There's something you don't see in NJ... a TV commercial for a shooting range.

 

Looks like a nice place. I'd be up for a day trip.

We would have to get there early before all the tourists get there to play with all the rental guns... which wouldnt directly effect us, since they use other bays...

 

but there are plenty of people arrive from NY to fire there assault weapons.....lol

 

First time there..... you pay a fee, go thru a short safety briefing with a RO, and once they are comfortable with you..... you are free to carry-on.....

I generally like the range and their rentals are a good way to get some actual trigger time with guns you're thinking about buying.

 

However, they do have a policy that irks me - they will not sell ammunition to you if you do not have a PA driver's license, or at least they wouldn't last time I went.

 

I wanted to break in my new shotgun, but had only brought 00 buck with me. Turns out 00 buck is too "heavy" for the skeet range (I can understand that, they don't want pellets raining down on neighbors a mile away), and you can only shoot slugs on the "ported" ranges.

 

They wouldn't sell me either slugs or target loads for the skeet range. Luckily my GF's dad who lives in PA was with us, so he bought the ammo and handed it to me. :roll:

Me either....there is all kinds of different stuff. I generally dont look into things that much although I probably should. unfortunatly I dont have the patience. My purchases usually consist of...comfortable? Goes bang when you pull the trigger? Looks cool? SOLD!

Honestly my favorite public shooting range in NJ... ;) The rentals are really expensive but the staff is friendly and relaxed. I wish the lanes were a bit wider and more open space, I feel kinda couped up in there sometimes.

 

NJ? The place is in Pa. =P

I used to go there fairly often. At the time, they had retractable targets on manual pullies, so you could change targets quickly. They've since gotten rid of that. Now they have electronic pullies, and you have to pay extra to use them.

 

On the static (not retractable) targets, they tell you to shoot at only one, so that other shooters have something to shoot at. I have not been back since (about 2 or 3 years now).

 

I've never rented any of their guns, but I might go back to try some out. Perhaps even this week, since I took the last of my vacation time. The Springfield XD and the H&K MP5 are two that I'd like to try out.

There is a free range about 1 hour from the toll bridge in Carbon County just outside of Jim Thorpe that has handgun at 25 yards and various distances for rifles up to 300 yards. PM me for the info if interested.

Being retired , I NEVER go anyplace on a weekend. Have always enjoyed shooting at Sunset Hills. My only gripe is that they now have prohibited reloads. Don't know if this is for insurance purposes or they just want to sell more of their own ammo, but as a reloader it sure defeats my cost savings.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By raz-0 · Posted

      In 50 years of living in NJ I've never experienced any attempt to inspect the interior of the home, and only one definite inspection of the exterior for an announced reassessment of all properties and that was a drive by. About 9 years of that was living in an apartment, but still, uncommon. Every place I lived had either a finished attic, basement, or both. But they were also included in the habitable square footage on the taxes when we got there.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      27.00 and change in tolls to drive down the shore from Rutherford,  47.00 in tolls to go out to Long island to visit dying relatives. Now I read they are going to raise the fees in the DMV. Murphy lied just to get elected when he said that seniors will get a significant tax break with his StayNJ" program to stop us from leaving.   Keep voting for democrats...this is what you get.  Tax and spend is all they know.  Never cut anything.  This state sucks.

      I get the added benefit that since I have a TSP rather than a true 401(k) they tax my retirement too. Yaaaay!
