The resolution passed, so it's up to the game council to initiate the early archery season as they see fit to. Always depends on the biology reports on the population, which they start to tally late February early March. We'll probably know for sure by late August. We now have a permanent bear season written into the game code, that no governor can stop for the bleeding hearts. So bear hunting in NJ is here to stay, just like deer season is. Every county except Hudson has a county chapter of the Federation. Their monthly meeting times and locations are listed on the state website. They're always welcoming to new attendees. Click on your county in this link for more info. I'm an officer in Sussex County. http://www.njsfsc.org/counties/

Shotgun/muzzeloader for bear has been open since 03, except one year. This October we will have an early week 6 day archery, the last 3 days will be archery/Muzzeloader. And they will have the regular December 6 day shotgun/muzzeloader firearm season as well. We in the Federation of Sportsmen’s clubs pushed hard for this. We also get to nominate 3 of our members to be appointed by the governor to the fish and game council. So that's kinda nice too. Without the federation hunting would have been banned by now in NJ. The anti groups pander to the liberals, we have to fight them every year.

Yep, and has to be soft point.

I know shitty answer. But that's what the council and the DEP decided. They're very hesitant to allow any rifle hunting, it's a miracle we got them to allow day hunting under .25cal. Centerfire

Because the game council says so. Is the short answer.

Just read this whole thread. Sorry for your loss Ty. And I'm really missing the online store. I'm patiently waiting for it to be back up to order some things. I'm loyal so I'll wait...

No fall bow 2014

Why would you torture yourself with a view of America on the other side of the river. Sitting in your living room looking across at the other side would drive me crazy, knowing everyone across the water was able to snuggle at night with their SBR's and suppression devices. While I'm looking at a safe full of rifles missing their bayonet lugs, non adjustable stocks, no flash hider, and reduced capacity mags... I don't think I could take it...

They're super fast, and skiddish. Their sense of smell is very good too. So wind and sent control are both factors. Kill em all!

I have the Milwaukee, it's been good so far.

Am I still a premier member? I don't remember paying in a long time... is there an annual renewal?

I use the 3M fire caulk in a tube for work all the time. (Plumbing) code requires us to seal all penetrations between floors.

Need I say more?

There was! I got some original!

This is where you bring your Firearms until your divorce is finalized. Not worth the risk not to. It's perfectly legit, they will be safe and sound until you're ready to go re claim them. Very well worth the money. https://firearmssupport.com

Stir & Shoot also has a woman's shooting league. Where they do a cooking class then shoot paper. It's a pretty cool concept. And the woman that runs the range I hear is a great lady. I'm pretty sure I heard it's somewhere near the college in Newton? Not sure exactly the location.

I know we're going to a warm place in March for vacation, I will check with "my boss" tonight what those dates are. If I'm going to be in country that weekend, I will sign up for the afternoon session with you Nick. Maybe we can get paired with two other hunters? 20 birds for that price is a pretty good deal. Plus it's a great cause in my opinion. I will donate something even if I can't make the upland hunt.

The rifle itself is only half the battle, learning the correct math to accomplish your goal is the real challenge. And personally I would be looking at a bolt gun to accomplish 600+ yard bullseye's. But it is possible to build an AR platform that will hit those distances with accuracy. Along with the rifle I would be looking at how to make hand loads for those distances. Guys that shoot those distances rarely use ammo off the shelf. Maybe an AR10 platform would be a better choice with multiple .30 caliber chambers to pick from as apposed to the AR15. Just my $.02 brother. They do make a single shot .50cal bolt upper for the AR15 platform though. That's another option.

That's exactly what it is! And I don't find it enjoyable to shoot. I'm 5'6" 130 lbs. I guess I have an athletic type build, but I definitely wouldn't say I have big biceps. I lock both elbows and wrists, then hold on for dear life, while leaning as forward as possible when I squeeze that trigger. One round at a time for beginners!

Welcome from a Hopatcong guy next town over. Cherry Ridge is probably the closest outdoor range to us. I also shoot at RTSP regularly.

...

I have an unlimited supply of lead from work. I'm constantly cutting out old lead pipe, bends, and joints.

I have a membership at RTSP, anyone that wants to try the range out let me know. I have guest passes, never have to twist my arm to go shooting. Weekend mornings from 8-10am is members only, or any weeknight is usually good for me.

Yeah man, good 2 see you there too. Sounds like the pickle dude is doing well lol! What would a gun show be like without pickles! Hahha
