Thanks! I guess one would find that at an Army Navy store? I just borrow a post hole digger from the range, or bring a small spade.

I find the post hole diggers at Dix to be awkward and slow. You can find e-tools at Army Navy stores... camping stores.. online.. they're pretty easy to find.

I use this one: http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-22-41578-Gorge-Folding-Shovel/dp/B000WZCSTO

Yeah gotta bring your own targets.

 

They sell simple cardboard targets on 1x2's that you can dig in pretty easy.

 

I suggest you guys find some real estate signs or the ad poster thingys in the ground for political/etc signs and liberate those

Those little shovels are great, when it is dry! It is going to rain Saturday night and the last thing I want to do is kneel down in the mud and wet sand to dig a hole for my target?

Last year around this time I went to Ft. Dix and brought a 1 1/2" spade bit on a cordless drill and that seamed to work fairly well. I watched guys really struggle with the post hole diggers that they have there and it didnt look like fun.

That's because you young whippersnappers do not understand the mechanics of a fine tool like a post hole digger. Everything is plug it in and use power tools.

Glad to see somebody else on this forum use "whippersnappers" - we're watching you youngsters.

Us young whippersnappers just don't want to show off by digging so fast Ive also brought 5 or so phone books and duct taped them together then taped a piece of 5' high cardboard to that to staple my targets onto. Its a good dig free option if its not windy or raining. Also, the phone books are fun to shoot at when you get board of the targets.

We can shoot at stuff on the ground at Ft Dix? We used to be able to at CJ, until something JCP&L complaining that their lineman working on the towers behind the berms were hearing ricochets wizz past them. It was determined it was probably from ricochets off of the ground when shooting at ground targets. Others think they are making it up and just being pricks. Now we have to shoot at stuff 5ft off the ground minimum, or if its clearly on the bottom of the berm.

If the target is on the ground it has to be at least at the 25 yd line at Dix.

Pete, you coming Sunday?

Can't make it

Too bad. Next time.

Definitely. I need to get my money's worth out of my new membership

Yeah I'll have water bottles/etc for targets on the ground.

 

Does anyone have any shooting stand or sandbags? I'm going to need some help sighting in 2 rifles.

If I make it early, I have a Harris Bipod. I may be making it later though. It's a little up in the air right now. Trying to clear everything with the fiance.

I have a lead sled that you can use.

Awesome. Thanks!

Picking up my nephew in Lacey around 8am and heading out. Hope to get a lane, maybe all the rain and threat of a muddy field will dissuade the regulars from coming out?

Supposed to be some insane winds tomorrow, this should be fun.

I'll be there at 7:30 tomorrow.

If anyone wants to be "guested", just look for a good looking guy in a Porcshe Carrera GT, with the super sexy model girlfriend. I'll be the goofy looking asian next to them, ogling the hottie from my silver Honda, probably humming a Justin Bieber song.

If you send me a PM, I'll reply with my cell phone. I'm easy like that.

I'll try to get there around 8:30. Might be there around 9 - I have to go home and grab my gear/stuff, make a couple stops, then i'll be there.

Plans changed a bit. I'll be there between 11am and Noon.

Be there around 9:30..

I was going to be there, but ended up in Spain instead. Not sure how the weather is Jersey, but if you were wondering, it is beautiful here!

whats the actual addy so I can pop it in GPS????

Don't know if I can make it. Too much storm damage to clean up. Maybe I can get there later. Hope you all have a great time.
