It's like rhythmic gymastics with guns. Reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAWpN9I_gSY

I've had an impossible time challenging fraudulent charges with Discover; nothing like the experiences others are reporting here with Visa and MasterCard. My parents had a medic alert monitoring system from Connect America/Medical Alert (and this is also a warning to avoid doing business with them at all costs). When my parents abruptly had to move into assisted living and had the phone disconnected at the house, Connect America/Medical Alert didn't detect that the phone was dead--despite that being one of the conditions they say will trigger an alert. This went on for several months; they kept billing for monitoring, but never realized (or cared) that they weren't monitoring anything. The service was cancelled, the hardware was returned, I had a return receipt in-hand...and they kept billing. And Discover backed them, through a dozen calls and letters challenging the bills. Canceling the card was the only way to make it stop. And that was after proving that Connect America wasn't monitoring the system for at least 4 months (no phone line, no hardware). The nagging question in my mind is whether they were monitoring at any point in the years my parents were paying them.

Just called. No .22 there today.

Hmmmm. Merck?

A little of both. Striker fired polymer guns do great in speed events, but you don't see them in precision events, like bullseye or international center fire pistol.

I like the XDS a lot. Freakishly accurate, even in the 3.3". I was seeing 2.5" groups at 50', which is not sometheng you'd expect from a striker-fired polymer gun, especially a small one.

Did gun-free zones exist anywhere 50 years ago? The gun free school zones act is only 25 years old, and I can't think of an example older than that. Couple of towns in Illinois banned handguns in the '80's, but even they didn't go 'gun free'.

NJ had a Constitution??

That's a sobering thought... Fortunately, I think I passed 10K hours back when I was a serious smaller competitor, and match grade .22 was a lot cheaper, so I figure I did it for no more than $50K. Even with .22 being much more expensive now, you could probably do it for $100k-$150K. Trap or skeet would come in at around $150K, I estimate. Now, if you are trying to get to 10,000 hours in one of the speed events, that will get expensive quickly!

Can you elaborate?

I'm curious too. SAPPA expended a lot of words here beforehand, nothing but the sound of crickets since. Can anyone who was present comment on whether it was worthwhile?

"On your mark", "get set", "eyes and ears", "go!"

Guilty as charged. I opened it for editing before there were any replies, but yours got in before I saved the edit.

*excludes rimfire ammo. Which is a shame, because they actually have rimfire ammo.

Who makes that? I've been looking for a three gun (bullseye) box.

At the very least a public flogging, where every voter they represented was allowed to give them one whack. The bigger the trust you betray, the bigger the beat down you receive.

True. It is the middle finger that is at least implied in most NJ gun laws.

20,000 rounds in neatly stacked boxes + tablecloth sized to just reach the floor = attractive and functional end table.

If you can find a way to hide it, you've added another layer of security to that cabinet. A couple of homes ago I had a cheap gun cabinet bolted under the basement stairs, but I also had a plywood panel in front of it, looking like it was a permanent fixture-right down to the wire racks filled with pantry goods on the panel. But the whole thing just lifted out to expose the cabinet behind it.

Almost exclusively lead, but I'm not pushing them very fast in target loads, so leading isn't a concern. And I'm not worried about elemental lead being absorbed through my skin-I just wash my hands well when done, and don't eat or drink while loading.

Mythbusters does quite a few episodes that involve guns-you can check the program listings to see which episodes have a gun-related myth. I find them all pretty entertaining. Last night I caught a rerun in which they were trying to light a strike anywhere match with a .45 (confirmed, though it took a lot of fiddling with a 1911 in a Ransom rest before they managed to just graze the match), and also if ninjas could slap a bullet off its trajectory to avoid getting hit (busted, using a high speed robot arm and a 9 mm, and also with one of the cast members and a paintball gun)

Not the cheapest option, but to meet the video and homework requirements (assuming the school uses Apple products, which is so often the case), I'd recommend a Mac. You'll spend a lot less time supporting it (unless you are already very proficient with windows)

Both, of course.

Makes me think of the scene in Quigley Down Under where Tom Selleck waits out of sight for the bad guys milling about to align, then drills a couple of them with one shot from the big Sharps rifle
