USPSA 1/18/15 @ RTSP registration open
Some, but not much. I'd put it pretty much about the same level as drawing breath and being able to manipulate your fingers in a peeling and sticking motion. it helps if they can differentiate between what is an actual hole verses a flat paper surface, but with some training, I think that can be taught.

Dillon 650 Case Feed Tube Question
See Ted... Noob. : )

January 3-Gun, Old Bridge
Very sage advice. I blew one stage last year trying to hit clay birds with the AR when I should have just engaged the targets with the requisite number of shots and then went to the knock down steel. Instead, I timed out, zero'd the stage, didn't hit a damn clay bird, and missed all the fun of the knockdown steel. Lesson learned.

Dillon 650 Case Feed Tube Question
He's loading 10mm. I think the parts are color coded for the specific caliber. Mine (9mm) are green. Or, you got the special Barney the Dinosaur collectors edition. "I love you...you love me...."

Where to go for a weekend
Just booked a hotel for Presidents Day weekend in Mytrle Beach. Kid is playing in a tournament down there. Flights from AC we $200 bucks. Not too bad. We're gonna drive anyway. Is it warm in SC in the middle of February?

Dillon 650 Case Feed Tube Question
Are you decapping first? I've also had issues with brass that hasn't been decapped properly hanging up and ruining my flow.

Dillon 650 Case Feed Tube Question
I've had more hiccups like that with my 650 than I care to discuss. I actually trimmed the lip on the plastic insert on mine after something similar. Make sure the ram is set at the proper depth, and make sure not to over tighten the helicoil (sp?) nut on it so as not to strip it. Sure, Dillon will replace it if you do...but still.

What was your least favorite gun purchase?
It is. I had the same problem. It's a grip issue.

Hello from Wall Twp
Welcome. Tim at L&H is one of my favorite people in the whole world. As far as ranges go all of my investigations brought me to CJRPC in Jackson. The initial buy in is a touch expensive, but it's an investment.

What was your least favorite gun purchase?
Wow...really surprised at how many people regret their 92FS. Mine would have to be the Sig 522 rifle. Thought I would love shooting it and it turned out to be very underwhelming. This may be in part to the difficulties in obtaining a steady reasonably priced supply of 22 ammo. In hindsight I wish I had used the money to buy a center fire AR instead.

Good sign of things getting back to normal?
None of the powders I use and 22's still limited to 1 box. meh. I work in NY and ship to my office. So bizarre that they will ship to NY and not NJ.

Good sign of things getting back to normal?
Pretty much how I feel. Powder and 22.

3-Gun @ Old BridgeDecember 28th
And a dog. Problem is that we aren't a "dog family" if you know what I mean. What I need to do is find a new best friend that has a dog. lol I was kidding a friend of mine who's got one. I invited him to join us, but what we really wanted was his dog. lol

3-Gun @ Old BridgeDecember 28th
Didn't flush anything, but did see one on the road in the woods. I think it was taunting us. lol We've been out 4 times this season. The first time I flushed and shot one bird but we couldn't find it. Second time we flushed 3 birds; 2 at once and then Andrew flushed one in another field. I shot the trail bird in my double as the lead bird wasn't a good shot, and Andrew missed the bird he flushed. Funny story with that one. He was shooting my fathers old Sabala Spanish Side by and forgot that the he had to switch triggers for the second barrel to fire. He was making fun at himself for being a spaz "Why no boom?" The last two trips we haven't flushed anything but have seen birds on the road and stuff. It's been an enjoyable albeit physically demanding endeavor. Come home with sore muscles and legs and hands cutup from pricker bushed. We need better pants or chaps.

3-Gun @ Old BridgeDecember 28th
I spent yesterday afternoon in the fields pheasant hunting with my son. While I was very eager to shoot this match (lots of preparation involved) If I'm to be honest I didn't mind sleeping a little late this morning and enjoying a leisurely breakfast. I wore my pedometer and clocked 2.25 miles in the field. For anyone who's done it, it's hard work...kinda like high stepping through the undergrowth and crap. Muscles = sore.

If you've ever shot USPSA in the rain you know it sucks. 3 gun USPSA in the rain must equal 3 times the suck.

Question on finances, 401k stocks or whatever
If your employer does not offer a retirement plan than you need to establish one on your own. Start researching IRA's and come to an understanding of the difference between a traditional IRA that allows you to save money pre-tax and Roth IRA that allows you to save money post-tax. Each has its pros and cons. For your first step focus on the vehicle (Traditional v. Roth IRA) and once you have a solid understanding of which might work best for you then and only then should you start considering the actual investments to hold inside the vehicle.

NJ Gun laws work as intended
But you HAVE an FID. The guy in the OP's situation doesn't have an FID. Therein lies the difference, no?
