get into action shooting, there is also a cost savings shooting matches at the club when you are a member. Might be different for you, but just figured I would point out there is more to look at that then just the initial cost, not only that, plus I get to shoot more often and can hit the ID range 24/7.

Would be good for USPSA and IDPA... Probably would need 2 P2P's and an exemption to get one in the PR of NJ...

Welcome to the Forum, and what Ray Ray said, you're off to a good start..

Once??????

No sure about CR but I think some of the clubs do have a youth shooters program, I know OBRPC does but probably a little further away from you than would be worth it to join, but tossing it out there just in case you didn't know. That and maybe one of the clubs closer to you has something like that. Also you could always do a NRA first steps class, Anthony at GFH might be a good place to start with. Oh and good job, not only getting the wife but your kid involved, after all our children are the next generation that will fight and keep our sport going.

Well it could be worse, he could be working quality control for rectal thermometers.

Maybe, not out of the question, only thing this year I would question it more being we had a very mello winter and don't think food was every a problem.

Really, most times I only like my range bag after a match or a day of shooting.

Primary range bage,backup range bag,ammo range bag,or secondary range bag????

Nice.

Seriously, this thread is now on my follow list. I would like to do something like this when I build a house down in FL or when out and around at the house in AZ.
