9-10-23 Clay & Rifle Shoot *Stafford Forge WMA*
I have not seen any prohibitions on using them, however, we had a bad experience with someone using steel and several ricochets were close enough that we heard the bullets whizzing by. It's only a 100yd range, while it's not prohibited, I would not advise it.

9-10-23 Clay & Rifle Shoot *Stafford Forge WMA*
* * * POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER * * * Howdy folks! It's about time we get together again to turn some money into noise. Come join us XXXXXXXX at the STAFFORD FORGE WMA shotgun and rifle range for a morning of freedom! If you will be joining the fun, please let us know how many will attend and what you are bringing so we can plan for supplies. Shooting commences at 0900 and keeps going until we get bored, run out of ammo, or hear mom calling us home. Shoots go until at least 1300, leaving plenty of time for everyone to stop in at any time and join the party. As always, these clay shoots are informal gatherings, just plain old fun to promote clay sports and encourage training. Please feel free to bring friends and family. Shooters of all experience are welcome, if you have never shot clays before, or want some tips on improving your skills, this is your chance to dust off that shotgun sitting in a dark corner of your closet and gain some needed experience. What you will need. Bring your shotgun(s), as much #7.5 or #8 lead target/field loads as you want to shoot, and depending on how much you want to shoot, a carton of clay pigeons would be great. Targets (ie. clay pigeons) are available at Shooters in LEH and Solomon's Shooter Supply in Farmingdale. Some Walmarts carry targets. Don't forget eyes and ears. Also recommended is a chair, sun screen, insect repellent, and something to drink. I will be bringing an automatic trap machine, if you have a thrower, please bring it as a backup or second station. If you don't have a shotgun and just want to see what clay shoot'n is all about, a loaner pump action will be available. For those who plan on shooting rifles, you must have a firearms hunting license, or be on the rifle range with someone that has a license. In addition to the traditional rimfire and muzzle loaders, Stafford now allows center-fire up to .30 caliber. I'll be bringing my .308 DMR to sight in a new scope.

Wilson Combat makes very good to extremely good barrels. The one included with this upper is a hunter grade barrel, meaning it's not likely to be a one ragged hole machine, more like half dollar sized groups. If you want extreme accuracy for long range shooting, I don't believe that upper will get the job done. I think you can do better price and performance wise if you just build your own upper.Rainier Arms makes fantastic barrels, the price to value ratio is high. You can buy a match grade barrel with an accuracy guarantee for less than $300.00. We can help you spec out the upper and source the parts based on your criteria. If you don't want to assemble the upper yourself, you can always ask a an experienced friend or use a gunsmith. In the end, you will have a rifle that is exactly what you wanted.

Daily humor thread
Hillbilly vs Game Warden A hillbilly went hunting one day in West Virginia and bagged three ducks. He put them in the bed of his pickup truck and was about to drive home when he was confronted by an ornery game warden who didn’t like hillbillies. The game warden ordered to the hillbilly to show his hunting license, and the hillbilly pulled out a valid West Virginia hunting license. The game warden looked at the license, then reached over and picked up one of the ducks, sniffed its butt, and said, “This duck ain’t from West Virginia . This is a Kentucky duck. You got a Kentucky hunting’ license, boy?” The hillbilly reached into his wallet and produced a Kentucky hunting license. The game warden looked at it, then reached over and grabbed the second duck, sniffed its butt, and said, “This ain’t no Kentucky duck. This duck’s from Tennessee. You got an Tennessee license?” The hillbilly reached into his wallet and produced an Tennessee license. The warden then reached over and picked up the third duck, sniffed its butt, and said This ain’t no Tennessee duck. This here duck’s from Virginia. You got a Virginia. huntin’ license?” Again the hillbilly reached into his wallet and brought out a Virginia. hunting license. The game warden was extremely frustrated at this point, and he yelled at the hillbilly “Just where the hell are you from? “The hillbilly turned around, bent over, dropped his pants, and said “You tell me, you’re the expert!!”

