  1. Doesn't always work. With very light loads, the round-to-round variation in bullet and brass weight can be more than the charge weight. Update: As the original poster had already discovered and posted as I was typing...
  2. Amazingly, I remembered. The web link for the show is up: http://www.jbmdlspecialevents.com And it includes a link to what you can and can't bring on base: http://www.jbmdlspecialevents.com/what-to-bring I'm looking forward to the show.
  3. Yep...Firmenich in Plainsboro, and International Flavors and Fragrances in Union Beach are worth a look. And I'd definitely start looking! Doesn't mean you have to burn any bridges, but definitely get the search started. The pharma industry, which used to be so huge in NJ, once hired a lot of biology majors--though the competition was fairly fierce for those ready to jump into a research job. Big pharma has shrunk tremendously, but start ups have picked up at least some of the slack. Try to find employment more honorable than writing research papers for other students...
  4. And if you got hit and hurt pretty badly, you'd want anyone who witnessed it to behave similarly?
  5. I believe citizens, riverdale , and somerset county (SCFGPA) all have junior rifle programs. Somerset also has a junior bullseye program.
  6. I've heard nothing but good things about the National Outdoor Leadership School first aid programs--from basic first aid right through EMT. They're not held in this part of the country too often; on the other hand, most of the locations they do use are great vacation destinations. https://www.nols.edu/portal/wmi/courses/
  7. Made after 1990? That was reunification year.
  8. Anywhere in Camden? But the range safety standards are pretty low.
  9. What actually happens to the money? 'Deposit' implies you get it back at some point, which is a little less annoying. I agree, if it's really a fee they are charging, it sucks. Could you leave it in her name but set it up for online bill pay (to make sure you always see the bills?). JCPL won't care who actually makes the payment, as long as they get paid. Downside is those payments, if made on time , will help her credit rating, not yours.
  10. Graft and corruption accounts for a lot of it. NJ also has an unusually high percentage of residents on the payroll as state or municipal government employees. My parents recently sold a 140 acre farm with three houses on it, in Idaho. Their property taxes on the whole thing were about 5% of what I pay on a 3 BR house on an acre in Morris county.
  11. I'm considering this as well, but have been puzzling over the descriptions. On their competition holster page, they offer a Revolution Combo Pack, and an IDPA Competition Shooters pack. Both include a holster and a mag pouch. Both say they are IDPA legal. The Revolution Combo is $30 cheaper. Both combo packs seem to include the same mag pouch, though they don't explicitly say so. The Revolution combo pack includes a training barrel...not sure how useful that would ever be to me. But I can't compare the holsters. The Revolution holster is available separately, it can be converted from belt to paddle, can accommodate a wide variety of belt widths, and has adjustable cant and tension. It seems like a good overall choice. The Competition Shooters Pack holster has no description whatsoever, though in the photo it's different than the Revolution. It doesn't have a name. I can't tell if it's available separately or not. I can't tell if it's more or less adjustable, configurable, or concealable than the Revolution. I don't know why it's $30 more expensive. Can anyone tell me what the differences are between these holsters? If not, I'll reach out to the manufacturer. If anyone is on the fence, like me, and the sale price expires at Blade-Tech, don't despair. Optics Planet has similar or slightly better pricing.
  12. As reported where? I want to see what states are on the other end of the list!
  13. Always start a new shooter with a .22 rifle, regardless of what their long-term shooting interest might be. You can't beat it for teaching fundamentals of safety and marksmanship, and the shooter won't develop a flinch (which can be extraordinarily difficult to unlearn down the road).
  14. I think so…certainly the camera. Once the web page for the air show goes up, it has a list of what can and cannot be brought on base by attendees.
  15. I'm not a lawyer, so I'm guessing here even more than the lawyers would be...but this being NJ, I'd think you would certainly be charged. Whether or not you'd be convicted, I have no idea.
  16. I confess, I hadn't watched the video. I do shoot the Tenafly matches a few times a year, and we're generally (I thought always…) instructed to limit round count to 10 rounds in a mag.
  17. It's like a pro-am…without the traveling professionals showing up. The match director assigns par times to the stages. You do move from place to place to shoot, but being an indoor range, there is usually one stage set up on the left side of the range, and another one on the right side of the range. :-) One can only load 10 rounds in a mag.
  18. That doesn't address what percentage of raccoons have rabies. I've no idea what the percentage is (it can't be too high, or we wouldn't have an abundance of raccoons). It only means that those raccoons that are rabid are more effective than other species at passing on the virus. I'm surprised skunks are that high on the list--most folks go to great lengths to keep them out of biting range (while too many folks think raccoons are cute and cuddly and will try to get close to them). Bats must be included in the 1%. That's lower than I would have guessed.
  19. There is so much supplemental information in the manual that I think it is a very valuable resource. I wouldn't be without one (or two or three…) even though I also use online sources a fair bit.
  20. Good to know I need never make a trip down to check out Kislins. Effingers had 500 round bricks of Remington Std Velocity target for $45 yesterday, limit 1. They had a few dozen left. They also had CCI Mini Mags, didn't check the price on those.
  21. As long as the gun was originally made with no serial number, NJ is fine with it. (Ok, it will confuse and alarm some folks, and a few will insist it's not legal, but it is.)
  22. I didn't get an inspection when I bought my house, since the septic system had been put in less than a year before. Big mistake. The guy who put it in replaced three old cesspools with a modern septic system…but he failed to connect one of the bathrooms to the new system. That bathroom remained piped into the old cesspool, which was filled in. We moved in, and promptly had a sewage flood in the basement. The house had been vacant for months, since the time the new system was installed. The home inspector missed it, because with the pipe empty you could run water and flush the toilet a couple of times without causing a backup. We were out-of-pocket for some basement damage, for a bunch of diagnostic work to determine that the drain pipe for that bathroom did, in fact, end in dirt where the cesspool used to be, and for having the yard dug up to have that bathroom piped into the new septic system. The contractor who screwed up--Febbi and Son, in Boonton, NJ--offered perhaps the lamest excuse in the history of contracting: "No one told us to hook up all of the bathrooms". He refused to correct the problem or pay for the repairs. Since we didn't contract with him in the first place, we didn't have standing to file a legal claim, and Febbi dragged out the process until the owner who did contract with him had passed away. So, I most emphatically do NOT recommend Febbi and Son (aka Ron Febbi, aka Febbi Renato) for septic installation, repair, or inspection.
  23. If you don't have another computer available for testing, there are free apps for smart phones that can do the same thing. I'd been blaming my aging Mac for losing the signal frequently, but after downloading OpenSignal for IOS, I learned that it's my wireless router that is flakey. That's a much cheaper fix.
  24. I'll hunt around and see what I can find. I'll send you a PM once I know what I have. Thanks.
  25. Do they still sell/use those little white stickers for sign-in? It was their mechanism to collect a small door fee (to cover targets) when you used the range. I've still got a bunch of them somewhere--when I moved too far from the club to remain a member, I didn't have a chance to use them up.
