Not sure what you mean by close to NY at the tip of NJ. RTSP is in Randolph which is not far from Morristown in Morris County. If you are looking for something closer to you there is an IDPA match Sunday morning at Old Bridge Rifle and Pistol Club - I plan to do both matches that day.

Just a few slots are still open for this Sunday's match, registration closes 5pm on Thursday. Some great stages using both ranges, don't miss it! http://shootnscoreit.com/idpa/match/652/

Assuming a handgun you must ship it UPS or FedEX one-day air, even if it is going three miles across the state border. When they ship it back, they can ship it second day express - go figure. The only issue you will have is that if the repair requires a new receiver (i.e. - new serial number) you will require a new P2P and it will have to be shipped to an FFL here in New Jermany. You can have FedEx or UPS come to your house to pick it up if you have a label for it. Otherwise I was advised it (but who the heck knows for sure) that you can legally take it to FedEx or UPS as they are acting as an agent for the repair facility or manufacturer.

^^^^^^ LIKE!

Wow Adam is slacking off!

I am glad he did this for her as a person. But it might be better for all of us if he pardoned no one and let the public outcry force changes in our stupid laws.

Recessedfilter - Thanks. It's simple, aim the camera at the image you want to capture and slowly press the shutter button straight down Malsua - Thanks. I had no desire to get on it either. It's expensive and you are only up top for about 7 minutes. What I really liked was the 35-37 story Sky Garden at 20 Frenchchurch st - and it is free too! You need to make reservations online ahead of time, which is a problem as you never know what the weather will be. Unfortunately I could not get an open slot at night, and it was kind of grey and hazy when I was there. But here are a few shots: If you want to pay about $45 you can go to the top of the Shard, pictured below, which is the tallest building in Europe.

USPSA and IDPA to Merge1-Apr-15 – 00:01 by ToddG After more than a decade of rancorous and sometimes hostile co-existence, today the U.S. Practical Shooting Association and the International Defensive Pistol Association are announcing a joint restructuring that will merge the two organizations by the end of Summer 2015. The combined organization will be named the American Run & Gun Handgun Sport. The sport will utilize an easily recognized target that has the same overall size and shape of both the USPSA and IDPA target, using the lower scoring zones from IDPA and the upper A & B scoring zones of USPSA. Realizing that the two games had far more in common than most competitors wished to admit, their respective Boards of Directors have been meeting secretly since this year’s SHOT Show to bring a big tent, uniform approach to competitive action pistol sports. Rulebook proposals will be sent out by the end of June to current USPSA members for comment, and the final rulebook will be delivered to IDPA members in July so they can read it. ARGHS will start with four Divisions: Play; this division is intended for the majority of competitors who simply wish to enjoy a day of shooting in a competitive environment and will accommodate most common sport handguns. Operate; a division dedicated to low profile tactical operations from concealment and/or anyone named Timothy, Operate will require competitors to shoot from behind barricades rather than run past them and perform all reloads while crouching. Race; the Race division is specifically designed for handguns that no one would use for any reason other than an ARGHS match and/or someone who places a loaded magazine in a front pocket, will require all movement to be performed at a full sprint, and shooting from barricade positions must be performed while standing on one foot only. Revolve; the rules for this division have not been finalized at this time because Jerry Miculek hasn’t told us what they will be.The game’s classification system will be dependent on Division. For Play and Racedivisions, shooters will be given a chance to shoot the same stage as many times as they want until they get the score that gives them their best possible ranking. For Operate, competitors will be forced to shoot an extensive course of fire covering skills that primarily have nothing to do with ARGHS matches. And Revolve division entrants will all be ranked Novice except for Jerry Miculek, who will simply be ranked National Champion Again. Current USPSA and IDPA memberships will automatically become ARGHSmemberships on September 1st, 2015.

Would love to go, it's a really fun match - unfortunately the first Saturday of the month is a no go for me - Switch it back to the third Sat

Just about every shooting that takes place in NJ or NYC is effectively in a gun free zone!

