Good Post Gunny, never have served and wish I had at one point or another as I get older but just wasn't to say thank you to you and the others who have. Harry

Whre did you get them? Harry

You could always make up a hanging tag that you hook on your rear view mirror and take it down when you are at work, displayed at the club and not seen when you don't want it to be. Harry

Brian, Let's see how many people are interested and what days and maybe we can see what we can do as a group that works for the majority of folks. I know the days I am free are not the prim days for people, but they are for the range being open and not crowded. Some afternoons during the week may also work for me, I have other things I normally do and the family thing is also a concern, but as the days get longer it may work out that after 4PM may work. also for me. Harry

Your getting close to bringing CZ into this... Harry

I have a NRA one and so does the OL, her and I carry them all the time, she had traveled with it many times and I work at the airport, granted I bypass security unless I am flying but also have never had a problem when traveling. The only problem with the TSA is well at EWR I wouldn't trust them to watch my locked and alarmed parked car, but the TSA in general is not consistent from one airport to another let alone 1 check point to the next at the same airport. The more stories I hear the more I think they just make the rules as they go and if someone sees something they like it get confiscated, I'd bet even though all items taken are not to be kept and are to be disposed of but I'd bet that's not really the case. Next time, I'll tell you story of my daily ride just post 911 when I would go through the PANYNJ checkpoint with NJSP and DOC helping on my Harley with my trusty switch blade hanging off my belt. lol Harry

Plan to be a fixture at the indoor matches, and learn from watching and talking to the folks there. I do know about bad habits, I used to teach Hang Gliding so I know the pitfalls of getting into bad habits. Another reason I was hoping to see other people interested in doing this, getting people of different levels and learning from one another. Harry

I only picked Mon and Tue being I have them off, well I also have Sundays off but there is usually something else going on that day anyway. Yes I was at the last indoor match and plan on getting to the one this Friday also, the only problem is I get up the next morning at 0400 so I only get to shoot the first 2 stages. Enjoyed myself and looking forward to being a regular at them. Harry

How many members of the club are here and enjoy USPSA style shooting. I had an idea and would like to see if anyone might be interested. I know many of enjoy this sport and I know Mondays and Tuesdays are not the best days, however the range is usually open and using one of the pits would be ok not to interfere with anyone else who may be there. I was thinking about having a little get together of club members on these days if there is interest. We wouldn't be able to use the Clubs USPSA supplies but I think we cold come up with something. How would you like to have small group sessions for learning and familiarization with USPSA in a relaxed manner, Just people getting together and learning from one another and getting more accustom to shooting this sport. We could meet once a month, twice or weekly depending on the interest, if we do get a regular crew together I will even purchase a timer and see what I can do about setting up some scoring on a laptop to track how we do. These sessions would be conducted with the same rules and safety precautions as a regular match, safety first and foremost as we all know. So might there be some folks that might be interested from the club, if so let me know and maybe we can brainstorm some good ideas to make this a really fun a great learning experience for all who attend. Just something I have been thinking about and hope there may be some interest. May also and not sure about the rules, will have to check, but maybe some of the more experienced USPSA folks and or trainers in th sport may see this as opportunity to get involved down the road and make it a win win situation for both sides. Harry

As far as experienced shooters, I was lucky with the 1 USPSA match I shot at at the OBRPC to be on the same squad as Leo R and Mike G, 2 very good competitors and very helpful with comment and suggestions. Like I said I am going to slow it down and not try be pressured by the timer next time and see how that goes, I think taking a more relaxed approach will be better for me being new to this. Regardless I'm hooked. Harry

Good info Raz, I know what I want to do, and how I want to do it then the dang beep goes off and blam, it's all gone. I think I will just forget the timer and walk and shoot the stage and remember what I want to do and move on from there, I am getting more into a rush and not scoring as well as I should be. In my head I can think a good stage and know what I want to do, heck I feel the same way when I play pool, after the break I can glance at the table and see how a run should be shot so that's not problem but unlike pool that I can run out, I'm not doing the same with shooting. I'll have to check with my club but it would be nice to be able to practice small stages, nothing elaborate maybe a easy to change stage to practice on, would be nice if the club allows it and some other folks would like to get in on it. I think I would learn a lot more in a setting like this with others trying to do the same thing rather than just shooting a real match once a month. Harry

