Well, just call it $20 each, without Zardoz that's $300. $150 winner, $100 2nd place, $50 3rd place, if Zardoz takes any of those places he gets skipped, no hard feelings, no worries? If you don't have a paypal, make one and we'll all send you the $20 to hold until season's up. I trust you. MC

I'm cool up to $20 or 2 boxes of 9mm, but better decide before tonight. I'm up by about 16 pts, and my opponent has Roddy White. If Atlanta has a big game I'm going down 0-2 MC

The family renewal price seems disproportionately rated to the first year price, compared to the single renewal and single first year. MC

Is it fun shooting in the butt-ass cold of winter, or does it suck? That's the thing I'm trying to decide on before joining CR in October, or just continuing to go to public ranges until Spring. I mean it seems like it might be cool to dress up in warm fleecy cammo stuff, but I bet it's hard to load magazines and pull the trigger after a couple go arounds on a freezing February day, no? MC

I'll be there this morning too, probably around 10:30am, sharing a port with my brother. If you see 2 guys that look a lot alike shooting an M&P 9, I'm the older one. MC

The Glen Rock PD actually train at the Fair Lawn range, so we don't have one. Ridgewood has a Rifle Club. I think they have a range but it's rifles only. Waldwick is Waldwick residents only. MC

I was in when it was ammo, so it's no different if it's cash so long as we don't get carried away... MC

They currently have ATK Independence 9mm 115gr for $9.99/box, free shipping for 6 or more boxes. I just ordered some, and thanks to this, responded to the order confirmation right away with a copy of my FID. Deal is here: http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/review/product/list/id/8798/category/411/ MC

So this was my first time, and I'd go back. It's interesting, they seem like they're prepared to be mean and rude, and then as soon as you say something interesting about a gun, they're all smiles and happy to chat. I talked to the guy about how I wanted to get an M&P 15-22 next and he told me he has one and all about how he likes it, but that he doesn't have it in stock, so maybe next time. It wasn't busy, but it wasn't empty. They're pretty firm with the rules, domestic ammo, no uncased firearms off the line, but I'm ok with all that. I was going to take a picture of my friend with my phone and the range officer stopped me. It does say no picture taking. Ok fine. I get what people are saying it's pretty cramped in the store, with guns stacked 3-deep on display, and then boxes of stuff (ammo and accessories I'm guessing) in front of all the counters, and all over the range area behind the line. So long as they don't mind me putting my backpack full of paper targets and my gun case down on their boxes of whatever it was, it doesn't bother me. They probably should get a warehouse or some storage space... Now I will give you this, RTSP is a lot cleaner, and it's brighter out in the store front, and the kids that work there are all smiles and I'm happy when I shoot there, but Bullet Hole is $5/hr cheaper, 30 minutes closer, and in the range the lighting is brighter and the ventilation is better or at least it seemed much cooler inside. The weather could also have had something to do with that. I'm not voting one range off an island and keeping the other, I already have plans to meet my brother at RTSP Saturday morning after member's hours. I'm just saying my Bullet Hole experience went fine. BTW, if I was voting one off an island the deciding factor would be range officers, and RTSP wins hands down. I didn't have any issues with the range officer at BH, but the guy at RTSP goes over and above... Anyway, everybody loves RTSP, me included. Some people like Bullet Hole, some people hate it. I thought it was fine and I'd go back. MC [Added after I posted] I did forget to mention that with the target hangers at BH, unless I missed something, there's really no way to know the distance you're shooting. I didn't see markings on the floor or walls, and to send the paper out and back in was just a switch that said Forward on one side and Back on the other. They should at least paint some markings on the floor. It wasn't a big deal. The farther away I put my target, the less accurate I was. Surprise surprise

How much is the 9mm 100 round pack at Dicks this week? The circular just has a range of prices for WWB. I shot 200 rounds of it from the Walmart in suffern without a single failure. I'm going to Bullet Hole tomorrow and they don't allow S&B which is what I've been stashing, so I guess I'll go by Dicks and pick up a couple of boxes of wwb. MC

