Yea Mike, I was wondering where you were, after all you started this. Just kidding Mike. Anyway, it was a rather large turnout, I think a total of 30 shooters and a few shooting multiple guns. Anyway being I had to get to work this morning I only shot 2 times on the first stage before I got out of there. It was nice, with I did get a chance to shoot more but I did get to put faces to a few more members from here and also was able to meet Wangsly (Jim) and pick up the brass I was buying from him.

Cool, will wait and see what you pic's look like, by the way whats it rated for, and what are you going to be shooting it with..

Nothing yet for the Static or Action matches this month.

1st Rule, don't look scared and don't try and be someone your not but do carry yourself like you belong there and 99.999% of the time you will have no problems at all.

As Maks said, no need to apologize at all, we actually like it..

Powder puff them 115's for Static steel and use the 124's for knockdown.

Did Maks put that penny under the popper again, I hate when he does that... Just kidding, as was said, you can always have the MD come check it for proper calibration, however on the same note we did have a lot of 9mm ammo at the last USPSA at OB that when we did the Crono on it, it didn;t make PF. That surprised me, and if you ever make it up to OB for one of these matches let me know, I have a Crono I keep in the car so you can play with it to see what shoots what in your gun.

Which DSG, and did they have a bunch in stock?

Is this code for something?? Sorry it's early and I am on my 2nd large coffee.

I'm with Ray on this, I was starting to get worried about you.

What ammo was it, how did the primers look, a good or light strike, and did the primers look to be set deeper than normal?

Bob, really, would you expect a different response from me??

Especially for someone who didn't even shoot the match.

Nope, I don't have a cat..

I have to agree, that was great, but I do have to ask, you really have to wonder what was going through her mind when she wrote. "Although he can't assist with your grip strength issue, he will be able to assist with your holster question Enjoy the rest of your weekend!! "

Next time I talk to my folks I'll try and remember to ask, I know they had something and I think they both got their what ever you needed back then when they turned 18, so that puts one in 1952 and the other in 1955, but I think we will have our answer soon from some of the member here.

Public

Yup,if your not familiar, it's 5 targets, one will be designated at the stop target, you shoot the other 4 in any order but you must place you last shot on the stop target, you shoot that 5 times in a row being time for each run at them. so 5 targets, change makes get the standby command and beep and do it again. Slowest time of of the 5 is thrown away, the remaining 4 are then used to for your final score on that stage. Now if you knew all of this, well just remember how Rosana-ana-dana would say... Never Mind..

Checking the place out, thanks, will pass it along to a some of the folks at work, we have a person here that they just found has cancer, but think they got in in the early stages, he hope at least waiting on more info. As far as the first line, I got all excited, Movember I was thinking incentives to Move in November and was thinking were out of NJ.. oh well, another 5 years before I retire and can leave.

I know you probably don't need them being you can change the mag out after each string of 5 targets, but if for some reason you needed a few extra G19 mags, let me know I have a bunch of extras I can bring for you to use.

A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Taser for their anniversary submitted this: Last weekend at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Toni. What I came across was a 100,000-volt pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on an assailant. The idea is to allow my wife -- who would never consider a gun --adequate time to retreat to safety. Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded in two triple-a batteries and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. But then I read that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs and I'd know it was working. Actually, I have yet to explain to Toni what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-a batteries, right? There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh and blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong? So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and taser in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. So, I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, "don't do it," reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for the heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and MOTHER OF GOD, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION !!!! I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, and body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, "the boys" nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs. You should know, if you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser,that there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap yourself. You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. OMG!!!!that hurt like HECK!!! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected what little wits I had left, sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. How did they up get there? My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. Still in shock, Earl

Me to, that one and the one about the guy who tazers himself in front his cat.

I don't do carnations, but I have one of my NJGF shirts on. I also assume that like other static steel matches it's not limited to 10 rounds in the mag like Action steel. Heck it's only 5 pieces of steel per stage anyway. I know I load more than 10 for my CZ so I can do more than 1 string without doing a mag change, but I am also bringing my GSG 1911-22, probably will shoot just that or both if it looks like it will be a quick night.

I'll see you Chili Joke and Raise you 1: For those of you who have lived in Texas, you know how true this is. They actually have a chili cook-off about the time Halloween comes around. It takes up a major portion of a parking lot at the San Antonio city park. The notes are from an inexperienced chili taster named Frank, who has visited from Springfield IL. Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cooking contest. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judges table asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me that I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted." Here are the scorecards from the advent: (Frank is Judge 3) Chili #1 Eddie's Maniac Monster Chili >Judge #1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick. >Judge #2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild. >Judge #3 -- (Frank) What the hell is this stuff?! You could remove dried paint on my driveway. Took me two beers to put out the flames. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy! Chili #2 Austin's Afterburner Chili >Judge #1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang. >Judge #2 -- Exiting BBQ flavor; needs more peppers to be taken seriously. >Judge #3 -- Keep this out of reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face. Chili #3 Ronny's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili >Judge #1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. Needs more beans. >Judge #2 -- A bean less chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers. >Judge #3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my back bone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting pie-eyed from all the beer... Chili #4 Dave's Black Magic >Judge #1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing. >Judge #2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish, or other mild foods; not much of a chili. >Judge #3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-lb woman is starting to look HOT...just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac? Chili #5 Lisa’s Legal Lip Remover >Judge #1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive. >Judge #2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement. >Judge #3 – My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off may forehead, and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I’m burning my lips off. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks. Chili #6 Pam’s Very Vegetarian Variety >Judge #1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers. > Judge #2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb. > Judge #3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous sulphuric flames. I pooped on myself when I farted and I’m worried it will eat through the chair! No one seems inclined to stand behind me anymore. I need to wipe my butt with a snow cone. Chili #7 Carla’s Screaming Sensation Chili >Judge #1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers. >Judge #2 -- Ho-hum; tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last minute. **I should take note that I am worried about Judge #3. He appears to be in a bit of distress, as he is cursing uncontrollably. >Judge #3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn’t feel a thing. I’ve lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are filled with lave to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they’ll know what killed me. I’ve decided to stop breathing; it’s too painful. Screw it; I’m not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I’ll just suck it through the 4-inch hole in my stomach. Chili #8 Karen’s Toenail Curling Chili >Judge #1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold, but spicy enough to declare its existence. >Judge #2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild, nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 farted, passed out, fell over, and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he’s going to make it. Poor fella, wonder how he’d have reacted to REALLY hot chili.

So folks, who is going?? Also who has been there and know about this match? How many stages do they use, how many people are usually there and most important being I have to work early the next day, what time do they usually end??
