Going to the range with a friend. He is literally, a 1 gun guy. Only brings one, shoots a few rounds and goes home.

 

I believe there is indoor/outdoor?

 

Can I bring my shotgun? What rounds do they allow? Targets (byot?) what's allowed?

 

I ask him and he really doesn't know what im asking. LOL

Which range are you going to? Indoor or Outdoor? There's both. BYOT.

So, your friend is a member at OB and he is guesting you in? Certainly he should know the what's what on what's allowed on the ranges.

Indoor: Pistols <= .45 and 22lr rifles. No Magnums

Outdoor : Any NJ legal weapon. No incendiary ammo.

Its easier to ask here, he's at work most of the day and doesn't use his phone while at work. I'm gathering what I need, tonight so I can head to it right after work tomorrow.

Oh, one more thing, for the outdoor can you shoot water jugs? I'd really love to try and get a fired bullet from both of my pistols.

As a GUEST, how about you follow the lead of your friend and bring a gun or two and some targets and go have a good time. Without blowing-away water jugs. Reason I say this is that we've had some recent problems with non-members shooting various glass and plastic targets and not cleaning-up after themselves. So go see what the place looks like and be the low-key guy with a friend INSTEAD of the Person Of Interest in an ongoing investigation.......

THIS!

 

 

#1; Don't assume I would be "that guy". Because I wouldn't. Its called respect. The water jug I'm referring to is a half gallon Ice Tea container. I'd simply put two in it and hope the bullets remained not only in it, but intact for my little display I'm making. I'd also clean up after myself.

 

#2; I wouldn't give anyone any reason to have an investigation..

 

Absolutely 0 reason to be condesending with your post.. I asked a simple question, no reason for a lecture.

I don't think Rosie is being condescending. He's just looking out for the club. Some of the club leadership troll the forums here for stuff about OBPRC looking for potential misuse of their range.

Really? Sounds like the NJSP.

Automatically assuming I would be a "Person Of Interest in an ongoing investigation" is a pretty bold statement to make for not knowing anything about me, other then my signature. And IMO, extremely uncalled for.

 

I asked the questions I did KNOWING there are members of the club as well as "the powers that be" that's why I asked them. I was hoping to get an answer.

 

 

 

Might as well have been a speech from a gun grabber. Automatically assumed I was up to no good for wanting to shoot my firearms..

Sorry you got offended. It seems clear to me that rosey was being a tad sarcastic with the person of interest thing.

Hi Adam,

I can assure you, Rosie (Smokin 50) wasn't being condescending. Trust me... He's one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

Neither was I when i reiterated his post. Sometimes forum messages, when read defensively, can carry a whole different context that wouldn't be apparent if you we were to talk to face to face. It's ok, you didn't cross the line by asking your questions. You just have to try and understand that Rosie was protecting you AND your buddy. When someone posts that they are heading to a private club with a member that doesn't know the rules, it scares the hell out of everyone. The active OB members are extremely dedicated to making sure that the club stays safe, legal and clean.

 

With that being said, i'd be more than happy to guest you into the outdoor range and give you a tour myself. So if you want to go shoot your collection and your buddy can't make it one day, just shoot me a PM and we'll setup a time.

 

Nick

Im sure he's aware of the rules, but being able to get info out of him prior to getting there is a task in itself.

 

Being able to catch him on the phone is like pulling teeth. Thought it would be easier to ask here. I don't know what he has, so I'd rather have my own this way all bases are covered.

 

The water jugs (2) IF they were allowed would be to collect two bullets. 1 .40 1 .45. Kinda pointless to shoot empty jugs, but I'm sure they'd get a few holes.. Then be policed up.

I take 12 small water bottles filled with tap water and some food coloring. They don't blow-up, but the water goes flying. The one gallon jugs will usually blow-up. Just make sure to take your dead plastic home with you, the pails and dumpsters get full fast there. I bring my stuff in a cooler and bring it back home for recycling in the same cooler, keeps the car clean!

 

I did see the remnants of glass once again on Saturday. That is very dangerous to shoot, stuff goes flying and leaves sharp pieces to cut you later, ask me how I know.............. I was reaching down for a steel plate from the Texas Star and discovered some pieces in my hand.

