Anyone planning on joining OB this sunday? I'm going to get my a** up and get over there to finally join. Also any advise from current members like should i show up before 9? or bring anything extra they may not mention in the email?

Get there early. It's been filling up pretty quick

I've been a member for sometime now, but I hear they are filling up quick. Get there early with everything you need.

Are you talking about joining the club or shooting in this Sunday's IDPA Classifier match?

I'll be going just to join. I work over nights so getting up that early is tough so ill prob get there 845ish join go home and go back to sleep

8:45 should be good, but earlier is better. Need to be an NRA member, If you are, bring your card, know your number, or bring the magazine, it has your number on it. If you aren't, you can join there I believe. And bring your checkbook plus a gun, either handgun or a .22 rifle is good. They will take everyone into the range and make sure they can safely shoot. Don't remember the round count, 50 should be more than enough.

hmmm maybe ill try and get their a little earlier then.. I joined the NRA on saturday. They said i would get my card and packet in 10-14 days. Do you think if i print out the conformation email the NRA sent me that would be enough? or should i also print out my bank statement to showing payment to the NRA?

The email would probably be fine, it should have a member # on it.

I don't know about Old Bridge. CJRPC accepted my NRA confirm email when I joined.

 

When in doubt call or email. They want you to join and I imagine will be accomodating.

So, just to be clear.

 

NRA membership (card or confirmation)

 

handgun (with 50 rounds)

 

and my checkbook.

 

What is the up front nut? $400 for non-refundable deposit and $370 for annual dues? All up front? or is it a partial payment for probationary and then the balance is paid when you're made a full member?

 

Aside from that, would all paperwork be available to fill out on Sunday morning? because I don't have that in hand. everything else...I've got.

Up-front charge is $380-something. That is 1/2 the membership dues plus 1/2 the one-time initiation fee.

 

They will explain everything to you at the meeting, plus the information packet will have everything you need to know in it.

 

Bring a pen!

Is it possible to get a tour on the day? or is it so crazy with new people that isn't an option?

You'll see the indoor range upon sign up, the outdoor range will be open for a match all morning this saturday , drive on over take a look and watch some of the steel match.

Match starts at 9am. Just drive up and I can walk on? I don't want to alarm anyone if I'm just there to observe and check out the range.

There will prob be close to 100 shooters if it's nice out, I'd get there around 8:30 if you expect to get in and park in a spot where you can get out, parking fills up really quick.

 

 

Obligatory Mother's Day reminder, dudes

 

Call your mommas on the way!

I would come prepared to shoot Saturday, don't go there to watch. We only have a few knockdown steel events a year, don't miss-out on this one, bring a gun and ammo!

I joined in January. It was 684. I paid 342 up front. Don't know if they changed things since then.

I only have a 22 ruger. Not enough oomph for knockdown right?

I don't know if a .22 rifle would have enough oomph to knock the steel over, maybe someone else can anwser that question.

 

If you wanna shoot bring 200 to 300 rounds of ammo and borrow a gun from another squad member if you can. I have a Beretta 92FS and a 96FS that I can bring that I won't be using myself that day, plenty of mags for each. 9mm ammo comes in 115 grain and 124 grain. I would suggest the heavier round to help with knocking the plates over. I used the 115 grain one day and some plates needed double taps. The .40 is no problem at all.

.22 rifle won't cut it for the knockdown steel. I used to be involved wit the speed on steel match and set up the rimfire rifle side match. I had to use the small steel and set it light. I also tried to use my ..22 a few times at the regular match as an experiment. Using high velocity and aiming real careful for the top 1/2" of target, about 40% of the steel at the average match would go down.

This would be nice. i would like to get 1/2 the membership and all of that up front fee out of the way! This might be a stupid question but do they accept cash or does it have to be a check?
