Hops

Amazon rules!

So a couple of hours before the match starts is not early enough? Haha. I will find you at the next old bridge match, introduce my self, and maybe you can find somewhere I can be of help. I truly appreciate all the work everyone does. I just like to pitch in and help too. Thanks to all of you. Its a great sport, great bunch of guys, I appreciate being a part of it.

Dont have trouble believing it. It happened to me on more than one stage that day. Maybe I asked the wrong people? Next time I will find and ask you. I am always more than willing to lend a hand.

If I was living in Roselle Park I would stockpile guns too. But also would have a month or two worth of food too. Over in Newton, ( Newtonian?) the deer are everywhere. Bears can be eaten too. But I agree, SHTF and the wildlife will be hunted away quickly. So you need to stockpile food too. And guns. And plenty of ammo. My opinion, and I could be wrong, is in a real, extended SHTF scenario, things in the city and close suburbs would get bad quickly. NYC, Newark, Linden, etc would have hungry people looking for food. And they would head west. Towards Newton, and PA. Those living on the way west will need to be prepared and organized. You will need to get through the initial first few months. It will be crazy. Think two days into Sandy when fights broke out at gas stations. Now multiply that by hundreds. It aint gonna be pretty. Organized, prepared, stockpiled communities will fare much better.

That is a good one, and I am sure you like it because it is revolver friendly.

Yes! It is nice having the scores posted before I even make it home! Thanks. I apprecite the work you all do.

Ok. On that note, should we walk through as a fresh set of eyes and mention things that might allow shooters to run the stage differently from the designers intent? I would not want to offend someone, but like I said I am there to help and really appreciate all the work that you guys put into setting everything up. Thank you for all that you guys do.

I walked through the pits that morning. And I kept asking how could I be of help? I was repeatedly told they did not need any help. I thought that was wierd because I got there early to lend a hand as I always hear comments that help is always needed. I did not hang around after being told no help was needed, I got out of their way.

That was brutal. Lets add a golf rule, let faster squads play through!

"A battle plan is only good until the first shot is fired" On the topic of the way the stage builder intended the stage to be shot, why didn't he add "last four targets need to be engaged while standing on the bridge." Or add a fault line. Or block it some other way? I thought great stage design is supposed to give you multiple ways to run every stage. Its not just about everyone shooting it the exact same way, its about getting creative in your shooting plans. Classifiers are rigid. Every other stage should bring out your creative, devious side. Shooting should be a thinking mans game.

Stage 1 looks so much easier the way you shoot it...

I was very anti-glock because they are ugly. But my oldest son liked them because he shot some matches with a friends glock. So I bought a glock 34 gen 4, added some fiber optic sights, messed around with the grips til I found one I liked, then decided to test drive this gun. It shot well enough that I decided to use it for a match. Turns out I must have gotten a good one because it shot almost all alphas all day long. Well mostly alphas, there were three charlies and a mike on a swinger. Thats not too bad. Luckily I never told my son I bought it for him to use at the matches. I don't think he needs to know.

I am in!

I have noticed it a lot more since this thread was started. Thanks for reminding me. Actually I can function pretty well with it, I just tune it out or focus on other things. It is bearable. I have heard of a few people that have it really bad. That has got to suck. I bet they have it bad, so it causes them to focus on it, which only makes it worse.

Have it and try not to focus on it or it reallly seems louder. I have noticed it gets worse with caffiene, sugar, or gluten foods. I cut out all of those for about five weeks to help get rid of a chronic inflammation joint pain issue. The pain went away and so did the ringing. Too bad i could not stay on that diet, cause the ringing came back.

Any time Vlad! It was my first time there and the match was great. I will be back again, and I will come early again to help out! Thanks.

Not mandatory and it says so on the form. Picked up a gun last week and did not use my ssn.

Where is all the two-ply toilet paper? When did single-ply become environmentally friendly and politically correct? I eat meat. Where is my damn two-ply???

Dont worry about your skill level, everyone starts out as a beginner. I never really see any competition against shooters, most shoot against themselves. Lots of friendly people, most more than willing to talk or offer pointers. Just go, have fun, and make sure you are taping/ resetting after every shooter. Stay busy and you will make friends quickly.

Sorry, didnt notice if they had lpp.

Sign says 2k, but girls at register ring up whatever you bring them.

Stopped by Cabelas today. While they had no powder, they had their CCI small pistol primers marked down to $29.99. The shelves were full. There was also a decent amount of boxed ammo. Nice to see things are getting stocked again. just hope powder starts to show up before i run out.

I called after months of waiting and was told its in trenton. I called trenton and was told its been approved but is on hold. I asked if there was a problem and he said "no, we hold all of them, its part of the process." They held it for a month. I have no idea why it takes me 4 months when others get it back much quicker, or much later. It does not seem right. I would move out of this state but then I would need to learn how to pump gas, and I don't want to do that.

A good teacher can make all the difference in the world.

Well fast for me, not fast like yours. But i am improving quickly.
