Well here it is, almost exactly one month away. The warm weather has my trigger finger itching and I'm ready to do some shooting with a bunch of guys. My regulars you guys know how it works so help me if I forget anything. For the new people who this will be their first event with us, WELCOME!!

 

When: Sunday, April 11th, 2010

Where: Cherry Ridge Gun Club

http://www.anjrpc.org/cherry_ridge.htm

Info and directions for the range can be found here. If any new comers need any specific information, please don't hesitate to pm me, I am always available for new people. Note: If using a GPS make sure your directions take you onto Canister Road. If it doesn't, you will be lost!

 

Time: The General purpose shooting will start at 9am. I plan to run GP until 12 at which time we will move over to the Clay range to shoot clay til we run out of light.

 

NOTE: CLAY SHOOTING STARTS AT NOON!!!!!!!!!

 

Also all non-members of CR must pay a one day fee of 25 dollars. I hope to have NJGF listed as an Official Club of Cherry Ridge by the time this event takes place. If that's the case, non-members will pay nothing. I just ask that you chip in a couple of bucks for pizza whether you plan on eating or not, see below for more information.

 

Because this is an all day event, last year we started getting pizza and it turned out to be a big hit and everyone liked it so I'd like to do this again. Depending on how many people come decides how much pizza we get but I always insist we get an extra pie to give to the RO's at CR. These guys bend over backwards to accommodate us and it's the least we can do.

 

Obviously we are all adults here so I'm not going to list all the safety rules that CR posts. But I will give a brief overview of the rules before we start shooting. Last year we never had any problems and I don't want this year to be the start of problems so lets get out, do some shooting, eat some food, and meet some new people.

 

Please post up whether you will be attending or not, and what time you will be showing up. This way I can guest up members with non-members, also let me know if your a non-member.

 

Thanks for looking and hope to see you come April 10th!!!!

informational addition to Mr Matt's post:

 

1) Biodegradable clays are available AT the range for $11 - I guarantee you will not find them cheaper anywhere. Typically, the clays at Dick's are NOT biodegradable.

 

2) The cheapest place to buy shotgun shells for clays is Dick's. Remington Gun Club are $7.48 a box if you buy them by the box. If you buy a case (10 boxes), they are $5.98 per box. Some stores will apply coupons and rewards certificates to ammo even though the coupons and rewards are 'not' supposed to be used for this.

 

3) The regulars will typically bring enough clay throwers to keep the crowd busy. If Tom brings his, then even RayRay remains busy

Pencil me in.

I'll make it my business to be there!

 

I want to have a rifle by then!

Matt--Are you aware there is a "Stake Cutting Match" at CR on April 10.

I'll see you guys there, I'll be at the match.

 

Edited by Matt, Frank put the wrong date, It's suppose to be Sunday April 11th. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks Danno!! I had totally forgotten about the Clays.

 

Anyone else think of anything?

 

PS colin, are you a member or not yet?

I am in!!!

Matt - are we changing this to a Saturday meetup??

I'm an idiot!! It's not the 10th, it's the 11th, the second Sunday of each Month buhhh.

 

Changing the dates right now, if you have said you were going please double check the dates again to be sure. Once again, sorry for my stupidness!!

Matt - are we changing this to a Saturday meetup??

 

No I'm an idiot and when I looked at the Calender on my computer I saw S and immediately thought it Sunday, apparently in my brain at that moment, Saturday didn't exist.

 

All topic headings have been changed to reflect the right date.

 

Just so it's clear. The meetup is:

 

Sunday April, 11th, 2010

putz......

Count me in, I will have a case of shells waiting Oh and I still have a box of clays from the last meetup

I am going to the 2x4 shoot on Saturday the 10th. Can I get the wife to let me go shooting two days in a row?

Mike- I'll be shooting that as well. You going 9 or 45? I'm undecided.

 

Frank

I will be there unless i'm traveling for work.

Sadly, it's a 50/50 for me right now. Wedding is a week later, so, it's gonna depend on how much last minute stuff we have to get done.

Go with the 45. Gene shoots a 9mm like a machine gun and does well but I felt I was at a disadvantage using the 9mm. The 45 is especially good if you handload low-recoil SWCs.

I don't know about the other 800+ NJGF members, but it looks like my invitation got lost in the mail.

Just in case it doesn't show up, why don't you just post the time and place here?

I'll get right on that

Matt - have you registered the forum yet? I could invite someone from NY.

Would definitely try to make it out there (if the wifey doesn't have any plans for me). It's my birthday on the 11th, gonna put in a couple of vacation days in so I can relax a few days.
