IDPA / USPSA - how do I get better ???
I dryfire many times a week. Usually for five to ten minutes at a time. Some days i will do that five or six times a day. Dryfiring improved my draw speed and mechanics. It improved my target acquisition speed. I get to pull the trigger and watch the sights, then get them right back on target for the second shot. It helped me transition from one target to the next much faster. And reloads, my reloads are super fast now. How many times a week and for how long are you dryfiring now?

How well should you know someone before giving them a reference
I would never be a referral for anyone I have not been out drinking with. that's a great way to really see their personality. But more seriously, if I would not trust them to be around my kids, I would never vouch for them. And it takes a lot for me to trust someone to be around my kids. The other side of the referral question is also valid. because no sane person would ever ask someone to be a referral for them unless they knew that person would speak highly of them. I guess that is where the crazy people have a disconnect, because they THINK that person will speak highly of them when the conversation with the investigator will be anything but. So maybe the referral process is actually the first step to the mental health checks?

Trenton still holding my P2P?
spoke to Trenton, they are still holding it there. It should be sent out in a few days. I will tell you, I have nothing but respect for the Troopers of this state. I am friends with quite a few of them. I also understand it takes significantly longer than the "less than 30 days" this process is supposed to take. I just don't understand why the wait is not the same across the whole state? My friend in south jersey applied for a P2P last month and received it back in 31 days. How come his did not sit in Trenton for more than a month? I know its not because of any issues on my end, I have never been arrested or had any kind of problems to run afoul of the law. I have not even had a ticket in more than two decades. I have never had any type of mental issue, unless staying in New Jersey for a few decades has now been diagnosed as a mental disorder???

Trenton still holding my P2P?
I dropped my P2P apps off months ago at the local trooper barracks. I called to check the status and was told my paperwork was sent to Trenton more than a month ago. Really? It takes them that long in Trenton? How is that possible if some towns are doing less than 30 days turn around on these? Does anyone know how long it takes Trenton to process these?

A new level of suckness....a lesson for all.
Glad you didn't get hurt. It's probably not as accurate anymore? Maybe you can use it for really close targets now?

Home Brewers
I am trying to find some spare time to brew up another IPA. Got a few other brews I need to do right behind that one. I make my own wine, got quite a few full carboys in various stages of fermenting. Got some mead going. And I even have 3 gallons of carrot wine fermenting because I told my wife you can make wine from almost anything, and she was cutting up carrots at the time, so she said "how about these?" while holding a carrot. Not being the kind of person to accept defeat on a challenge, I made some. I racked it about a month ago and tasted it, not too shabby. I expect it to get much better with age. And if it does not get better, I will tell the wife "its not ready yet" if she ever asks me.

Bloomberg proposes Maginot Line around lower Manhattan
Instead of spending 20 billion on this project, why doens't he just build the wall with all the "over 16 ounce cups" that can no longer be sold filled with soda because he made that illegal?

Hello from NW New Jersey
Just found this site and enjoy reading it. Getting back into shooting, been away from it for a while, until a friend introduced me to uspsa shooting. Way more fun than going to a range! He is going to cost me a lot of money. I have shot in some uspsa comps and did very well. Very well for me, as I came into it just to learn and have fun, then was surprised where i place each time. Shot at shongum. Looking forward to shooting at Old Bridge in at the next comp. Shot in Production, way fun! Now I realized I need more guns, so waiting paitently on permits.... Nice to be here.
