Hello Folks,

Anybody know anything about this place, any experience? It is up north Jersey.

Is it a range? training center?       I did view the web site. Looks expensive.  Guess I am looking for hands on info.

Thanks.

I have been lucky enough to shoot there one time. A friend was an employee at their pro shop and worked some magic.

It is very, very expensive. The kind of expensive where you don't apply to be a member - you may be invited to apply if you are lucky.

Even then, I'm told the annual dues are in the thousands.

It is very, very, very nice there, though. think exclusive country club, but with shooting ranges instead of golf.

They used to have several locations, in both NJ and CT if I remember correctly, but now one one. They are partnered with Hudson Farms, which is the gun club mentioned above. Also, as mentioned, both the club and gun shop are very expensive.

I visited their Bernardsville store several times before they closed. In addition to manufacturing their own line of guns, they also had a very impressive lineup of other brands (both new and used). Many of which ran into 6 figure territory.

Their gunsmiths are considered to be some of the very best, at least in NJ.

Heard is very nice and as stated very expensive, way to rich for my blood.

I'll stick with NJ Gun club for my trap shooting and Clove for sporting clays, and Clinton when we get together.

if I want to splurge I might try Orvis in Westchester.

two of my sons were invited guests to shoot the 900yd. range and both did very well....their buddy is a member and the cost to shoot / membership is for the elite..........with elite bank accounts.

I've heard the same.

I'd love to shoot there one time just to say I did, but otherwise I'm content to shoot at Cherry Ridge, Sheepdog Warrior, and various other places where the "common man" can afford to roam...

I may be wrong but the figure $600.00 I sort of remember..............need to go on their web site and check out the pricing.

I actually did my Hunter's Field Test for my Hunting license up there. Extremely nice place, but very expensive. The fact that they have a dress code and helipad there tells me there's no way I'd be able to afford the place.
