Living Social Deal: 8hr Fishing Trip for $29, 4hr for $21, Expires THURSDAY
Hi everyone, Living Social is running a deal for fishing in Sheepshead bay lead by "Captain Midnight". The deal includes rod/reel/bait but not hooks/sinkers which you buy from them or bring yourself. I called and am under the understanding they are using 8oz sinkers which they charge $3 for. Didn't ask for the price on hooks. The trips run 7 days a week and if you use the deal you'll have to call in and get a reservation (Call Stephanie at 718-373-2686). I was able to get the full day for 2 reserved for the 15th this morning. Full disclosure, I get refunded for mine if three of you use the reference link below to purchase. Underneath that is a non reference link as well. https://www.livingsocial.com/deals/446870?ref=conf-jp&rpi=77878424 Link with no reference: http://www.livingsocial.com/cities/1719/deals/446870-full-day-fishing-trip-for-one Deal Text: Capt. Midnight Full-Day ($29) or Half-Day ($21) Fishing Trip for One with Rod, Reel, and Bait Fishing is like trying to meet someone at a bar: You throw out a lot of lines in the hope that one works, and if not, you remind yourself there are plenty of others in the sea. With today's deal from Capt. Midnight in Sheepshead Bay, work on your casting skills, so you can reel in a real winner. Pay $29 (regularly $60) for a full-day excursion (7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.), or pay $21 (regularly $42) for the half-day outing (5 to 9 p.m.). Departing daily from Pier 1 starting at 7:30 a.m., this beautiful vessel, which boasts ample deck space, is primed for hooking some serious catches in Jamaica Bay or the Atlantic Ocean. Under the guidance of a seasoned and friendly sailor -- and equipped with included rod, reel, and bait -- you'll explore the fertile waters off the BK coast, meaning you'll have a good shot at snagging the one. PAID VALUE EXPIRES ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2017 PROMOTIONAL VALUE EXPIRES ON DECEMBER 15, 2012

Knockdown Steel @ OBRPC - 9/7/12?
With the month starting on a Saturday the Knockdown steel match is this coming Saturday, right? I will be attending, with my spiffed up Saiga-12. After much tweaking she's now all sorted out with a trigger job and an adjustable gas system with mags that work. Hopefully I will be able to there early to help set-up instead of rolling in at the last minute yet again...

Several Dead, Including Gunman, in NJ Supermarket Shootout
Hi everyone. I know that this event is going to spark controversy but I think it is a damn shame that it has already, and continues to be, about, firearms. At the end of the day you have someone who represented America's interests, trained in combat skills, and perhaps even fought and killed to support American wars. Why is it that this young veteran, and so many other veterans, end up commiting violence against themselves and others? Why is suicide claiming more Iraq and Afghanistan veterans than the wars themselves? As Americans we need to accept that veterans hold a burden that we civilians can never truly understand. It affects them through PTSD, depression, and their training does not encourage them them to be help seekers. It results in a higher propensity for homelessness, joblessness, and a feeling of disconnection with society, only worsening their problems. Please look past the gun and see the troubled man that as a society and country we failed. We need to better service our high risk populations with mental health services, I.e. teens, homeless, and veterans. There will always be sane, morally absent people who do evil and as a society we need to do the best we can to help the unstable from breaking and adding to that evil. As for the politics a I know us that I'm not going to be happy with the rhetoric from both sides. Hopefully things don't get worse for legal owners but if it does I'm sure it will take a while before anything gets through our slow ass government at which point it becomes appropriate to discuss the lawmakers.

Knockdown Steel @ OBRPC - 7/14/12
I emailed someone a while back and they never got back to me... have never shot steel or "practical" competitions before. I want to shoot this with one of my stock shotguns (870 clone or 11-87, no mag extension tubes) but I don't have any equipment other than a shell bag for trap shooting. Do I need speed loaders to be able to play? Is there a par time? I have no issues with having the worst times, I just want to at try this sport out!

Public Ranges/Events for Shooting "Experiences"
I've clicked through all the "disciplines" and my impression was that the Static steel is a pistol event focusing on speedily shooting a few plates. Do they have a shotgun version of static steel?

Public Ranges/Events for Shooting "Experiences"
I shoot trap, skeet, and indoor rifle. I've gotten a lot more confidence in my handling, safety, and experience with my firearms in the past 3-4 months and am looking to branch out into some new experiences. On my short list are: Appleseed - Next one is June at Winslow, NJ? Steel - OBRPC's Knockdown Steel on May 6th Blowing up a Watermellon/Tannerite - Is there anywhere I could go aside from trying to make friends with lots of land? Sporting Clays - Red Wings is the closest to NYC area? I don't want to hunt, so are there any other interesting non-pistol shooting sports/experiences that you'd recommend to a new shooter?