Thank you. It'll be two jugs, plain tap water.

 

As for paper targets, im assuming there's something to staple them to?

 

For the record, I did check the site, but on my phone its a pain in the a**. I didn't see any links for rules etc..

Damnit..

 

Just got the call.. Not going tomorrow now. Later in the week

.. Oh well

Thank you. It'll be two jugs, plain tap water.

They do have target frames over by the 100 yard pit and a few pvc stands that can be used to hold them in the smaller pits.

Just dont forget a stapler.

I made my own stands from 3/4" PVC, very light and easy to take with me. I have cardboard on them so I can staple my targets to them.

 

I also bring a box of clays to put on the berm. More fun seeing things break than punching holes in paper. The price for the clays is good too, $7.00 for 60!

Thank you. It'll be two jugs, plain tap water.

Adam,

 

Nick is dead-nuts right about me! I didn't mean to get you bent in any way; sorry if I did. There IS an ongoing investigation involving illegal targets (including a second A-Hole blowing-up a fricken television). Part of the first TV is what probably cut into Mike! When you originally posted, you gave the impression that your friend who was hosting you didn't know the rules. Nick and I both picked-up on that drift. NOT typing what I did would be wrong in so many ways, so please don't be upset, for as Nick said, we tend to look out for trouble and stop it before it happens.

 

Now, with all of that being said, may I add that two small water jugs will not stop heavy bullets. The heavy bullets require several bottles in a row to stop bullets. As a matter of fact, I watched someone get soaked pumping a 1 oz. 12 ga. slug into a series of gallon-sized full milk jugs filled with water. 5 of them didn't stop the slug, so you may want to re-think the number of jugs you want to try this with IF you're actually trying to recover bullets without having to first dig them out of the berms. And as Mike stated, consider it a "Carry-In, Carry-Out" sort of thing, just like a State Park. Then you'll stay out of trouble.

 

Have fun and Be Safe!

 

Dave

The best way to shoot at a club like ours, be safe, follow the rules, and leave the place the way you found it, or cleaner, and everyone will be happy!

 

We have very few rules compared to other clubs and we don't want to ever have to have a 10+ page rulebook ever published due to some clowns. The day some guys blew-up a TV was nuts, we thought something really bad happened. Dave (Smokin 50) and I went-over to the pit to see if there were going to be body parts strewn-about, it was quite an explosion. No way that mess could have been competely cleaned-up, there was crap everywhere!

 

I love to be able to shoot handguns, .22's, shotguns, and my Mosins in a 25 yard pit! Try to do that at other clubs, you can't. As long as we all follow the rules and stay safe we can continue to enjoy the facilites.

Adam,

 

So did you ever get to shoot @ OB yet? I have some time this week.......

 

Dave

No I didn't. Our schedules won't line up for a few more weeks..

 

I went to an outdoor range somewhere wall/Howell area next to an airport, decent little place. Had the place to ourselves and had a good time. I forgot to get the name of it, my friends brother is a member there.. They're expanding it he said, should be nice.

Adam,

 

You visited the Monmouth County Rifle & Pistol Club on the Howell-Wall Twp. border, right next to the Monmouth Executive Airport in Wall Twp.

 

Nice little place. They just built a road to get into it and held a huge work party / clean-up when they re-oriented the berms. I haven't shot there in several months.

 

Are you interested in still going to Old Bridge soon? I can try to make that happen, if you're interested.

 

Dave

Yes it was a nice place. A lot of weeds though, almost to many.

 

Thanks,but I am in no rush to go there.. I don't have the loot to join, so I'm not in any rush to see it. Ill get there eventually. I'd like to visit for an IDPA event and eventually shoot one there.

Adam,

 

The next regular IDPA Match @ Old Bridge should be on the second Sunday in October. Please go to the OBDOGS web site to get all of the details.

 

For the IDPA 3-Gun events Match Director John Plum has stated that all participants must bring their own guns (NO sharing). So make sure to bring enough guns to have all of the fun you can handle, lol!

 

Hope to see you at one of our League events. They're all open to the public (shooters of known ability, rating cards, etc.) and all you do is pay non-member rates.

 

Dave

Im one gun shy of 3 gun and will be for a while. Next long gun will be a distance shooter.