Thoughts on new model clothes washers?
We had a GE washer with no agitator and it sucked. Not only dd it not clean clothes, it kept breaking down and needed a special detergent. When we gave up on the washer, I went shopping at used appliance shops that also carried commercial laundromat machines. I bought an old school Whirlpool that was the same as a commercial machine, but without the coin slots. It's been chugging along for 12 years with no issues. In today's GND appliance market, you have two choices for a machine that will actually work. An expensive front loader or an older refurbished commercial machine.

Another Year, The NRA will NOT be getting my $$$
The search string is too short. If you use a modifier like NRA AND membership or "NRA membership" , you will get pages of results.

air/CO2 rifle source?
Just a heads up. Subsonic rarely cycles reliably in a semi-auto. You can still manually cycle the bolt.

Another Year, The NRA will NOT be getting my $$$
It is extremely rare that entire threads are killed for any reason and even less likely that NJGF management is actively quashing NRA related topics. The reason you won't find much here is because nobody cares about the NRA outside the membership requirement to join many of the ranges in NJ.

Greetings fellow New Germany people
Well, there's @Mrs. Peell. She is a devout Taylor Hamster, kind of a zealot actually. Her stubbornness has no limit. Pretty sure Peel has a T shirt that says You can have my Taylor Ham when you pry it .... well, you get the idea. There are a handful of others that have proven resistant to the reeducation campaign.

air/CO2 rifle source?
When I shoot CCI Qs, in my Marlin 25N, the firing pin hitting the cartridge is louder than the report. I'd say they are so quiet, that if a lawnmower was in use nearby, I doubt you'd ever hear the shot.

I had a similar issue when I replaced the bulbs in a bank of ceiling lights. I replaced the dimmer to one that was marked LED compatible and the problem mostly went away. Sometimes I have to fiddle with the dimmer to get a position where the flicker goes away. I think it's a combination of quality bulbs and a dimmer switch meant for LED.- Grendel hunter
Never ever debate that. The barrel is the absolute foundation of every rifle, you build the rifle around it. You can spend hundreds on a fine trigger, thousands on an exceptional optic, have the most precise squared receiver, but if you skimp on the barrel, you may as well have flushed your money down the toilet. Precision begins with the barrel.- As Of Yesterday It's (Incandescent) Lights Out
I like LED but they don't seem to last as long as the advertised life. The LED itself may be good for a bazillion hours, but the electronics are crap and die from heat. I think they are engineered to die at a pre-planned interval. To me, the value in LED is when I'm using my generator. When you swap LED for incandescent, you free up as much as 1000 Watts that can be used to power up a major appliance, or just reduce the demand and use less fuel. Overall, I think CFL is a better bulb, but there is the cold start problem and they are not dimmable. Also, I think they are better able to handle line faults. Had an overhead fixture where incandescent lasted 6 months tops, replaced with CFL and the bulb lasted several years until I replaced with LED. One issue with LED lights is the "lights out" problem. LEDs are semiconductors and will get fried in an EMP. I suspect CFL may be subject to the same effect as there is some solid state circuitry in them too. Halogen is often overlooked. I used halogen when I did video production years ago, and also had some nice track lighting in the rec room too. Halogen lasts forever, at least that's been my experience. Halogen bulbs use more electricity than LED, but if you compare the overall cost to own and use, halogen breaks even with LED because they are less expensive to buy and will last ten years.- NJ Lt Gov Sheila Oliver Dies at 71
Not 100% sure about this but, I believe in NJ, the Lt Gov is appointed by the Gov. Also from AT- NJ Lt Gov Sheila Oliver Dies at 71
Stroke Apparently Oliver was admitted to hospital on Monday 7/31. Why were we not notified that our acting gov was sent to hospital for an ongoing health situation on Monday? It only became a story after she expired. I'm liking stroke related to C19 jabs more and more. - As Of Yesterday It's (Incandescent) Lights Out
