Thanks for the helpful responses!
I am looking into all of the suggestions and reaching out to the clubs for more info.
My time at CR convinced me to go "full spectrum" so now I shoot pistol, rimfire, shotgun/clays, archery, and centerfire. I have a NJ rifle, shotgun and bowhunting permit but have never been on a hunt as my friends from home are not into game...just guns. I just put a free-floated target AR together for distance shooting so the 300 yard ranges are attractive at the big clubs......but proximity and price are certainly considerations so I have some more homework to do.
I want to thank you again. Wherever I end up I really look forward to making some new friends and becoming a better marksman. So far my interactions on this board have been helpful and rewarding; I can't wait to join a club again!
