SCFGPA forum meet

[ah141nj 0]

Hi Guys,

 

It seems that are several forum members that are also SCFGPA members or want to be members.

 

How about a regular meet up there? Weekly, bi-monthly or even monthly? It would be a good way of meeting fellow NJGF members & introducing the range to non range members.

 

Any interest?

Since I live close I would like to see the place.

GlennP will be here in a few minutes once he finds out about this thread. But too far for me.

You go 202 south past Wegmans, go down the hill under the bridge, hang a right, go down a couple miles and its on the left right before a sharp turn. I've shot IDPA there and Glenn and I shot at the underground 100yd range. I guess we are getting past the hot part of the year... the indoor temps are pretty brutal during the summer.

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

I shoot there 1-3 times a week so anyones welcome to join me sometime, its free for guests.

[Jon 264]

I'm in for any meets there provided I'm not working

[Krdshrk 3,877]

What days do you normally go?

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

I'm really close so I go at random. Usually weekday evenings except friday nights

I was there with Glenn last night. I mailed my letter to be put on the waiting list today. *fingers crossed* hope they make me a member soon. it took me exactly 3 minutes to get there.. pulled out of my house 8:20pm, pulled into SCF&G lot at 8:23pm. I'm down to meet up there some weekend, since I work nights, nights is difficult for me.... I'll have to take time off from work just to attend the few mandatory meetings.

[Krdshrk 3,877]

What are the club fees?

[fliks 20]

Glenn told me it's somewhere around $90, but he's a student and gets a different rate anyway. Al, perhaps you could elaborate. I'm interested in knowing for sure also. and how does the whole "work day" thing work? do you get any $ credit for it? is there an "initiation fee"?

To px4Storm:

 

Did you take a gun safety class already? I know that is requried. I sent an email to the organization asking about that, but never got a response back.

[fliks 20]

HAHAHAAH I never got a response to my email to the either, so I was glad when some forum members told me they were members of SCF&G and Glenn was nice enough to take me there last night. Yah, I took the NRA FIRST STEPS Pistol course, so that qualifies for training. I joined the NRA 3 hours after buying my first gun a month ago today I actually mailed the letter asking to be put on their waiting list.

[jgofnj 5]

Since I live in the same area (Hillsborough), where did you take that course. I can't seem to find anyplace close by.

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

Hunters ed counts as training, it is free, and I teach it :mrgreen: so thats the easiest.

 

The rates are 90-95 bucks or something. with a $40ish credit for doing 1+ workday(s), it lands you at $50-55 bucks a year. I think thats how it works. There is an initiation fee, it may be upwards of an additional $100.

[jgofnj 5]

In terms of the wait list to join, do you need to wait for someone to quite or no longer be a member before they allow a new member to join? About how long is the wait list?

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

No. Waitlist is approx 2 months.

[jgofnj 5]

That's good to know. So how do I go about taking the hunters ed course? Is this through Somerset County?

Just had to

[fliks 20]

not funny Glenn... I googled it, ok... I'm gonna go to Effinger's and get the video...it's free, right. and then I'll do the workbook... and go for the outing, I guess that's with you, right. I should have my shotgun by then... and I go hunt me some deer.... I'll grind it up and tell the wife it's cow HAHAHAHAHAHA :twisted:

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

LOL its an awesome trick 8-)

 

Yeah, efingers will have the book and DVD. FYI you arent required to have a shotgun for the course. We have state guns you can use for free. Keeps your gun nice n clean

[jgofnj 5]

To get the NJ Hunters safety Firearms card, do you need to take all three courses (Bow, Shotgun & Rifle)? Or can you just take Shotgun?

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

You can take any course(s) youde like. Shotgun is the easiest and is the one I teach so you should do that

[sirsloop 1]

You wanna see pink frothy blooooooodddddd!!!

[ah141nj 0]

So, now that the fees & training are covered....

 

Do you guys want to set up a meet?

 

I am sure Glennp would be down for a group shoot. The later you go at night, the less crowded it can be.

 

Members & non members are all welcome.

 

By the way, I do remember that the range offered the NRA First Steps class free to new members. That will qualify you for training & meet the membership requirements.

 

The work day is really no big deal. 9- 12, maybe 1. Nothing usually major. Housekeeping & maintenance mostly.

[fliks 20]

I'm down for a meet. I'm sure I can sneak away for an hour even during my busy weekends. I've been dying to take my dad to shoot. they come visit every other Sunday from Staten Island. I might leave that for when I'm actually a member myself. For now, I'd love to meet more guys from the forum and fire off a few rounds.

[ah141nj 0]

So, what happened guys??
