Today was the first time ever shooting my first pistol purchase. I went to the Bayonne pistol range and had a lot of fun and look forward to going back soon (can only go weekends as weekdays is kind of busy for me). The staff there was helpful and I even got a basic introduction into range safety and shooting. Definitely hooked and look forward to purchasing my next pistol. I shot my S&W 22-A1, put two hundred fifty rounds through it today and it feels real good in my hands. Here are the photos of my targets and groupings.

 

Here are a few from the set on flickr

Great job, and welcome to the obsession.

Caso's runs the Sunday range there. Good peoples.

Awesome!! I actually went to a range for the first time today myself. I used a rental, but my girl and I had a blast! Not sure of the exact gun they gave me LOL. I was a bit nervous but that went away real quick. I am looking forward to getting my first piece but I need to get the FID and permits first. Probably won't happen until january. My fingerprint appointment isn't until 12/2 so my paperwork is just sitting here collecting dust :-(

Welcome, I've been shooting less than a year and took delivery of my 3'rd handgun just this Saturday. It really gets under your skin and as Driver eluded to...it becomes an obsession.

I have been shooting for 39yrs that feeling or rush doesnt go away but like drugs it gets more exspencive

wish they would let us shoot shotguns there! wonder if caso's will on sundays? when i go they say only cops allowed to shoot shotguns wtf does that mean really?

Welcome and enjoy. I've shot at Bayonne once however I much prefer RTSP and ShoreShot even if it means an extra 30 minutes drive. Irrespective, have fun!

 

:-)
