What's the advantage of being a full member? I don't know if I would be all that interested in participating in entering events.

 

There is a probationary period for the first 6 months only, after that and you meet the requirements you become a full member.

 

The involvement in activities is required, but I think it really is you need to participate in 2 and view 3 for a total of 5 but you can participate in as many as you like.

 

I never though about or even knew about a lot of the activities and disciplines that are available for club members. I just went to a range, shot paper and that was it previously, the Indoor shoots and USPSA matches I have shot were a great learning experience and just a lot of fun. There is only one problem with having to shoot them, you just might get a new hobby that's fun, get to meet a lot of good people and go through more ammo than you normally would.

 

Like I said, it's not bad at all, and just a good way to get to meet other members and shooters because when there isn't an activity you most of the time find yourself to be only one at either of the ranges when you go.

 

Like I said, I mentioned the times I am available to show you around and if you want to take me up on the offer just let me know.

 

Put it this way, my only regret about joining the club is I waited till March and lost the time I could have been a member if I joined sooner.

I hear ya Harry. First I had to wait 5 weeks to get my permits. Then I was screwed around with for several weeks when people kept shipping the wrong hand gun! I finally went to Paul (PK90) and bought a beautiful Springfield Armory 1911. Would like to try it sometime.

 

So, please let me know exactly what their rules are. If I join next month can I immediately bring my wife with me to the outdoor ranges during their normal hours and can she come with me 24/7 indoors, or do I need to wait 6 months before she can come with me?

 

My other shooting buddies live south so Brick Armory or Shore Shot is closer to meet with them.

First off, Great gun you got, and Paul is a pleasure to do business with.

 

As far as the wife and/or any children, the day you sign up you can bing the WITH you to any range, they can not come on there own, but bring them every day with you and it's cool.

 

Harry

Ok Harry, you guys twisted my arm enough, I'll be there next month ready to do whatever is needed!

LOl, we will hook up between now and then, and I'll show you around.

 

Harry

Harry, The way I understood it was after you complete your observation/participation sheet your eligible to become a full member.

 

Bang out your sheet, do your participations, go to the monthly Thursday trustee meeting with your paper and they review it and vote you in. It was mentioned somebody knocked it out in 2 or 3 weeks or something.

You can knock out the participation stuff in a week if you want to, but I do think there is also a 6month probationary period.

I'll probably stop by the indoor range sometime late tonight, did an hour or so at the outdoor range yesterday.

 

was fooling around @ 100 yards with the mosin, think I hit 6 out of 15 shots on the target , goes to show I suck alot. Need more practice.

 

So tomorrow I finally get to go over there to see the place, 2nd Sunday of the month. I think I need to bring a handgun and 50 rounds, correct? Plus my checkbook!

I will be going there as well! See you there. I wish I had time to get this going earlier.

Ok, now I finally pulled the trigger and bit the bullet, I am a new member at Old Bridge! Yeah, two bad puns in the same sentence, had to do it.

 

While everyone brought a "real" handgun to show the people there they knew how to handle and fire their guns, I brought my little Ruger 10/22 since my elbow was bothering me. I was done with 50 rounds before they realized it. Now my wife and I have someone to take our handguns 24/7 without driving an hour to get there.

I was there on Friday morning to do a little business, place looks awesome. I'd love to shoot here and see what it's all about.

+1. Very nice group and ya can't beat the price. Just watch out for the fudds if you run a semi-auto

Yes, I plan on going to Mallard in the near future. Some of the guys I shoot with at Citizens also shoot at Mallard, plus it is closer to my house. I have a semi-auto but only load one shell at a time, that should ok, no?

I got yelled at by one of the fudds because "one good ejection out of that thing will ding the stock on my gun". Silly fudds.

Ha, gotch! I used to hit my wife in the head from my shells ejecting from my Rem 1100...... Now I have a clip on it that stops the shells from going flying. She has an 870 and learned how to catch the shell when she opens the action.

So what was the cost for you for the first year?

One time fee of $300.00, yearly dues are $384.00, either 12 hours of work time or $15/hr for hours not worked.

I cant seem to find my OBRPC rules book that I got, so maybe someone who has been a member there a while can answer :

 

Are steel targets allowed on the outdoor range? im pretty sure i've heard the pinging sound of bullets on steel while there the other day, but cant be sure.

 

If so, is it limited to the 50/100 range? caliber restriction? etc etc.

 

Thanks.

Not at home to look at my rule book but yes Steel is allowed, but range and/or pit restrictions I can't not confirm but if I remember when I get home I'll post it if someone else hasn't answered the question.

Thanks Harry, If you can confirm that'd be great.

Just looked through everything in my folder from the club and there is no mention of restrictions for shooting steel, there is only mention of no shooting cans or bottles.

Members bring their own Steel for practice sessions. Care & common sense has to be exercised so that you do it right, so it's best to go to a regular Match to see how & why they set it up so you learn how to do it the right/safe way. You also learn to ask a lot of questions like who to get the steel from and what the ratings mean so you know what will go through it and what won't. When you pay for something, you don't want to ruin it on day one.

 

Don't be afraid to go introduce yourself to some of the guys & gals that bring their own stuff. They're really nice folks who will tell you what they bought & why. They may even invite you to pop-off a few rounds. Bribery with an ice-cold bottle of water is a great way to get a positive response, although experienced shooters should always bring a cooler with them this time of year especially.

 

Welcome to both of you!

 

See you around the Ranges!

Dave, maybe you can answer a question for me. In the rules it is stated that there is to only be one target per frame. I have seen people put several small targets on a frame, which for the most part seems fine to me, UNLESS the targets are at the edge, then the bullets will be hitting the wood behind the cardboard. I have put two small targets on a single frame, one above the other, is this a problem? I understand that we want the bullets to go through the targets and into the backstop, not the walls, floor, or ceiling.

I'm goin on the 10th to sign up, anyone else?

1 target per frame centered is the rule, the idea is and many people may be able to put multiple targets on a frame and just hit the targets, well that's not that case for everyone, so going by the principal aim small miss small you are less likely to damage the frames. The frames cost money and the more people hitting them and the need for replacement just cost all of us money, is it changing the dues, NO not at this time, but if everyone started doing it and we had to replace more and more frames, the money would have to come from someplace.
