4 months of weddings, birthdays and everything else that could get in the way, figured I would start a cold year off right. Got my uncle to join who is also bringing a friend. I always believed that in NJ the best thing we could do as gun owners is get more people to own guns and more gun owners to be more active.

 

If you want to say hi, I'll have a marroon BC hat on.

I like that range, they don't break your b@lls there like other ranges in Jersey. Have fun today!

Grats. Matt and I and maybe Dan/Troy will probably shoot today. You planning on shooting?

Man, I'd love to go! Maybe next time.

What's a BC Hat anyway?

 

I googled it and it looks like a Crocodile Dundee hat or Bonneville club. heh.

Very cold and windy today! Friday was a good day at CR the temperature was 39 very light breeze and the place was practically empty, the RO's were hiding inside so nobody to bother you while shooting.

It was cold.

 

Shot Matt's new toy. Very Nice gun.

 

Shot some more out of my snubby.

 

Shot Dan's 1911. Very nice.

 

After about 45 minutes Matt couldn't take it.

 

I ran into BCEagle on my way out . They were shooting at 100, we were shooting at Pistols.

Saw BC while we were there.

 

It was cold. It was windy. Tape doesn't stick in this weather. And the wind broke my target stand. But the 686 was awesome!! I think I have a permanent grin on my face

 

No more shooting unless its above 30, I'd rather go hunting

r. And the wind broke my target stand.

 

So picture the scene.

 

We're both trying to get targets to stick to the cardboard. My shoot-N-C aren't sticking so good and the crappy packing tape I had only marginally helped.

 

After some trial and error, Matt gets a few targets on his board.

 

We take the boards out, get the guns out.

 

Matt is almost ready to take a shot but the wind got in good shot first. Poof....the target explodes...off goes the cardboard and there lays Matt's pile of sticks.

 

ROFL. The best part...he got the cardboard back but the targets were gone. LOL.

great story - woulda been great to see in person!

 

I thought about going up for about 30 seconds and then quickly came to my senses

I was shooting at the 200yd range this morning. I had to scrap the ice and snow off the shooting table first. Then, my towel wouldn't stay down, so I had to staple that down. My seat pad kept blowing away, so I stapled that down too.

 

Finally got some nice shooting done, very happy, considering the 20-30+ mph winds....

 

It was really, really cold....

The range officers never bother you at CR as long as you're following the rules.

They are really pretty decent! Except when they want to go home to dinner and close the range a few minutes early. LOL

 

But seriously, though the rules at CR may not be for eveyone they've haven't had any serious accidents in alot of years.

Old School it's not an issue with breaking rules maybe I misworded this. I don't have an issue with the RO's I know them very well and they do a great job, but sometimes my time is limited, I want to shoot and not carry on a conversation or satisfy someones curiosity about a big bang. Also they get nervous if they hear rapid fire on the trap range, I have a machine and I launch and shoot clay pretty quick.

Good to see you guys there, the range looks like a great setup, all the ROs seemed nice and helpful, even if they didnt want to leave their trucks. It was just way to cold, we shot my uncle's new sig 556 then took off.

 

BC=Boston College and thanks to Christmas, Birthdays and Father's Days 75% of my wardrobe says it in one fashion or another. If you see anyone wearing it and it isnt 18 degrees its probably me.

Glad to hear that Tom. We agree they are some of the nicest guys around. I'm up there quite alot. Hope to catch up to you sometime FTF.

And about the trap range, I understand that too. I go up with two machines at times. LOL

the ROs seemed nice and helpful, even if they didnt want to leave their trucks.

 

Not a negative, but I don't think I've EVER seen them out of their trucks.

When it's busy they'll often come and chit chat while keeping an eye on things. When it's not busy or frigid they're in the truck.

I dunno the RO's see me and usually come and chat. It also helps that when I hold events we give them pizza but ya know

 

Ridge has been my favorite place to shoot. Only thing that would make that place better is a indoor range, and a idpa setup. I'd like to see a skeet / trap house but beggers can't be choosers so I can deal

 

Hope to see you guys out when it gets warmer.

I wish they had a GP range like CJRPC and allow targets to be set up at distances less than 50 yds. It would be nice to not have to drive from range to range lugging my cr@p around. But, overall I agree, it's a great range and I'm glad I got off my butt and joined.

 

Hope to see you guys out when it gets warmer.

We should have some pretty good turn outs for the clay shoots with all the new (or new to the forum) CR members

Yup and I'm working on getting it so non members get in for free the day of the events so hopefully I can get that taken care of and we'll have a decent turnout!!

 

M

I'll come up

I'll come up

We can battle it out with the Stoegers

Loser pays for ammo

I'm game

I'm game

 

poor pete, he's gonna need to buy some ammo!! lol

:doh:
