lunker 274 Posted May 25, 2010 I am definitely headed to Ft Dix this Friday. Anybody interested? Also, I get conflicting reports about the hours for Friday since the range is only open that day for part of the year. Can anyone confirm? Wednesday 1-8pm Friday 8am-4pm or 1pm-8pm Saturday & Sunday 8am-4pm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bry@n 195 Posted May 25, 2010 Chris, I took Friday off to go shoot at Coliers Mills with the local PD guys. I might have to stop by and join Dix. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbk 188 Posted May 25, 2010 Range 14 has Friday hours from April til... December? Something like that, so, regardless they're open on Fridays now and for the summer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lunker 274 Posted May 25, 2010 Range 14 has Friday hours from April til... December? Something like that, so, regardless they're open on Fridays now and for the summer. Yup. I got that part. I just don't know whether it's like Wednesday hours (1-8) or weekend hours (8-4pm). If anyone ism not a member of Ft Dix and wants to try it out, let me know and I can guest you in. I think I am limited to two guests though, so let me know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbk 188 Posted May 25, 2010 Ah, my bad. I read the first part, and not the second. The hours are 1-8PM for Fridays. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbk 188 Posted May 25, 2010 I'm probably going to make it out on Sunday (given they're open). My best friend wants to invite a mutual friend of ours out to the range. It'd be her first time, I believe, and Sunday is the only day everyone is available... so, probably going to save myself the drive and ammo for that day.

lunker 274 Posted May 27, 2010 Calling all shooters. Join me and bry@n at Fort Dix on Friday! You going @ 1 or later? I am open to suggestions, but I am leaning towards 1pm. I feel like the traffic may be brutal later on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. At least I'll be heading north on the Parkway when I leave. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lunker 274 Posted May 28, 2010 Maks, As long as the weather is not a complete shitshow tomorrow, I am going. A little drizzle is OK by me, especially since I am tied up all weekend. Bryan, No problem. I can guest you in, and at least one other person (maybe two). I forget whether it's two or three guest limit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbk 188 Posted May 28, 2010 Glad to be of assistance I was wondering the same thing, as I'm going to be guesting in three this weekend, and spent a good 10 minutes searching for that brochure as I had remembered it saying something... alas, good news Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lunker 274 Posted May 28, 2010 Good time at the range today. No fruit or water bottle was safe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbk 188 Posted May 28, 2010 I wish I could have gone today. The weather held up nicely, and it wasn't all that hot. This is an off-topic question, but can you fire shotguns on the 'rifle' range at Range 14? I don't want to do trap or skeet, just want to run my shotgun through its paces for the time being. I always hear them say over the PA that if someone shot shotgun, they should pick up their shells-- so, I'm assuming its good to go. I just don't want to start firing off some shot, and than get a verbal beatdown from any ROs (as I enjoy the place now). Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben, I shot 20-25 slugs last time I was there, no problem with shotgun on the rifle range. Like to meet up with you again there. Shane And Lunker............... Work has been crazy, looking forward to shooting with you soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbk 188 Posted May 29, 2010 Thanks for the info. I'm sure we'll find the time as I should be frequenting Range 14 a decent amount this summer as I really have not much else to do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bry@n 195 Posted May 29, 2010 If your shooting shotgun, I believe you need to pick up your shells. That is all we heard all day. Thanks again Chris for taking us. I had a great time and shooting the Garand was fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Regulator72 80 Posted May 29, 2010 Had a blast yesterday, went thru a bunch of ammo (thats why we buy it right?) blew some stuff up, thanks to Chris for guesting us in and bringing the produce and sharing his stuff... Oh, and thanks to Bry@n for the hickie on my neck... I get up yesterday morning, load all my gear, my wife asks, where are you going??? I say, Ft. Dix shooting with a couple of buddies, she gives me dirty look.. I go, have fun, come home with a hickie looking mark on my neck, she asks, WHATS THAT??? :oops: I say, it's from hot brass.. She asks, WHO THE HELL IS HOT BRASS????? I knew you weren't going shooting!! I guess being 5 months pregnant she gets a bit suspect, stupid hormones... :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
