maybe your not who I think you are. did your son just join the Youth small bore? They shoot Thursday nights we met at a speed on steel shoot -- you said you shot Shot skeet forthe 1st time -- used an 18 inch barrel-- my son and I where just checking things out anyway I'm not sure we are making it to ysb either -- work is busy and its hard for us to get there for Ruffs 6pm start time. you're still welcome to try out the gsg if we can get together

I'll take it if old school changes his mind

No FHA here but I'm in the process of a refi right now -- I'm doing a 30 year at 3.75% -- I'm only 4 years into my current mortgage. If I continue to make my payments at my current rate I'll knock 10 years off the new mortgage. I did get some fees waived but it's still gonna cost me about 2,000 which is getting rolled into the refi. The real shocker was the appraisal -- 4 years ago I was appraised at $400,000 -- Just last week $285,000 -- I'm not upside down but I paid $284,000 for the place 10 years ago. Depressing...

My GSG eats everything I put in it. It's most accurate with CCI Blazers a the moment. I even tried a few mags of Wolf match ammo. Federal bulk runs just fine too. On it's 1st outing it was giving me trouble feeding from a full mag but thats gone now. I picked up a case of that Dunns Federal bulk a couple weeks ago too. Looking for mags now -- PSA had them but I delayed my order and now they show none. Free shipping there right now. Aim surplus had them the last time I checked but they want $13 or $14 for shipping. Really don't want to add a high shipping charge to an already overpriced mag.

What are the ammo and equipment requirements for this -- I'd love to try it out as a new guy. I'd also love for my 12 year old son to shoot it but I'm lacking on .22 rimfire mags Jer

Kings --- I just purchased a GSG 1911 2 weeks ago -- It's a blast to shoot for me but as delivered was a little large in the grip for my son -- I'm working on shortening up the length of pull and have put some smaller, thin grips on -- Anyway, If your the guy I think you are then I'll see you at YSB -- Hopefully we can make it this week -- I'll bring the GSG and If they don't get out too late you and your boy are welcome to send a few downrange -- Jer

Got my email today and bought my gift certificate before I came here. Was gonna post about the deal but I see you already have... Need some 1911 parts---

I've noticed that there is a rather small window for a properly placed target. It's actually very easy to set up at the wrong height using a close up target stand but it's also very easy to see when it's wrong. I've done it a few times and never had to fire a round to know it was wrong -- Really not a big deal, just walk out and reset your target height on the cardboard. I'd really hate to see a "no close range target rule" -- I rarely shoot out at 25 yards and it would make my wife and sons miserable.

I signed up last month -- Been there at the indoor 6 times now -- Sometimes you get the range to yourself, sometimes not, it doesn't really matter everyones been friendly so far. I've been to the outdoor 2 times but haven't shot there yet. Been there to observe some events. I won't just go to watch anymore - looks like too much fun to not shoot. I'll be there Sunday to break some clay birds with my son -- See you there. Jer

Interested in the whole deal minus the ammo --- PM sent for location -- Want to come take a look. I'm out of OGAM in about 2 weeks with permit in hand.

My local PD said the same thing -- only 3 permits at once -- Reason was I could only use 3 before they expire having a 30 day wait in between each 1. Off course there's the extension but I guess they don't want me to count on that. I'm in the same boat as the OP -- 1 permit of 3 left - Not sure what I want -- 1st two went to .22 rimfires -- ruger MK III hunter and a GSG 1911 I personally am a fan of the 1911- my 1st was a colt combat elite - ever since then nothing feels right in my hand -- I just don't like the polymers or double stacked mags.

closest without going over --- I'll take 1 pound

So, would it be possible to mount bayonet with just the ears - "B" ground off? I have no idea how they mount having never handled a bayonet.

Sure beats a Tie.... very nice!

The 51 acres I bought in NH cost me $110,000 that was 4 years ago.

I have a .22 caliber pellet gun that will drop a woodchuck with one shot placed between the eye and the ear 30 yards and under every time. I've done that prairie dog thing -- What a good time -- I was in montana using .243 win -- If you miss they will just stand there. If you have a spotter you can walk your long range shots right in. A lot of times, when you explode one, others will come to eat the remains --- More targets. I've burned hundreds of rounds in 2 trips out to montana on these reactive targets.

That was us. I'm guessing you had the GSG...

How come I see no mention of Red Wings? These have been the best boot I've ever worn for the past 15 years - 7 days a week for 10 to 12 hours a day - I get about 2 years per pair out of them. I'm on a construction site 4 out of 7 days a week. I wear model 2414 -- Water proof the full height of the boot -- Uninsulated but they do have the same boot insulated I just prefer uninsulated -- I rarely get cold feet -- Protection from Nail penetration thru the sole -- toe protection -- the sole is more like a sneaker -- very comfortable If you've never tried them I would suggest a trip to your local red wind dealer before taking the drive to Hamburg. Now, I have to admit, I've never tried most of the boot mentioned here -- In the past 15 years I've had no reason to.

Thats it for me --- No more. I will never just be a spectator at one of these again. Next time we shoot!!! Myself and my 12 year old will participate in the next steel shoot -- see you there.

My property is 45-50 minutes northeast of Keene. In a town called Warner. I'm 10 minutes or so from the southern end of Lake Sunapee. Last season I was so busy in the snowy winter here that I never made it up there. I heard there was about 10-12 feet of snow on the ground at my place. Embrace the snow I'm not scared. NH has No state income tax either. For us it's the location we think we want. I'll never really know till I commit 100%. NH over VT simply for my wife. NH has a coast -- It's small, only like 15 miles of oceanfront, but it's beaches nonetheless. I also have family in southern NH. There's just a feel when we get there -- That live free or die attitude does show... Mostly. As for work -- I'll figure it out. My land is paid for. We're certainly not rolling in $$$ but when we leave here we should go with enough cash to build and survive for awhile. I'll make money. Our area is certainly not desolate. I've never been unemployed and I just don't see it happening once I'm there. How much do you really need with no mortgage and reasonable property taxes?

I was planning on going regardless of the sign off. If I can get one while I'm there I might as well. I was also planning on shooting skeet on Sunday morning but you guys got me wondering if they'll have it. Supposed to be the 1st and 3rd sundays I believe but from what your saying the ranges may be booked. I'll have to check and see if the calendar is posted yet.

I have to agree with NH. I try to spend all my free time there. I've already got my little piece of the state bought and paid for -- No house just land --- 51 acres -- $113 per year property taxes. With a reasonable house it should go to mid $4,000s. I much prefer the cold, dry, crisp air to the hot and humid.

I'm going to go and watch and get a sign off while I'm there. My 12 year old son really wants to go see the "pros' in action. I'll be there for most of the day saturday hopefully.

Thanks for the link -- Thats perfect!

It's 1/2" thick mild steel. I'm sure it's not that ar600 stuff. I will pay attention to the surface -- maybe only make 2 to see what's going to happen. Thanks for the warning. Really only planning to shoot it with .22 rimfire - .38 specials with wadcutters and 125 grn flat points - and 45 acp lead flat points - 200 grn. I can stay away from the hardball. Will the 45s be too much for the steel?