I'll be going for the first time tomorrow afternoon around 1:30. Hopefully it won't be too crowded. Just wanted to check a few things with you guys. First, their website appears to be down. They didn't all of a sudden close did they? Also, do they have a lot of paperwork to fill out before you go? I filled out RTSP's in advance, but with Bullethole's website down I dunno... Lastly, I'm bringing a friend from NYS. He will not be bringing a gun. I will be bringing my gun, my FID. He can share my lane and shoot my gun right? Somebody was telling me yesterday, and I'm not sure this can be right, but the other way around, if I go to NYS and meet a friend at a range I am not permitted to shoot their gun according to NYS law? Anyway just want to make sure me, my gun, my ammo and my friend can share a lane and shoot. Thanks! MC

Just got an email from Hawthorne, they only take Hawthorne residents. Very frustrating. MC

I was really surprised, I just noticed this thread and expected everyone to use ballistol and it's only mentioned once. I clean my M&P using hickock45's method, so a little isopropyl alcohol to get the gunk off, and then ballistol as the cleaner and lube. The more I clean the gun with ballistol, the less dirty it is next time because it leaves things with a sort of teflon coating (it doesn't actually have teflon in it). MC

Does anybody know anybody at Fair Lawn Pistol & Rifle? I live in Glen Rock, I can practically see the range from my house. I know the Fair Lawn PD use that range, and recently the Glen Rock PD have reached an arrangement to train there as well. It is otherwise a closed membership and it does say Fair Lawn Residents only, but I can throw a rock from where I live to where that range is. There's no phone number or website, just the email address on the where to shoot listing, and I've emailed several times with NO response. I want to give them my money and be able to shoot my 9mm there but I can't seem to get a response. Thanks! MC

Does your M&P full size holster hold the M&P 9L/Pro? Thanks! MC

NJSigfan, you got lucky on your 2nd rnd take of Jones-Drew. That should work out nicely. I really though he was going to sit out longer. Ricky Bobby, you and your sons, Walker and Texas Ranger are going down week 1! MC

I appreciate when people are making video reviews when they use them, but other than that I'm not sure I could even follow it from my gun to the target (or general vicinity around the target that I'm more likely to hit). MC

You can't ride with a loaded gun in the back of your pants like they do on Sons of Anarchy? MC

Neither. No paint. In fact the whole thing is quite uniform in color, both casing and bullet. MC

Mine came today. I didn't notice a trial of deoderant, however there was white stuff on my ammo can. Also I didn't get the police boxes, I got the standard red & green S&B. Dunno if there's a difference. Here's a pic... MC

Actually if you get on a lane between 6:30 and 7, they usually let you go over the hour as it approaches 8pm. It's not like I tried to do that on purpose, I tried to get a lane at 6 so I would be done at 7, but there was about a 20 minute wait, so I got on almost 6:30, and they let us stay until closing. MC

If I have a babysitter, my wife and I will likely be there after 6pm (it's date night). We're relatively new shooters so we wouldn't be much help beyond how to navigate RTSP and operate the lane. For some reason, I really don't like being in a lane next to somebody shooting 357 mag. I find the concussion and sound from a 357 mag revolver startling from one lane over. I can literally feel it go through my chest, and since I'm trying so hard to focus on my breathing, aiming, right amount of finger on trigger shooting my 9mm, I find it distracting. I bet they are fun if you are the shooter, just something about it from 1 lane away, even outdoors, like at Cherry Ridge. Anyway if you're there after 6 and you see a bald guy with a short wife shooting an M&P 9L, that's us so say hi! MC

OK we talked and I'm going to take over his team if thaw OK with you guys. I can make the draft tonight. Krdshrk, he's going to send you my email, you can drop his team and send me the invite, I'll get set today. Looking forward to whipping you guys. We should get njgunforums sponsors to donate prizes! MC

If its not too late and there's an open slot count me in! MC

Welcome! I'm in Glen Rock. Always looking for local people to shoot with. Good luck on your fid processing! MC
