2 broken legs! Good Lord. That must have been some stage.

What is the local PD's role in this process. Assuming you've already got the permits in and NJSP issues the exemption. How does the town/local PD get involved?

Solo for time. The two I've shot were over well before noon. It's silly fun. I'm shooting in a special trap match that day and will miss it. Go, you will have fun.

Its my understanding that all targets must be 8 or 10 feet from the rear berm in all pits and all shots must go to the rear berm whether it be in the pits (all purpose ranges) or on the 300, 200 or 50 foot pistol. Rules change for sanctioned events and shots can go into side berms but they still don't want shots into the ground. I don't believe that the events have to be at the club. An email to the President would clarify that and I'd suggest you do so. I believe that I qualified with 2 events at CJ and one (indoor) at Old Bridge.

You qualify to draw from a holster after 3 supervised events. Old Bridge may have an advantage if you can fire into the side berms or into the ground (lay down targets) asssuming you have them and want to set them up. All of these rules apply only for individual practice. The rules change for sanctioned and supervised events like the monthly USPSA shoots. Old Bridge also has an advantage in that they don't restrict, at least not that I'm aware, guests from drawing from the holster. Old Bridge has some very nice things about the club. So does CJ.

Do you have a holster and magazine pouches? You don't need a Special Use Badge to wear a holster and use with an unloaded gun. I'd recommend that while practicing, unless you planned to stash the gun in the pocket of your hoodie. : ) You can practice drawing (unloaded) and magazine changes all day long. Hell...I do it at home in my bedroom. lol I'd also practice reloads both on slide lock and with retention. You can drop an emply magazine but will get penalties for dropping a loaded magazine in IDPA. It's different than USPSA. I got crazy penalties the one and only time I shot it. Ask Pizza Bob. Twas a sight. lol

They had IDPA but the match director stopped running them, I assume due to lack of interest. They also had events at Old Bridge that ceased for that very reason and someone recently stepped up to run them and so they are going again. I may go on Saturday to practice and if so I'll pm you. FYI...members only steel on Sunday.

I don't own any actual barricades or fences or anything like that but I have set up multiple targets and classifier stages to shoot. El Prez is one of my favorites. Keep in mind that all rounds must impact the rear berm and all targets need to be setup within 8 feet of the berm, so basically no side targets or shots into the ground or into the side berms. You can fashion a decent barricade out of a tarp and staple that to a target stand. Cut a hole in it and you've got a port. We'll set up 5 targets and run very mini/basic stages. You can also kneel behind a table to simulate cover. There are plenty of drills you can practice that will help you in IDPA/USPSA without setting up stages. Tap/Rack/Bang and slide lock reloads are 2 off the top of my head. Have tried shooting while advancing?

Holy hsit that was fun. I'd be up to do it again.

I've got 10 boxes of # 8 shot and 30 slugs. Actually...35. I found 5 in my safe from the box of mix and match stuff from my father.

I started my journey into pistol ownership at Shore Shot. Me and my son, then 14, walked into the place. Total noobs, and I told the guy so. He collected my credit card and drivers license and handed over a gun and some ammo and a target, reminded us to get eyes and pointed to the door as he said "Have Fun." That was it. I shot there one other time and have never been back. I didn't feel safe there.

I have 2 boxes of slugs and plenty of 8 shot. Come. Even if you just shoot pistol. Dust off the Beretta. I have a holster for it if you need. It's going to be too nice a day to miss.

Had plenty of 8 shot on hand but picked up a case and 2 boxes of slugs, put my short barrel on the 1100 and took out the plug. Someone please tape me tomorrow and then dub the video with the Benny Hill theme music. It's going to be quite a scene.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the place but hate to see this happening. I feel bad for them.

Can I shoot rifled slugs from a smooth bore barrel? I'm shooting Rem 1100. Don't have anything really for 2 gun.

So 4 boxes of bird shot and some slugs. 5 slugs enough? Slugs mandatory? Need to know because Ima hafta buy me some if they are necessary. Can I shoot slugs out of a smove bore shot gun barrel?

In all seriousness, write letters, send emails. Respond just the same way we respond when the Government tries to restrict our rights. I know CCW in NJ doesn't affect Panera stores, but so what. They are still seemingly siding with the Million Moms and their histrionics. We need to let them know that isn't acceptable.

Not the IRS but rather the NJ Dept of Taxation. That aside, I'm sure they can find someone to complete a NICS check if one is necessary to return the mans property. All they have to do is call the State Police.

What I don't understand is under what authority are they holding your property, in this case a firearm. I realize we aren't talking about normally thinking people, but it would seem to me, all things being equal, that they have confiscated your property and by all rights you should be offered the opportunity, today, to go claim it. No?

^ I agree. In the meantime, while I feel bad for the woman, her plight actually helps us. The comparison and different treatment is delicious. Woman beater Ray Rice gets off with a slap and this woman, a mother, who's only crime was being in possession of a gun and scary bullets (legal to own and possess in her state) is being prosecuted to the fullest degree. The anti-gunners have to cringe when they see that. And they own it. Remind them of that. They own it. They wanted these laws and this is what happens.

Her record is clean enough that she was able to buy a handgun and get a conceal carry permit/license. I think the Prosecutor is just doing his job and doesn't want to come across as being soft on gun law violators.

State Police has a twitter page? And they pay someone to tweet on it? Oy.

Am I the only one who feels kinda creepy looking over all this stuff. It makes me feel like a scavenger picking over the bones of a carcass.

I'll second Pizza Bob's recommendation. It's a very well run match and a perfect opportunity for beginners. And the pizza was pretty good too.

Look at Jim Norman making a funny on the interweb.
