You are wrong! Hot or cold range, anytime a firearm is unattended at CR it is supposed to be flagged. Unattended to me is when it's not in your hand.
when a range is hot there is no need to have slides locked back or flags inserted...
That's a very interesting opinion.
I have no problem what so ever flagging an inactive firearm.
Frank is correct .......
as written in CR rules:Firearms that are not being handled or that are unattended must either be cased or have a safety flag installed in the open breech (NOT in the gun's muzzle)
The fundamental NRA rules for safe gun handling are:
1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances.
2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the side of the gun. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger.
3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
Whenever you pick up a gun, immediately engage the safety device if possible, and, if the gun has a magazine, remove it before opening the action and looking into the chamber(s) which should be clear of ammunition.
IMHO, it removes all doubt whether or
not a firearm has a round in the chamber
if the action is open and a flag( empty chamber indicator ) is properly installed

about 2 years ago steel ban was in effect
on the 100 yard rifle line
then it was lifted ,then we got steel targets
we restricted use of steel in those areas
only,now no restriction of steel core on
the steel targets
this applies only to the 100 yard rifle line.
all other ammo restrictions apply
-
1. when did this happen?(about 2 weeks ago)
2. I thought all steel core were designated as armor piercing. (yes and no)Can you explain the difference?(steel core that will go through armor plate,with a specific rockwell hardness is AP, please refer to federal and state law.)
3. So some ammo that sticks to the magnet on the 100-yard range is ok, but other ammo not?
(Disregard the magnet test....
it was to test for steel core.)
(a lot of AP will not stick to a magnet
AP can contain non-ferous metals that do not stick to a magnet yet will peirce through steel plate)
hope that helps,if not next time you are a the range have and RO check your ammo.
-
Update :steel core is no longer restricted on the 100 yard line steel targets
the following still applies
no armor piercing
no cartridge "hotter than" 7.62NATO ballistically
no cross firing on the steel
please speak with a RO if you need any clarification.
Thank You.

I went and measured the range from the center bench to the last target holder by
the berm 164feet.
-
You guys know I'm a big CR supporter.
But "LastShot" - can you do something about the cross wind at the 300yd range in the afternoon?
A Dome Perhaps ?
that my help, I'll get right on that

Frank, When ANJRPC had Volunteers running
the training program it was maybe 1or 2 times a year and the only thing that was "free"
was the volunteers time.
there was a charge for training.
if i recall when I took a course with them
at that time basic pistol was about $150
the volunteers did it to maintain there instructor certs as required by N-ra
-
Good Job!!!
Remember when the training was free done by volunteers?
What happened to that?
-
last time I measured , furthest point 48.5 yards
-
The Range Schedule for 9/22 thru 9/24 says SR closed for maintenance. SR doesn't match any of the abbreviations they show above the schedule. Could this be the silhouette range?
Sorry that was a typo it should have been
"SG"
-
nice! do youknow if the pistol one has a single dedicated port or several?
The "steel target" that is installed Is at port 26 on the pistol line it is currently
at 50 yards and should only be fired apon from port 26,Please no steel core ammo and
Nothing "hotter"than 44mag. so far responce has been positive and more are being considered.
if you are pleased with the steel targets
please send an email in.

is it possible to visit the range if you are not a member? i wouldn't even bring anything to shoot. i really want to make the trip there and back from my location (meadowlands) and see the range itself, see how the commute goes, etc. for the money it sounds like a good deal and a nice out of the way place to shoot.
not a problem,use the call box located at the front gate to gain access, go to the club house and someone can give you information about membership and give you a map of the property , Ear plugs are a good idea if you will be visiting the ranges.

up to .308.........I cast lead for my 45-70.....45 auto ...they not allowed...hmmmm.a gong at the 300 for frangibles/lead core .50's would be nice....oh wait this is n.j....and cr is scared.i follow the rules here but boy do I hate n.j. and all its sissy stuff.rant over....my 2c.
Tom, I feel your pain....
Your 45-70 is fine,
The plate rule is nothing "hotter" than
.308 ballisticly (in fact slugs are fine on the plate.12ga being aprox .54 cal.)
its a speed, possible riccoshay thing....
Steel on the high power range ?
I do not think we will ever see it,
but how knows, I never thought steel
would be on the ranges at all.
-
The restrictions are more than just no steel core. Ask an RO. There is a whole sheet with allowed bullet types[/quote
correct .50 has specific allowable projectiles that are can be shot on the 300 yard line on specified dates and times
no steel core or penatrator for other calibers.
I must say: I'm not here to have a pissin'match with y'all,I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the club rules I am just reporting how they are.
please take it that way.
-
Tom,.50 cal restrictions apply,no steel core in any caliber on the high power line
(200-300 line)
-
The range currently has a plate that is
on the 100 yard line, it can be fired apon
from the specific section as indicated by
signage above the 4 ports with rifles up to .308,please varify you are not shooting any steel core or steel jacketed bullets.
more plates are planed and are in production as read this, you should see more within 6-9 months.
there is currently a plate on the pistol line at 50 yards,to be fired apon from port 26. again varify no steel bullets.
sorry,No run and gun in the ranges current
config. and only paper targets allowed,unless placed by the range.

If the 1st Sunday is not posible,please
contact the facility manager to arrange
a weekday orientation. 973-764-4100
-
I was told that you have to go on the first Sunday of the month in order to sign up there. Is that true? Working weekends makes it near impossible for me. I wish there was some other way as I've always wanted to try this place out.
-
Please Note: This weekend all ranges will be Closed for maintenance.
April 26 and 27 ,work weekend all members are welcome to help improve the range
Hot lunch will be served both days
-
For the record,I was only stating the fact that every range that we shoot at has rules that we shoot
under,It is not my intention to infringe on anyone's 1st amendment rights,nor was I directing my comments to any one person.
I was stating facts.
if you feel you were personally attacked this was not my intent.

And this makes perfect sense on the rimfire range where all the targets that are there are steel. Again, rules, make no sense. Furthermore, if I setup a REGULATION target stand dimensions as per CR's own rules, on the rimfire range I WILL be shooting ABOVE the berm, or the trap.
as a mater of fact that would also be in violation of the range rules that state that all your shoots must impact the berms/traps .
as a responsible firearms owner that follows the most basic firearms rules "always know your target and what is beyond"
you would not have a problem using the stated frame.
The only constant IMHO is the folks here that have a bitch here are those that feel that range rules (that you agreed to when you joined) do not apply to you and you get your feelings hurt if someone calls you on it.
