Reddy's gonna need his CT permit to bring his toys down here Wahlie...

And you should get your Mass Class A LTC if you're gonna play up in Redlite's neck 'o the woods.

Weee put up a link for the Conn permit.

I'll come down for the plate shooting. I did it at the club a couple of years ago, it was fun. Fastest for me was 6 plates in about 8 seconds, I threw the 4th shot. That was with a stock HK USP compact. A guy using a very tricked out Les Baer had a time of like 4.3 seconds..

They are supposed to run a bunch of them up in Braintree this year, and the are putting in the mechanical targets too.

I have never read much about Conn. Gun laws as I am very rarely in Conn. but I was assuming it was much like other states. I could transport my firearms through the state as long as they were unloaded, locked, and locked in a gun box. I would not be able to carry the weapon on me, but would be able to use it at a range/ hunting/ or in competitions. Will try and look into it cause I'd defiantely like to come down there for a little bang bang session. Gonna be hard since HR has put a block on any web site with "gun" or "firearm" any where in it.

Is the plate shootin like Specialist is talking about (high speed plinkin) or is it sillouhette shooting?
That was the first "real" gun (other than bb guns) that I shot at about 6.
S&W Model 29 .357 Highway Patrolman's gun with 6 inch barrel and scope. Old man used to do a lot of sillouhette shooting. Only thing that sucks about it is having to walk way the hell down the range to stand them back up.

Went over to New England Outfitters(where the plate shooting is held lastnight) they use target loads for the shotguns which is kinda odd.. they said that there is a 12 yr old that runs circles around alot of the older guys with tricked out hardware.. It will be interesting to see how it goes.. I know i'll get my arse handed to me but it will be fun.

Did some lucky bastage go shooting on his lunch hour?

wahlie · 03-31-2005, 04:51 PM

hahaha yup... I made it out for an hour... that place was ok. looked at the beretta storms in .45 acp but couldn't justify plinking 8 bills for it... Wee Wee, that place seemed a little high priced for what they had plus their selection wasn't all that great... the guy knew you though

fishweewee · 03-31-2005, 04:59 PM

That guy = Grrrrrr.

I told you that place was expensive ... it's the Gold Coast you know.

booo. no subgun category.

redlite · 03-30-2005, 02:33 PM

Not a very informative web page. Only .22 pistol? With the distance that means for shotgun they must be usin slugs? OUch. That's a beggin for a sore shoulder. And what qualifies for "pistol caliber carbine"? I see in the pics an MP9 but also an AR15 style gun, unless that is one of those new police guns that shoots 9mm or .40 S&W.

Let us know how it is Wahlie.

wahlie · 03-30-2005, 04:12 PM

i'm not sure about the shotgun category... i'd imagine that it's not slugs but who knows.... i picked up a ruger 9mm carbine yesterday for this kinda shooting. holds a hi-cap pistol mag... looks very much like a mini-14. Mike, I think that is a 9mm or .40. they don't allow .223 or anything that is a non-pistol cartridge... they do betting and stuff... money, donuts, drinks.... all we need is some ladies shakin' it and we'd be all set.

redlite · 03-30-2005, 04:22 PM

I would imagine at that distance (shotgun) you'd have to use slugs. If not all it'd take would be one blast and they would all be down? Where's the competition in that?
You gettin all kinds a nice toys Wahlie.

Mike I have been a member there for a long time. It is 90 or 95 a year now. Was the new indoor range there when you were last there? Jacketed , and Magnum loads allowed, 24 hr access,and the old indoor range was redone and is the same way. Both have electronic carriers. The gate is open on Sunday mornings, and you can go up and get an application in the new clubhouse. You have to attend a new member meeting, they run one a month on a sunday, and there is a 75 initiation fee. As far as I am concerned best club around for the money. They also hold CMP matches, andpretty regular NRA matches.
