Would like to, but living in the NW part of the state I would have to leave now to get there on a weekend in the summer.

Actually the morning drive is not bad at all, its the drive back you might not like. 

I am in! Hopefully it won't be as hot over the weekend!

Its CJ. In July. Of course it will be cool and refreshing.  On that note, I'll also bring you the unicorn I owe you, did you want a pink or blue one?

Rainbow.   That would be cool.

Coming from Bergen County I can get to CJ in roughly 90 minutes. Getting home, well that is tricky.

I will take the pink one. My little one will like it better.

 

I am not going to prepare at all and just go for it while I am there!

interested in this but I have never shot a match.  cliff notes on best division to start as a newb?

Depends of what you own

 

Double action or safe action handgun, not modified from factory specs, you can shoot production (or anything but revolver)

Plain 1911 then choose single stack

1911 with 10 rd mags then limited 10

Hi capacity 40cal then choose limited

Custom optics handgun then your are in open

Revolver then well... Revolver division

hmm i guess i will have to choose what i shoot best then.  i own several of the options listed.  is this something friendly to beginners or more geared to experienced shooters?  

 

I belong to CJRPC but all of my experience is in shooting paper or steel targets from a static position.  I don't mind scoring badly or being laughed at, but I don't want to hold a match up because I am slow at moving and reloading or am missing targets.

 

after googling video's of uspsa matches it seems there is a lot of moving/shooting/reloading in a rapid fashion which I am not adept at.  

Don't sweat it, I'll walk you through a new shooter introduction, and we'll squad you with experienced shooters to help you along.

 

No one starts knowing how to do this, every single one of us went from shooting paper statically to the more complex stuff at some point.

 

Bring the gun you are most comfortable with, 250rd of ammo, all the mags you have, a holster and mag pouches if you have them, sun screen and water.

 

The rest we can work on

Thank you for the info, I am going to sign up for uspsa now.  Shooting you a pm.  

Blake...Vlad is one of the match directors.  You will be in good hands with him.

 

The USPSA croud at CJ and Old Bridge are all terrific.  You'll have a great time.

 

My only advice...go slow and focus on safety.  Nobody is going to make fun of you...well...a little good natured ball busting should be expected.  We tease cause we love.  Your times won't matter and nobody is going to complain if you take an extra 15 or 20 seconds to shoot a stage.  Pitch in by repairing targets inbetween shoots.

 

Enjoy!

Thanks for the input.  I am going to the match on Sunday and will see how it goes.  As you said safety will be my main focus as I am not trained in moving/drawing from a holster/shooting quickly.  I can do one at a time well but when you combine them who knows lol.

Everyone started just like you are about to! If you keep at it your skill set will advance tremendously.

 

My advise is to go as fast as you are comfortable with but let the RO (range officer) know what you want to do. Start slow and confident and then see what you can do. Either way you will have more fun than if you went to great adventure and meet some of the best people out there!

 

Ps. Bring water and snacks! The heat can sap the strength right out of you.

Blake: everyone there is great to deal with. Last month I shot my fire match and everyone was so nice. You'll have fun. I can't go this month because a friend is having their engagement party but ill be back next time. Have fun.