I cannot believe with the amount I pay for all the stupid channels I could care about I would have to pay extra to get this one

Sign-up opens tonight at 7pm at: http://shootnscoreit.com/idpa/match/652/ Match is Sunday April 12th 6-10pm, four great stages using both ranges. Open to members and Non-members alike. Those that have never shot IDPA must take intro course Thursday evening before the match: http://rtsponline.com/introduction-to-idpa/

Bob, that was a good idea, unless you are there it is hard to understand how big this thing really is. Here is another one, which let's you see it is about the size of a 20 story building:

Here are the first few shots of my recent trip to the UK

^^^^ Yea, most likely that! Perhaps also a requirement of the insurance underwriter?? But I am sticking to my story that it also helps prevent Vampires from getting their hands on guns. We already know Zombies can be an issue, so I'm sure they don't want Vampires added to the mix.

No. It's only "closed" because it has not opened yet. We open registration at 7pm the second Monday before the match. So, it will open on Monday March 30th at 7pm - that way everyone has an equal shot at it. We limit it to 30 shooters, but there is the capability to add names on the wait list and a few spots usually open up as we get closer.

I have no absolute answer for that, but most likely a check to make sure no Vampires are allowed out on the range. If the camera does not capture your image then you are banned for likely being a Vampire

Yes open to non-members and members alike, just like for USPSA at RTSP. Can't promise about the taping. That might take a second class. I found I cut my weak hand of the sharp edge of the cardboard target as I was taping the other day - so I think to be 100% safe while taping takes more range practice than classroom instruction Here is the link that explains what the class will provide: http://rtsponline.com/introduction-to-idpa/

APRIL MATCH - Sunday 12th As many of you know, we have started to hold IDPA matches at RTSP. We held the first beta test match on March 1st. The massive snow, coupled with lots of new shooters made for a challenging event. Overall it went well although it ran rather late; and we have made some changes based on the test match. This will become a regular event that will normally take place in the evening the first Sunday of every month. We have moved the next match to April 12th, due to Easter falling on the 5th. Registration will be at shootnscoreit.com and will open at 7pm two Mondays before each match. The link for the next match can be found at: http://shootnscoreit.com/idpa/match/652/ Information on the stage description with pictures can be found at the above link as well. Based on our beta match we will be requiring any new IDPA shooters to take a mandatory training class before shooting their first match. That class will be held at RTSP Thursday evening before each match. It will be comprised of a roughly two hour classroom session followed by an hour on the range where participants will each get to shoot a sample stage covering most aspects of IDPA shooting. A copy of the new "new" rulebook which went into effect March 2nd may be found here: http://rtsponline.com/wp-content/uploads/x2gukat1wyt.pdf Feel free to ask question here or email me at [email protected]

Best of luck, I know how hard this can be and how expensive it gets. When Trent suddenly got ill about a little over a year ago it cost us over $3,000 in his last week. We nursed Kirby along when he had cancer for four full years, but the bills for that were over $10,000. They are a part of the family and my wishes are for the best.

I had my attic done by HomeDepot back when 0bamba was giving cash for everything. Think I got a $1,500 tax credit for doing it. I chatted quite a bit with the guy doing the work and he was telling me about all the scams going on where he would be sent out to do government jobs and they were supposed to put in lots of insulation and they put almost nothing. He made it up for me, as rather than filling my attic with a foot of blown in fiberglass he put in two feet or more of the stuff.

I was offered that in Randolph a while a back. We have a civilian employee that handles permits and she does a great job. As for renewals, you just go in and she stamps them with a signature stamp while you stand there. Maybe it's because we are a Republican town

Speaking of Bacon, I heard last night that the Egg association finally made a no brainer decision and hired a new spokesman. That person is Kevin Bacon, no kidding here.

Thanks for posting the heads up Bob. Glad it does not impact their new stuff, particularly the 147 grain.

I hear those come with free money too!
