Can a member call ahead and set aside some lanes? By Wednesday we should know how many lanes to get.

 

I can call tomorrow when their office opens at 1pm.

Based on the list above I'll try to get 4 lanes for this Sunday (17th). Is 8am - 12noon ok?

[Dan 177]

Can move me into the "am going" category.

[Krdshrk 3,877]

Thanks, nred. I think Lunker may call but we'll see. If you get around to it first that would be great. I have a whole bunch of people coming with me now, apparently. Phew.

Will I be able to attend this if I don't have and FID yet and need to be guested in?

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Put me on the no-go list

 

I'm sorry for starting a meet-up that I can't attend but this is really more important.

[nred 5]

I just called and they told me that the rifle range is first come first serve only - no reservations. You can only reserve lanes for the pistol range.

[lunker 274]

That is BS. We did it last year. I suspect they weren't happy afterwards and don't do it any more. Thanks for calling though.

[nred 5]

Yeah, I guess we just have to get there before 8am.

[lunker 274]

I usually show up at 7:30 to be safe. It is a drag getting there that early on a Sunday morning.

[nred 5]

I'll be there at 7:30. Weather.com says there's a 30% of rain on Sunday. Not really a problem for me.

[Krdshrk 3,877]

Sure! Don't be a stranger!

[bbk 188]

I won't be able to make it. Enjoy the range day, fellows and ladies.

[Karatenurse 11]

will try to be there as close to 8am.

[Shocker 150]

So me being a non-member do I just wait somewhere until a member shows up to guest me? Or the RO only goes around checking badges from time to time?

To get a lane you need to sign up in the front office. In order to do this you need to be a member or be a guest of a member. I would just get to Ft Dix early and join up with someone who is a member. I would be happy to guest you in.

If you live anywhere close, you might want to consider joining. It is a great place to shoot.

[Krdshrk 3,877]

I'm going to join up, but again I'll have a bunch of guests with me. Looks like at least 5 if not more.. lol. I hope you guys can guest 'em in

[Turbotezza 1]

No disrespect intended, but shouldn't the 'guest' spots be made available to forum members first?

[Krdshrk 3,877]

Of course. But looking at the count, it looks like we'll be ok.

I'm an hour away but if it's fun enough maybe I'll think about joining anyway. I drive that far to work and that's no fun at all.

 

I guess I'll just go straight to the lanes and look for some evil black rifles?

[lunker 274]

Trust me, it'll be fun. It's an hour away for me too, but i make a point of going once a month. Evil Black rifles, Mosins, Garands, M1As, SKS, AK clones. We are a diverse bunch.

[Dan 177]

I'm not worried about the "guesting thing". I would just like to know what to do when I arrive. I was there once before a long time ago, and I don't remember the process, where to pay, prices, etc.

[Krdshrk 3,877]

$3/hour per person. There's a building near the range that you'll see (and we can point out to you) where you can go to pay.

You shouldn't have any problems. There is only one main building, and that's where you pay and get assigned a lane. It's also where people meet out front. The folks who work there are nice, with the exception of the old codger that walks around trying to steal people's brass. He's a grumpus. He might not even work there for all I know.

I don't think he does.

[RecessedFilter 222]

Not sure if they allow them at Fort Dix, but I'm sure buying a bunch of those exploding targets sold at Cabela's would be a fun time for all you guys.

[Shocker 150]

Oh yeah, do we bring our own targets? Frames?

[tbtrout 141]

No exploding targets.

 

 

They sell targets there, bring an e tool if you have one.

[XDJohnTact 49]

Tim, what is an e tool? (sorry for the stupid question)

[bry@n 195]

if you guys wanna use my member card, just stop by and get it. Im only 10 minutes away. I will be digging my footings for my deck so.....

 

PM me if you need my card

[Caine 147]

It makes your life easier when trying to dig holes for your target stands