The CZ 75's do have 15, 16, 12, 10 and I think an 8 depending on the model, but the 75 TS should only have 10 (can't find right now) 17 and 20 that I have seen, very select model the TS is, not really overly compatable with the other 75's. Harry

I found the same thing with the mags, I see you said you Planned on buying, did you make the final decision not to get it?? If not and I do track some down I'll let you know if you want. Harry

VJ: Really good points, I knew Minor made you shoot A's and Major left a little more wiggle room. Like they say "Aim Small, Miss Small" . I will be shooting another indoor with my Glock 19 so I will have more practice with minor as well as the USPSA match at the end of this month. I won;'t have the new CZ until the 30th anyway. Not that I have to go with the CZ right away but I did like the way it shot at the range, your point of on the move is very valid. Thanks, and as far as shooting, I was mostly with long guns many years ago, I have pretty much gotten into hand guns this year, so I'll just say I started in 2011 to make it easy. DJ: Thanks, exact reason I chose the gun I chose to get, like I said I have shot it before but have my own coming so I'll be a proud owner of a CZ 75 TS at the end of the month and have the 5" barrel covered. I'm like a kid before X-mas right now. Keep them coming folks, I know I must not be the only one with questions like this and hope me asking them has answered some of the other new peoples questions. Thank you all, Harry

This is a good time to bring up keeping an old cell phone you no longer use in the closet or location you would go to to defend your home, just keep it on a charger and it's there ready to go, no need to pay for service, most phones out these days are good to dial 911 even if they aren't activated on a particular network. Harry

Happy B-Day jOn. Harry

Thanks for the info, I know being new to USPSA is a learning curve. I know I enjoy it and will continue, I don't reload yet but do have a few people I know that do and will be getting advise from them on what to do when it comes to that, they are Dillon (sp?) fans. As far as the different divisions I know what they are, but I am trying to see why or what advantage there would be to staying in Production if any, especially being I do have a nice handgun on the way (30 day rule) that will be good for either Limited or Limited 10, and I do think it's a nice gun for these divisions. I am not looking to be the best out there or even close, but to do my best and 1st of all be safe, and second have fun. I know the cost of stuff, all the fun stuff cost money. lol, My friend shoots Open reloads his own and doesn't have a bottom of the line STI, not that I want to get that far into it, but who knows years down the road, but for now I would like to take advantage of the CZ 75 TS I will have at the end of the month. Harry

It's all fun and game till someone gets their eye knocked out. Harry

Looked around and didn't see anything on this, I did watch the videos on the pinned thread, great information but didn't touch on this. I hope this brings to light what others may have wanted to ask but didn't and me being new I'll get the ball rolling. I shot my first USPSA match at OBRPC last month, had a great group of guy on the squad, lots of tip and tricks and just a fantastic time, ready to go again, and from what my final scores were, I guess I need to go a lot more and learn allot also. Also the questions below are not to compensate for my performance but to move on and get closer to what I would eventually be shooting over time. Now I was shooting Production, I am adding a new gun to what I have that would make the Limited and Limited/10 classes available and to what I see Major for scoring rather than Minor in Production. From everything I can see and understand would it not be advantageous to use the gun that I will have in Limited over Limited/10 and Production, I can't really see why it would not be better to shoot #1 Major scoring points and to have a higher magazine capacity. I know that the cost factor is or may be higher as far as equipment for Limited over production but other than that what would be the negatives from going to Limited. Yea I know if all this is true why not just go full bore and go Open but the wallet is starting to get thin. Thought's, comments, advise?? Harry

Cool, I want one. Harry

Just another good excuse to pick up another for the collection is what I say, by the way, this forum and you all are helping the economy, I know I wouldn't have bought 3 out of the 6 guns I bought this year so far, and don't talk to me about ammo. Harry

Nice, I like it. ETA I see you fixed the media link. lol Harry

Replying again to let you know I got it yesterday, set it up at home and went looking around, real nice, this is my first spotting scope and I'm happy with what I can see, not to get to the range and see what she does on the 100yard range. Harry

Don't know anything about Fios but if you have a sound system hooked up you should be able to add remote speakers in any location you can run wires. They also have wireless speakers you can use but never tried them other than my BIL's house for the surround sound. The only thing this would get you is the sound in a different location, all control would be at the source if that's workable for you. Harry

These were plain cardboard targets not paper on them and when ever I do put paper on I staple all 4 corners. Hoping to be able to get to the range today or tomorrow for a follow on this. Harry
