New Shooter from Point Pleasant Beach
Well welcome to the Forum and we are nice to all shooters and wimin especially. Good choice on having your friend pick SS for your first range experience, not only are that a great place to shoot, if your friend need a little assistance in teaching you, the Range Officers are great, and if you do need help see if Phil is there, good teacher and just a good guy all around.

Reloading and Insurance
Anyone? I'll have to check my policy and see if there is any wording to that effect. It would suck to have something happen and not be covered due to some fine print like if you were flooded and didn't have flood insurance. Have to check my NJM Policy when I get home.

CJRPC help
Manny, I'll second what Alec said. I know I am a SS member also but after joining OB I just can't bring myself to drive that far, not only for the cost of gas, but the amount of time. I would give Proximity a lot of weight in the decision. As far as what range is better than the other between OB and CJ, well overall facilities I would give CJ the advantage, especially if you like your shotty time. However I would be a member of what ever one was closer to me and not have any regrets in my decision, and thinking about it, if I was an even split between the 2, I'd probably be a member of both.

I think it would increase Productivity and the use of the word SIR might be a little more frequent..

Old school to new school games
Shane, lol I remember we used to get do the bb gig also, and I'll tell ya, we made the little milk carton container last a long long time, we had a nice location to play that we would be able to find the bb's and shoot them over and over. Not to mention this semi rigid plastic tube we found, not as hard as PVC but not as soft like fuel line, we used to load cherries from the tree in the tube and fling them at each other, man we got pretty accurate with them and boy did they hurt when you got hit with them. We were out side from the time we got home from school until the street lights came on. We did all of these things and we all lived, we made it through with, well to tell the truth, some minor injuries, and yea one of us got an eye poked out, but they put it back in, and I still don't need any glasses other than the readers I got a few months ago.

UPDATED Stainless Tumbler Project
Being that you weld, maybe put together weld some flat panels into a pentagon or hexagon and weld 2 round strap around the end like the Thumblers unit and use some sort of liner. Not sure if the rubber liners you would put under a stand-up shower would work with the seams to well but maybe, some sort of spray rubber liner. Just tossing ideas out.

How many rounds do you average a year!
Nothing new dude, haven't been in the last 45 years, why change now. Didn't include 22's, if we did, it would be 10K or more.

You might want to add more than the 5 choices up there..

UPDATED Stainless Tumbler Project
The drying box sounds good, but with my Thumblers unit I just did 2 loads of 400, and I use a tray with a towel on it, after spinning it in the media separator and rinsing the brass off well I just lay it out and let it dry overnight. Next morning I have clean dry brass ready to go. I could probably even lay the try with the clean brass on the towel on the ground and blow a fan over it and have it all dry in less than an hour if I really needed to, but I am building up my brass supply to 5K of 9mm and 5K of 40 and rotate through that for now. I figure I'll keep at least 2500 loaded at any given time, and do a couple day of brass cleaning every once once in a while being I remove the primers prior to cleaning and I will have a separate tool head for doing that. Being your able to do larger loads of brass, and if I was able to do that much at a time I would get a couple of the big cookie sheets and used then with a towel on it to dry out the brass. I figure with that water bottle if you did it in that you could probably do 2500 rounds at a time and 2 cookies sheet with towels, tumble for 3 or 4 hours, let dry for 8 and your good for a while in 12 hours or less. I consider that very respectable rate.

Primer Group Buy?
Steel Match on the 6th at OB. If you don't make that one we will work it out. Looks like we have a NJGF squad in the works also, bring your shirt...

Interest in a reloading class/workshop?
I'll keep an eye on this, I would like to learn a trick or 2 from others if the time and place works out that I can make it.

Are you Tactical?
Agree big time, there cookie cutter chops on the TV shows are crap, let along I think a lot of them are hacks, I wouldn't let the OCC crew try and fix a Boat Anchor. I have always built bikes I could ride, well I may not want to ride any distance on some of my ol 60's and 70's rigid chops any longer, I sure as heck did back then when I built them.

Get out the shovels and the blowers
Keep an eye one it, and like last year every storm was being reported, if we have just a slight shift or it slows down a little bit, or the temps are 1 degree cooler, we will get slammed, if not, it's beach weather. Well it looks like I ain't going to the beach tomorrow, Just glad it a Saturday at the airport and a lot lighter schedule as well as I'm working the morning and will be out of there before this crap hit,,, I hope..

Ammo Purchase
Nascar Like was said earlier, on-line and phone in orders may or may not ask for a copy of a DL or FID, it';s up to them. As far as the question about what is pistol ammo in NJ, Well that's you normal pistol ammo obviously, and then what most would consider rifle ammo, 22LR being it is a pistol ammo also, the other one thats common is 410 shotty, being you have pistols like the Judge and the like. Can't think of any other common that would fall into the either or category but if I missed anything someone will be along to straighten me out. On another note on Cheaper than Dirt, they has a slight supply problem that backed them up, there may have been some recent orders taking a little longer than normal, From what I heard was it didn't impact all calibers but they are either back on track or real close, so if anyone had problems, it's being corrected.

Get out the shovels and the blowers
Yup plenty of uses, I still have stabil and will now use it till it's gone and then just use the sea foam. I have used sea foam for years I never read the label that far down that mentioned it was a good fuel stabilizer until the hurricane thread. I do put a little through all my vehicles a few times a year and I have no complaints.

RTSP Firearms
I have seen there are 3 different RTSP users on the forum, 2 that were active this month and one that hasn't been for a long time. I was just wondering if anyone has PM'd them and let them know that there is a new thread about the range and maybe want to jump in. I has been 3 days from the last time they signed in and with all thats going on with the final inspections, getting the CO and probably a million and 1 things to do to get ready to open. In other words they probably have a month or more of crap to get done in 2 or less weeks, so I doubt being on a forum on the INTERNET is at the top of there priority list. Maybe we should all give them just a little time and see how it is when they open, maybe flip off a PM so they see we are looking for them. After all, there were a bunch of ideas they had that were quickly swayed the other way from all of our suggestions. Remember they are new to this, they are not opening a second location, this is there first dance. Let let time tell how well they do and how well they listen to there customers, I also agree being a forum vendor would go a long way and probably pay for itself in the first month or less.

Dorney Park? CCW???

SASS Cowboy Shooting
While I have never shot CA I will tell you if you ever went to a range in say, AZ and saw a match and some of the females shooting, you would think differently. And for any who have been to one of the big rodeo show, well let me say walking around could get a worse case of whiplash than trying to last for 7 second if you catch my drift...

FID & PP Card Township Paperwork Requirements
Wow, I can;t believe the PD is turning a verification of employment only that doesn't need to be done in the first place being employment isn't a requirement to have or apply for a FID or PP. Add in the fact that they are putting the employer on the spot asking them to answer a question they shouldn't be ask or answer in the first place. Wonder what a lawyer would have to say about that form, and I wonder what HR at the employer would advise to be done with the form.

New firearms TV show
Cool, we could use an unscripted type of show, we have enough reality TV already.

Get out the shovels and the blowers
Check out the following URL and put in your zip code for your city and then click on Weather graph towards the lower right corner of the page.. It will give you a breakdown by the hour and what the weather will be like each hour as will as snowfall accumulations. We have a lot of weather guys locally and in the centers that I talk with all the time, but I still always look at this, plus is like a picture and I like pictures.... NOAA
