"For old time mid Atlantic shooters the PJ O’Hare gun store and range in Roseland, New Jersey was a favorite for many years until it closed in the mid 1980s. The business was started by Patrick J. O’Hare in the early 1900s. From time to time matches would be halted at railroad cars would be shuttled past behind the impact area. After Paddy’s death his son Francis ran the business with the assistance of noted Randle Team member Winnie Carr.The soft-spoken Paddy O’Hare of the Irish brogue was better known to the shooting fraternity at large than any other of the thousands who have left their mark on the target shooting game of this country. He was the Al Freeland of his time. O’Hare never missed a firing of the National Matches since their inception in 1903 until he passed away in 1938. At Camp Perry, Paddy’s ruddy, friendly face became an institution.O’Hare came to America before the turn of the last century and his shooting career dated far back of the first National Match in 1903. It was a time when small bore shooting was unknown and when it developed he was selected as a member of the first U.S. Dewar team.Born in Ireland, Paddy’s life bridged a significant period of U.S. target shooting history. His 71 years spanned the growth from Creedmoor to Camp Perry, from the Krag to the Garand, and the Golden Age of smallbore.Best known to the non-traveling element of the shooting fraternity through the familiar yellow-backed catalog of shooters’ supplies, in which were listed all of the little gadgets that no one else could supply, most notably the O’Hare Micrometer without which no self respecting ‘03 rifleman would be seen. Paddy’s late years were spent as an importer and manufacturer of shooting equipment."
