AS350Driver

Have you looked at the M&P Shield? It's a nice little gun, recoil is very manageable and it's pretty accurate for such a small gun. I have one if you'd like to try it out sometime. I'm considering selling it just because I shoot lefty and have hit the mag release a couple of times while shooting it, which doesn't give me 100% reliability, something I would need for a CCW gun. I think price wise it's inline with the Nano. PM me if you'd like to try it out.

Have a great time Jon!

I'll be there for trap in the morning.

If you like craft beer then Beerwars is pretty good, available on Netflix.

Another +1 for Subaru, I had an 07 Legacy and loved it, then I got the bright idea to get a Hyundai Excel for better gas mileage and hated it. So now I have a truck, and when I need better fuel economy I drive my wife's Mazda.

The hardest part for me so far with stage design is coming up with something original. I really don't want to copy someone else's idea or make something similar to what i've seen on youtube. With that being said i'm enjoying the challenge.

I'm also planning on shooting trap this Sunday, I got the check out on the machines last month but haven't been able to make it out there yet to shoot. Like you i'm also a beginner, but Mike the guy who does the check out said it's very beginner friendly. Hope to see you out there.

Ray, you forgot, damn I didn't bring enough ammo! Matt, I should have a stage design for the September match, and I might even be able to shoot in the match.

Yep, I had most of the steel from other projects just lying around.

This is what I did. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/39475-shooting-steel-is-addictive/

I had both, but got rid of the 10/22. The S&W eats the cheap ammo all day long and it's quite accurate.

Maks its the 2/3 size for $75, shipping was about $20. Here's the link, http://www.arntzentargets.com/products.htm Alec, I do have enough for probably a couple more bases. I went 18" wide and the lengthwise tubes are 24". I positioned the crossbar 10" from the front to give the rear a little support. No wobbling whatsoever, and I didn't bother to stake it down.

Thanks guys, this sure beats taping targets.

Last week I ordered a new steel target from Arntzen. It came on Thursday, and I finished building the stand for it today. I couldn't wait to shoot it so I loaded up the truck and took a ride to CJ. The only downside to shooting steel is how fast you can go through ammo. I only grabbed 200 rounds and went through that in about 45 minutes. Now I need to get another one to shoot the rifles with, so much fun. Here are some pics of the stand I built for it, and a quick video. Ment to put this in general firearms discussion, oops.

If you have a cart go ahead and bring it. You'll see plenty of people with them, it is very convenient to have everything you need right there with you.

Go anyway, you can probably get a walk on spot if you're early.

Nope it's a bit louder. Hope to see you guys at CJ or OB next month.

Training at the Bell factory school. Might have to change my screen name since we're not going to fly the AS350 anymore. Changing over to a Bell 206L4.

I'm out, gotta go to Texas for work stuff.

So far i'm loving the xtremes. I think i've loaded around 2500 in 9mm so far and shot over 1k. Never had any issues with steel so far. I just started loading 40S&W with them and was having some keyholing issues at first, but I think it was a little too much crimp. I plan on going to the range tomorrow to try some more out. Also a big +1 to Jon(NJReloder) for providing me with these bullets.

Man that looks like a lot of fun! Totally jealous!

Yes the block can be removed, but when I did this on mine the slide would no longer lock back on the last shot.

I ordered a Bladetech DOH for my M&P 40 pro (a lefty version also) on July 27th and received it yesterday. So a little bit better than the five weeks they're quoting on their site.

Looks like a great match, wish I could've been there. How'd you manage to go minor?

I'm out for this too now, work sometimes sucks. Have a good time everyone.
