I have been blessed with a very cool situation at work. I don't know how it happened but no less than 5 people I work with REALLY want to come shooting with me. Cherry Ridge is where I want to go but being just myself there are the standard issues:

 

1) newbies, and a bunch of them,

2) Amount of allowed guests.

 

So here is the thing. These guys are extremely liberal. I really want to use the opportunity to bring them out and show them how fun and cool it can be to shoot, and how we are all not a bunch of weirdos.

 

I am going to start them with my MkIII then a few round through the Glock, Then wrap it up with some clays and my Mossberg.

 

This will be in the first two weeks of March.

 

So I am wondering if there are those of you out there that can help out with the following:

1. guest into the Range. I am going to call ahead and see if they will allow me two or three or even all but I might need a few extras to guest in
   
2. A little help in showing and keeping an eye out for safety, etc.
   
3. A few extra firearms other than my Glock, MkIII hunter and Moss.500
   
4. Able to keep from talking politics and an have open mind (3 of them are gay).
   

 

I am going to get them set starting today on indexing the trigger guard and pointing in a safe direction and since they work for me I am very confident in telling them they can't come along uless I am happy with their safety conciousness.

 

Any takers?

I can guest 3 people into SCF&G, 25 yard indoor pistol range there in Bridgewater. I have an assortment of pistols and enjoy teaching/converting newcomers. No clays here though, but the 100 yard rifle tunnel could be fun...

Im a member at CR im up for it. I have buckmark,glock 19, etc and a couple of 20 gauge shotties. Also a double, seated clay thrower. Ammo will be the only stipulation.

I would hope they would pitch in for some ammo. Other then that I'll guest 2 people. Ive seen quite a few people converted once they get to shoot at a range. BTW you can guest 2 people as a member.

I am willing and able to help with items 2, 3 and 4 I am unfortunately not a member at Cherry Ridge though, so I cannot help with guesting anyone in there. I would either need to be guested in or we can go to another venue. I have a membership at easton range in PA and can bring unlimited guests (only one of us can shoot at a time though).

Glen, I really get the impression that the assortment of pistols you have would be a lot of fun. However I really would like to try to get it going at Cherry Ridge for a few reasons that are too lengthy to describe. However, not totally out of the question.

I am covering the ammo costs. 20 gauge might be a good alternative though. I will keep you posted.

Some of them are coming from Brooklyn, NY so easton would be a very long day for them. Thanks for the offer however.

Hey speck i used to belong to easton ,few years ago. Not a bad place and you can do holster work there. Its about an hour ride for me.

I wonder if they would allow us to book the training range there. One thing they dont have is a clay range.. I think that would be one of the more enjoyable aspects for the newbs

I have quite a few reloads for 20 ga,not to mention 20 is alot kinder to a new shooter

I am a member at Central Jersey. If anyone has the same sort of request, I would be happy to bring a few newbie friendly guns. I have instructed a fair amount of new shooters at Shore Shot.

I'd be interested and I'm a CR member. I can bring my Beretta 9mm, H&K .45, Sig .22 and my AR. Only problem is March is a very busy month for us here (we're moving) and I might be working on the weekend. Let me know the date when you know it and I'll see if I can make it. Ammo's not a problem.

Let me know the date, if it's on a weekend, I'm quite likely to be able to go. I have no work travel scheduled. The only thing I have coming up is an addition to the house but that probably won't start for a few months yet.

Excellent, Thanks guys! I will let you know.

 

What I have done, since they are so excited about it, is tell them that the day I see them with eye and ear protection I will know they are serious. So they are all looking for the best deals on the internet. I feel this is a good indicator of their desire. When I see them with the articles in hand I will look for an exact date. However it already seems like the first two weeks in March are what we are looking at.

If/when Range 14 gets back up and running on the RIFLE side I'll be back out there in March also..

 

I met a few guys from here last August.. all I got is a Sig 9mm and AR's though..

If its a weekday I'll bring my GP100 and let them test a wheely and put some 357 mag smiles on there faces. Me and CR weekends dont get along, sorry

depending on the day, im a member at CR, and have an arsenal you can choose from. pistols, rifles, shotguns, and i have a clay thrower. let me know.

If you wanna hit up SCFGPA too, I can guest in people at the same time as GlennP.

Remember what happened with all the guesting last time Nick...lol

Well this time I'm an actual member

I have taken quite a few NYC residents shooting and they all love it. None of them are conservative in the least, but they do like guns. Im not a range member, but can bring all sorts of things to shoot, from newbie friendly to more advanced. (all 100% NJ legal of course). I also have a NYC guy coming out in a few weeks and he is very excited about going shooting. Anyone available on March 18th?

I could help with 2,3 and 4. I know about firearm safety, I have a small arsenal of various handguns and rifles. I am very open minded,one of my patrol areas is Chistopher street in NYC. Ammo is a cost concern since I have a bunch of different calibers and am very low on everything right now. My attendance will obviously depend on my work schedule

I really thought we had more members here. Guesting in all those that would like to help is looking like would keep them from getting in.

 

Not a bad problem to have, but logistically it makes things tough.

Oh yea, I remember the revolver. Thanks. I'll keep in touch.

 

We needed a Cherry Ridge meet anyways.

What is this place? You have one of your trademark videos of it?

Oh look, a multiquote button

 

. BTW you can guest 2 people as a member.

 

Really? I didn't know that. Why did I think it was one? That changes a few things.

I am sure they would love if I gave them all off during the week.

Not likely though...

Make it the yearly co picnic and write it off! You'll have a much more pleasant outing on a weekday. Its only money(yours,not mine!)

That's okay Ray, I put you in the weirdo group anyway

 

 

I knew you'd have something. What does the 10 port range look like, or was that it?

bulpup - that is the 10 "port" range. I am also a member at SCFGPA, and would be happy to help out. I have a good cross-section of stuff I can bring as well. I consider ammo costs for newbies my way of re-investing in the hobby, so there'd be no cost to shoot any of my ammo.
