Sterling White Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Check this out.... Blocked mags are no longer legal in the great state of New Jersey! Click on link below: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=8&f=9&t=221781 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 So much for that idea, unfortunately. My CZs run like crap with the fixed 10 rounders and I only own two of them anyway. And taking the Normal capacity mags (16 rounders) there in pieces is not an option according to the NJ A.G. Will not be shooting Production in NJ. Lets keep going with the creative ideas though. Perhaps we can find a way out of this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Carlos, I think you can still buy 15rd mags for CZ's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling White Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 From the USPSA bylaws.... 11.2 Area Handgun Championship: The Area handgun Championship shall represent all Sections within the Area and be held within the physical confines of the Area. It is the intent of the corporation that, other than for prescribed activity fees and actual expenses of the event, the remaining proceeds from each Area Championship(s) be returned to the competitors in the form of prizes or awards. So maybe its time for a coporate tweek to help solve the problem. As it stands right now there's not going to be an Area match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basman Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 AREA 8 MATCH IS ON! "Gentlemen, I am pleased to inform you that Area 8 will have a match for 2006. Although a number of details remain to be finalized, the match will take place August 17-20 at the Pitcairn-Monroeville Sportsmen's Club just east of Pittsburgh. Nine stages plus chrono, probably 210 rounds or so. Single-Stack Division will be offered and fully recognized. Match Ammo program will be available for interested shooters. Several dedicated individuals stepped forward to help craft a composite solution. They deserve our collective gratitude and support. A notice will be placed on the Area 8 website shortly and will be followed with additional information as it becomes available. Please forward this information to your shooters."

TRNinTX Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 It is good that the match is on, however I hope attendance is not hurt too much by Steel Challenge. Most of the top shooters are going to be trying for the big payoff in CA that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 That is really good news! Shooting is great and a lot of fun, but it is the people that make this sport what it is. I wonder if those guys are still going to have the Sectional Match that they had planned for the last weekend in September? Good job to everyone involved in taking the initial steps to making this important match happen! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chriss Grube Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 We have an area match. Everybody was complaining that there wasn't one now there is. 99% of the shooters aren't going to the Steel challenge so let's just be happy we have a match and not start some silly assed whining.

No complaining, just stating an obvious conflict that could possibly take most of the GM's away from an otherwise great match. With at least $25K on the line I'm sure that shooters like TJ, JJ, Max, Julie, Dave S., Phil, Dave O. and others who usually support A8 will have a hard decision on their hands.

Jake Di Vita Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I'm with Tim. I know for a fact the top shooters are going to be at the steel challenge or the DPMS tri-gun challenge. With those 2 matches on the same weekend (probably the 2 biggest money matches in the world) attendence from the top shooters is likely to be low.

GeorgeInNePa Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I have to say I don't really care. Many others are going to feel the same way. It's nice to have the top guns to compare to, but it's not a deal breaker. Bottom line is either they'll shoot the match or they won't. All it really means is someone besides Dave will win Production this year at Area 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.40AET Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) Good job to everyone involved in taking the initial steps to making this important match happen! Thanks. Exactly! I'm both happy and proud of the guys who stepped up to the plate and made the A8 match happen. It's a big match with a lot of work envolved. Way to go!!!! Hey George....Match or not, you get my vote again. Thanks for all of your hard work. Edited February 6, 2006 by .40AET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mousekiller Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Beggars can't be to choosy.. geez.. this is great, and it's a weekend i'm NOT On call.. so that's even better.. Me like the rest of the general populace really enjoy seeing the top shooters shoot, hell they are just plain fun to watch if nothing else.. but is it gonna stop me that a couple of GM's aren't gonna be there ? NOPE.. .not one second.. I'd like to say thanks to the folks at the Club that stepped up to the plate to make it happen, and to George for hanging in there.. I've volunteered for a few things in my life and i know it's always the same, only a few folks take the stress of doing this stuff for the betterment of the many... and i find it incredible the way people treat them, until you've done what they have and given the time of your personal life the way they have then you should sit back and say THANKS every oppurtunity you can.. if you have done what they have done, gripe away... otherwise just keep silent.. Cya in August... Thanks again to the Club and George for putting this together. Jeff.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRNinTX Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 You don't have to tell me anything about volunteers or stepping up to the plate. I ran a local club for three years doing all the stage design, set up, tear down, scoring, securing props...you name it! I appreciate the club stepping up to the plate and taking on the challenge. George is a friend of mine, he took a lot of unmerited grief earlier, and I know he worked hard to make the match happen. My only point was that Steel Challenge is not on the map for most USPSA shooters and was probably not considered in the decision to have the match on the advertised date. Therefore, if the decision makers felt like it would enhance the A8 Championship to make a date change, early in the planning process was better than next week or two months from now when someone else noticed the conflict. If it can't be done then that is understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Would there be any conflicts if the Area 8 match was held on the weekend of 5 August. I think that weekend is pretty open. The only conflict I'm aware of is the Columbia Cascade Section match in Oregon. I doubt that's going to be much of a draw for Area 8 shooters.

Jake Di Vita Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Tim is spot on again. Maybe the club has restrictions...maybe there are very good reasons why it has to be on that weekend. If that is so, great. No problems. However if there is leeway in the matter, I really think the effort should be made for the area match to draw the best competition. Beggars being choosers? Hardly. I just like shooting against the best whenever I can. I thought that was the point of an area match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
