Why would they ask for your NJ FID card in PA?

RTSP is great for that, had a little party for a friend there recently. I would suggest using the digital simulator room as well, my friends had a blast with that (pun intended).

$25 for 325 rounds, not great but not too bad either

Shoulda woulda coulda, all in the past now. Plus I did buy two of the bricks There was lots of ammo there, as you can see

I went this morning, got there about 8:50 and was dismayed to learn that for this special they opened at 8am not 9am like on the web. It was crazy with lines for guns and lines for ammo. As someone said they had deli style tickets for guns. I got number 80 I was talking to a guy who got there at 7:30 and he told me there were 50 people waiting to get inside in front of him. As I was talking a nice guy who just went to get ammo handed me the ticket he got when he first got in, that was number 34 - yea!!! It seems people grabbed tickets for ammo, but they were not needed. So I was right behind the guy who got there at 7:30. I waited about 20 minutes and my number was called. I got an M&P15-22 which came with a second mag and 300 rounds of ammo. Their control system is very good for normal days, but was a total cluster F for this event. Once you picked the gun they filled out a paper with info for nics (not the actual nics papers). You then got on a long ass line to pay your $15 nics fee. Then you took that back to the gun counter where they filled out your actual invoice and had you complete the nics paperwork. I figured great I would be out quickly. False! He wrote it all up and told me to take the papers to the register and pay and they would put my gun on lay-away till the nics came back. I basically said are you F'ing kidding me, I'm not coming back another day. He said they overloaded the state police and nics were taking about 90 minutes. I had a bunch of time already invested, so I paid and waited. I got my nics and left with my gun three minutes after the guy that got there at 7:30 got his. Not sure if the roughly $150 bucks total I saved was worth my time. The biggest screw up with their system was that I am sure most people only bought the discount stuff and did not do any additional purchases as who would want to wait in line again to buy anything else. If they do this again they need to have a better system.

100% no game today. Wish there was a raincheck

I remember growing tomatoes but it has been a long time. My dogs and the deer would always get them before I did. I miss the cherry tomatoes

I saw it Russell, I was very impressed even though one shot went over the berm and one went into the ground about four feet in front of you

Even with having people check scores thing can go south. I was at one match where I checked my score on the tablet after shooting and all was well. Later in the stage I asked to check it and I was listed that I had not yet shot. Things happen. The only thing I can think of is the way they do Glock matches with handwritten and Carbon copies where the RO and shooter both verify and sign and each keeps a paper copy. But it would take a long time and a lot of work to see scores. As for timing of a match I understand what everyone is saying. Living in western Morris county I was just saying that for me to get there at 7:30 and then not start much earlier would entail a 12 hour day door to door. Except for this Sunday where I could barely walk I am always out taping like crazy except when I might be reloading.

I would sit down with the mayor and explain this is unacceptable and illegal, and explain how you don't want to sue your town but have been advised by council that you should.

I was just going to ask you if I was looking in the wrong place for them Adam.

Well if someone who Slays Deer says they are from a Deer then I will go with that!

So now you are calling me a mental case I do understand this conceptually

No, I need to shoot faster, but I understand what you mean. I too often find I go bang........wait for it..........wait for it.......bang, rather than bang bang! I know I should not do that, but knowledge and actions can be different. I need to find the right mix between speed an accuracy. When I try to shoot faster I just seem to forget about those sights that I paid for and my points suffer. Not sure how to go about finding that optimum mix.

Wow they could have done it three times and beaten me

I feel your pain - that is always my problem too. It was even more of a problem Sunday since I could not even run. On most stages my points were good but my times went by the calendar rather than by the clock But then there was that darn Texas star. I had no problem with any of the steel the entire match, yet I just cannot hit that freaking star. I think I went through a mag and a half to clear all five. I think next time I just need to aim where the plates aren't - that way maybe they will be there when the bullet arrives

YES, IF! The IF is that I would if there is a commitment to start earlier - like first shot at 9am. I have a long drive so no I don't want to get there at 7:30 to start at 10:45.

If it started earlier it would finish earlier. Just sayin.

I agree , but to move fast on one stage won't harm thing and if it Prevents others from waiting it makes the entire day better

Guess I was lucky, as we started in pit 1 so when we got to 3 we only had to wait for one last person to shoot. Perhaps the solution is to announce to people to minimize chit-chat and try to move things along as fast as possible in pit 3. That also includes things like using a piece of paper and pencil to write scores down if a Nook acts up and then enter it later. I must have been the cause of the backup since on my bad ankle I could only shoot and walk not shoot and run - and running is the best part of my game too

Yummy fish. Thanks!

Darn it, the local Bagel place is closed, guess I'll have to wait for morning. Perhaps you can post some of those Lox pictures to tide me over.

It was a fun day, even if the fastest I could move was a mid-speed walk on my sprained ankle. I also learned that bullets can go at least 45 yards. I had never experienced shooting over 35 yards until today.

Lox? Like in Nova? What is wrong with that????

Thanks! You can't take real pictures with fake cameras - not even I can do that. Was at the lake the other night and my wife's hair was lit up really nice by the back lit sun so I got my iPhone out to take a picture. I knew I needed flash to light her face, but the iPhone would not cooperate. This is the "best" it would do for me! Would have been a great picture with a camera that let me make decisions: Seems the consensus is my dog went deer hunting --- thanks.
