Has anyone been to the Sunday eve action shooting matches at Tenafly? How do those compare with the idpa matches at SCFGPA?

 

Thanks

GS

I don't know how SCFGPA is as I've never shot there, but Tenafly is very laid back and easy going and a good time.

At most I think I've seen 20 people for the action match. Starts at 6:30pm or so and you can be out before 9/9:30 usually.

Usually three stages. I'd recommend it for anyone close by.

FYI - if there's less than 9 people, it's just an informal practice night. I think there has only been one or two nights this entire summer that was a regular scored match.

Walk-ins ok to shoot-spectate?

I know the times are posted, is it advisable to come 1/2 hr early or so, to help setup?

Every one just walks on. No pre-reg.

Just show up. Earlier the better.

Good idea. Good crowd there and informal shooting. Good for a little practice on a Sunday evening. If your only two miles away, it's a no brainer.

Walk-ins and looky loos are welcome. Help is always welcome. Plus you get an early look at the stages.

Thanks Colonel!

I'm going to try and make it this Sunday

 

Is it every Sunday? I'm interested in checking it out. I went to their website and requested for more information but got a blank email back.

It looks like there's a different type of action match each Sunday.

This weekend is knockdown steel.

I'm really interested in trying this out. Do you need to be a member of the club to shoot in the action pistol matches? What kind of gear and orientation Is required?

You don't need to be a member of the club. Gear's pretty standard for each sport. I think for orientation you need to show up early for safety briefing. I checked out the match a few weeks back but didn't shoot. Really friendly group. I'm gonna shoot knockdown steel next week using my IDPA rig (cuz that's what I've got), a Glock 34, five 10-round magazines, kydex holster.

I am going to try to make this one. Some of the guys at Somerset IDPA were talking about going to this one. Plus, I can always use practice with knockdown steel.

Just got home. Had a great time. Apparently I wasn't only new guy, witch was nice. Good group down there. I will definitely be going back. If your local I'd recommend it.

Has anyone been shooting at Tenafly on Sunday evenings lately? These comments from a couple of years back still valid?

 

I'm shooting IDPA at Old Bridge mostly but wanted to try out the centerfire steel knockdown 4th Sundays of the month.

 

Any comments, advice or tips is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

I know they took the summer off from hosting the Sunday evening matches, but resumed Oct 5 with a Bianchi cup match.  I didn't get an email about a match last Sunday, but just received one about a knock down steel match this Sunday.  Starting an hour earlier than last year--arrive at 4:30, shoot starts at 5.   Pistol/Revolver, pistol-caliber carbine, and shotgun with birdshot all allowed, many shooters shoot two divisions.    Newbie-friendly, $10 to shoot, no prizes, but a good time for all.
