While the lack of any drama may appeal more to the active shooter, if we really want a broader audience the drama is needed to attract people who would not normally watch a show like that, it's a small price to pay as a viewer to attract more people to the sport, as long as it doesn't get out of hand like some other shows out there. For example, Bike shows, Way too much drama and BS and me being someone who has been riding and building most of my own bikes for 27+ years I can't even watch them. I wouldn't let the most famous of the shows (OCC) do work on my boat anchor, they would probably screw that up. Harry

Welcome to the forum. Harry

The posts after yours answer the legal side of it, but I have to ask, is there a stamp on the mag showing the capacity, and maybe even a p/n: that cross references to there catalog or web site listing it as a 10 round mag?? If so and there have been no modifications, we may be in an even more gray area, that is if it fit's in a semi auto of some sort. Harry

Fully understand, I'm on wife #1 and plan to keep it #1 only so I do what I have to to keep her happy. Harry

Work with me here. The 686 is first, then to save money the 22 joins the family, now that you want to shoot both reloading can then come into the picture. Hey I have only been doing this for 20 year with my OL, and she knows me and while I married her for her looks, I don't always like the looks I get, but hey, I know the most important rules. #1, it easier to beg for forgiveness #2, Say after me, your right, I'm wrong. Remember if mommas not happy, nobody's happy. Harry

Almost thought I recognized a few of the places, but in PA a lot of the places look like that, but when I checked, I realized it's about 10 miles from my buddies house just outside Numedia and I probably have rode my bike through that area a time or 3. Actually the next time I am out there will be 2 weeks from now at the Numedia race track for the AHDRA races for the weekend. Get to set the tent up on the pit area with all the racers for the weekend and BS and watch the races with a few friends. Very nice area, I enjoy visiting that part of PA. Harry

Then there is the school of thought, get the 686 shoot it a while and then say, this is getting expensive, I should get a 22 to SAVE MONEY... Harry

LOl, we will hook up between now and then, and I'll show you around. Harry

Very nice, but you sure your done?? I have herd that before.... Harry

Exact reason I jumped on the 5250 rounds from Dunns the other week, no tax and free shipping and 159.99 was not letting me off the website until I bought it. Harry

Fixed that for ya, you know these things are like potato chips, you can't have just one. Harry

I'm waiting for my NJGF Shirt to arrive, I have only meet (that I know of) 3 different FFL's and wish i could give all 3 of them my business at the same time but need more coin for that. All of them so good and nice you feel bad when you buy something from the other one so so far I split it 1 purchase each. Harry

First off, Great gun you got, and Paul is a pleasure to do business with. As far as the wife and/or any children, the day you sign up you can bing the WITH you to any range, they can not come on there own, but bring them every day with you and it's cool. Harry

Not really sure, but I am picking up, well my wife is picking up the MK III Hunter later this week and I have been doing a little reading about the Rugers. While isn't not a concern to me being the cost of 22LR's compared to the other calibers I shoot, I have found the spectrum to be wide on what people shoot through them and/or what ammo they have problems with. Seems like there is a slight variation on either models or machining that can make gun A good for X ammo, while gun B doesn't like X ammo. Hope I am lucky with the new addition to the family being bulk ammo tolerant because I have over 10K in bulk ammo . Harry

I don't think i am missing the point of the thread and how it has evolve in it's totality they may have strayed a little but all additions to the discussions. The point I was trying to make, it any form of practice is going to help you out over not practicing at all. If ALL you are concerned about is an attack, then focus your training on that. While if you only train for an attack you will fair better in that 1 in a 100000 chance of it happening to each of us individually, but to have the appearance that any other discipline in shooting may not be helpful or form bad habits isn't completely true. Also it depends on the individual, you can have a person who all they do is practice attack scenarios and get very proficient in them, but put it to the ultimate test and THAT person may not deal with it well. Only point I was trying to make, it this thread while has opened up some side discussions and different perspectives still has an underling tone of my way of training is better than yours, while I just feel any form of training is going to gain anyone with an advantage over no training. Hey I don't have a dog in the fight so I'm not for one side or another, I just find it entertaining that this thread has probably been the most active and quickest growing thread I can remember and I wanted in on it. Harry Harry

