As long as it's not raining heavily when I head out... Looking forward to seeing you before 11:00...

+1Guys be careful when driving in the rain.

Praying not to be tied to work that day...

In with GF as long as there's no more hurricane...

Impressive that a lady would notice your trigger finger.

Tried to get some gas this morning, and ended up getting 2 gallon, just enough to make it back to garage. What a shame not to be able to get there. See you next month!

I would really like to participate but the gas shortage is causing so much inconvenience. I'm out for this time. It would be great if this could be organized next weekend.

Heck, I caught dozens of sea bass, but only two were of legal size. Maybe my lower hook was too small. Should have used largest hook on the lower.

Storm's coming. Went fishing on a charter yesterday and got a bit sea-sick. Crazy weather.

Dear RF: Please sign me up as five people. Me, my gf, two American friends, and my to-be father-in-law! All of us have shooting experience and know safety rules to some extent. I'll keep an eye on them my little group too. One of them is actually from Italian so I also look forward to the food he'll bring. I had thought the ammo I bought would be enough, but now it doesn't look so obvious. Next time I'll buy more...

Dumplings were a fact... RF definitely heard about it...

Report in: I'll probably bring 2 more friends, no gun, dozens of boxes of ammo, 8 boxes of clays. People at long island Dick's and Sports Authority were all quite nice, it's true that no special licence is required to buy most ammo there. Best price is in Dick's, 5.48 per box of 12 gauge. But I had already bought at the Sports Authority at 5.99 when I saw that(slightly different load though, what I bought was "game load" instead of "target load"). Also, Dick's has 20 gauge ammo for 5 bucks per box, but the shelf was empty. It's true that ammo price in Dick's cannot be beaten. I also found that the case I used to contain my bow is cheaper in Dick's. PLUS, I wish to put this out early: I'll most probably bring some dumplings as well as drink if I can make it. I would put them in a big white ice box so that it can keep warm. PLEASE DO OPEN THE BOX AND HELP YOURSELF! Another thought: Since quite a few folks are coming without a gun, with the kind offers from people who are willing to share their weapon, seems to me it would be good if we make some kind of arrangement about this. For example, put name tags on those guns that its owner would be willing to share, and if someone like me wishes to borrow a gun, he should call the name of the owner, and verify that the owner is willing to let him or her do this. One more thought: RF, could you add this to the gun safety part: Give up on those clays that are flying sideways which require you to turn 45 degrees to the side, as your muzzle may be too close to people near you. (This is a clay-shooting-specific rule that I learnt by doing wrong last time, if you remember. Rookies like me just don't know about it.)

Could you give me a few names/addresses? I have really no idea.

Thanks for that tip.I actually called the union one directly and the guy who finally picked up first said "fid needed", and then someone next to him corrected him saying "no, just driver's licence and over 18". I plan to call them again, ask for the name of the guy who said that, and use that as a reference. If I'm not successful, I will just head to the one you directed me.

It's on top of my shopping list this weekend.

What does it require to buy shotgun ammo in NY?

I think I can try the first one yet, and if it doesn't work out, turn to this easton one you mentioned. Thanks for the advice.

200+ I would suggest.

Congratulations on that!

My gf two other friends of mine (former Texas resident, shooters who are also long depressed by NYC) and I wish to participate if you guys don't mind lending us guns. Many thanks to RF and fishnut and other guys who are so tolerant to let us use their guns, ammo and clays. Hopefully I can get ammo and clays for myself this time so as not to trouble you guys on this issue.

Found one dick's around interstate 78, which is on the route between nyc to the shotgun range. Called and they told me I only have to be 18+ and present driver's licence to purchase SHOTGUN SHELLS. Cool! Bad news is they don't open until 10:00 am on Sundays. So I guess I no longer need to trouble you guys on ammo and clays now, just have to arrive a bit late. I'm also willing to help people who would attend the Nov. 4 event buy shotgun shells and clays on my way there.

As long as it's weekend it works good for me.

I'll get more stocked this weekend... LOLIf you don't mind cooking, I could even bring you some extra frozen ones.

Thanks to the update about the bow range man.

That is very kind again.I thought about asking you to get some ammo for me, but later realized it would be illegal for me to keep it with me. NYC is such a lousy place. Just have to again ask you guys to share ammo with me next time.