This thread is not turning out to be the most productive with the this is better than that and what not. I think the bottom line is Not practicing any shooting is a disadvantage, Shooting any discipline regardless of type is an advantage and think it even has an advantage over just shooting at the range. Gaming as it has been refereed to promotes quicker draws in some sports, more familiarity in changing mags, more experience with shotting on the move. Overall, no practice isn't going to do anything, standing at the range is going to get you more accurate with practice, competition shooting is going to have you learn a few more skill sets. No none of us know how we will deal with a real situation, and even people who have run through Simunitions still have it in the back of there mind that is it Simunitions, the only way for any of us to know how we will react to a real threat is to be in a real threat and god I hope none of us ever have to be in that situation. There is one thing I do find funny and just because I shoot USPSA (very new and not good at all, YET) but I do know if I was in a real situation I would not just walk like I am shooting a match and try and gun everyone down like they were targets or steel, I would more than likely be hiding my butt behind cover and do what ever I need to do to come out of it alive, and until I am in that situation, I will not know how well I will do or not do. In the end, you practice what you want for fun, do what you want for fun, hopefully get better at it over time, and if you really want to train for an attack, there are places to do that and if you have the coin to put out for it, great, if not and that's not your cup of tea, so be it, but this My way of training is better than your isn't getting any of us anyplace.

There is a probationary period for the first 6 months only, after that and you meet the requirements you become a full member. The involvement in activities is required, but I think it really is you need to participate in 2 and view 3 for a total of 5 but you can participate in as many as you like. I never though about or even knew about a lot of the activities and disciplines that are available for club members. I just went to a range, shot paper and that was it previously, the Indoor shoots and USPSA matches I have shot were a great learning experience and just a lot of fun. There is only one problem with having to shoot them, you just might get a new hobby that's fun, get to meet a lot of good people and go through more ammo than you normally would. Like I said, it's not bad at all, and just a good way to get to meet other members and shooters because when there isn't an activity you most of the time find yourself to be only one at either of the ranges when you go. Like I said, I mentioned the times I am available to show you around and if you want to take me up on the offer just let me know. Put it this way, my only regret about joining the club is I waited till March and lost the time I could have been a member if I joined sooner. Harry

Ray, it is fun, and I have a lot of it with my limited time shooting it and I shoot like ****, but will say it is a better learning experience than just standing at the range shooting paper, and let me tell you, the way the guy took down that Texas Star, lets just say them ain't easy and I think he only took 6 shots. I hear what you are saying, but from what I have read in this thread are plenty of valid points, but I will tell you, there are a lot of things you can take away as far as experience from shooting USPSA and other disciplines. Now I haven't seen it mentioned, but if anyone really wants to see how they might do in a simulated real situation where there is stress, cover is needed, and there is force in both directions, we could all take a class at GFH who is now doing Simunitions. I think that would be the closest you going to get to really knowing how any of us would react in a stressfull situation without risk of death in a real situation. You know any Zombie School traing facitilies?? Harry

I believe as I understand it and the enormous amount of gray area in NJ that you would be fine with a long gun, but not a hand gun with how the exemption clause for transport reads. Harry

To all the Mothers out there a Happy Mothers day to you. And to all the guys, yea we may have been called mothers before but we don't get a card today. One more very important thing, DON'T forget it's Mothers Day, remember if you are reading this, you more than likely in a house with a gun or more. :) Harry

Thats was a different time and long gone, when I was a kid we did that and some times the one you fought really became to be good friends after words. Problem today is too many fights are not with fists, they are with some sort of weapon, be it a knife, stick, bat, or anything else they can get there hands on. Kind of depressing when you really think about the times we are in and they way things are for kids growing up. Harry

Nice job with the Pic, never got into racing the strip, my father did some racing when he was younger but I was more into mudding with 4X4's back in the early 80's and that was expensive enough. So it's looking like it's going to be a good day for racing so you probably won't make it to OBRPC. Not this week but normally I am off on Sun-Mon-Tue and can usually get away for a little bit between 1800-1900 the other days of the week. From the WaWa at the end of the bridge, it's only 10 minutes to either the ID or OD ranges. Harry

You got out and came back??? WHY??? Tell us what it was like.... Harry

A lot of the pic's from the matches are on the left side of the goggle map image that was in the other post. If you look at that image, the far left one if the 100 yard range, nest to it is the 50 and left of them are various pits. The bottom left is for shotgun, there is a manual thrower in the trailer that we can use. Let me know If you don't go tomorrow, I'll PM you and we can work something out, you are close and I'll bring you down there just to show you around, won't be able to shoot being I can't guest anyone in yet, but at least we have a month to get you in to see the place. Good luck in the race if you don't go. By the way, what do you race? Harry
