Looking for a place to shoot

[87 Cam 2]

Anyone in Mercer County shoot on their own land and want some company?

I wish. I'm in Ewing and the closest places I get to shoot are Ft. Dix and Classic Pistol (in Southampton, PA). Nice to dream, though...

Good luck with that in Mercer County. I doubt any municipality in Mercer allows it except for legal hunting in season.

[Maksim 1,504]

Last I checked, every town in mercer county had discharge laws. Ft. Dix and Central Jersey are the best places. There is Citizens Revolver and Pistol Club in West Windsor too.

Lets try this than. Looking for a place to shoot close to Mercer County. I currently go to Fort Dix and Pistol People but im just tired of having to wait 2 hours at Fort Dix and than only get to shoot for 1 hour.

When do you have to wait 2 hours at Dix?

 

Unless you get there at 9 am or 10 am on the weekend, there is typically no wait. Either get there 30 mins before opening, or go later on in the day, around 1 or 2 pm.

 

If you shoot alot, then highly recommend going and joining Central Jersey Rifle & Pistol Club.

I belong to Central Jersey and it is a very nice facility. It also is not that far from Mercer County for the OP.

[87 Cam 2]

I usually try to get to Fort Dix 30 minutes before but last time we ran a little late and had to wait 2 hours.

 

As for CJRPC, I dont shoot enough to pay their higher fees, and I usually go with a few people.

[notmetoo 41]

Ft. Dix is close to parts of Mercer, but is a nuisance to get to for some of us (and I used to commute to McGuire). I've also had to wait up to two hours at Range 14 because of timing. And like 87 Cam, I don't currently shoot enough to pay for Central Jersey, but I'm starting to consider it because they have better hours.

 

One place close to Mercer is Falls Township Rifle and Pistol Association (http://www.ftrpa.com/) - but their membership is currently full and closed. Plus, I believe they are more expensive than Central Jersey Rifle & Pistol Club.

You may want to consider looking to the west, to free America. You have Falls Twp., Langhorne and Bucks County F&G all have clubs within 20 minutes of Mercer County. Falls has a waiting list - not sure about the other two. Not cheap, but not too bad, given the area. Be prepered for things like number of rounds in the mag and no rapid fire rules - again, seems to be the norm for this area. Langhorne was probably the most forward thinking, esp in regard to EBR's, but I think there was a coop of some sort there last year and they aren't quite the "go to" club for tactical shoots that they once were - still may be the best of the three, if that sort of stuff floats your boat.

 

Adios,

Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club is the best... With very little effort I reduced my dues to $150.00 and $100.00 the past two years.

I expect to pay no more than $100.00 for next year also. With a little effort Your dues could be ZERO. :icon_exclaim:

Your first year is as bad as it gets. To join this April you will need $400.00 up front and then make four quarterly payments of $50.00.

During the year, ten hours volunteer work will get you $50.00 off next year's dues.

For every new member you refer you will get $50.00 off next year's dues.

Attend a measly four meetings and you get $50.00 off next year's dues.

 

Anyone that would like to sample the club can contact me or just about any member and they would be happy to show you around. They will earn a $50.00 discount if you sign up.

[87 Cam 2]

Are those discounts only good for one year, than jump back up the year after?

Yes the discounts are only good for that year. But you can do the same stuff every year.

NJJim, how do you like the CJ R & P Club? That isn't too far from me, especially compared to Brick. My parents live right around the corner so I can also go visit them before/after. I spent some time on their website looking-around. It isn't cheap, but if the place is good I would consider it.

[Maksim 1,504]

I will most definitely be joining in either April or May. If you shoot any events, and help out after, such as USPSA, (and probably rifle, pistol and steel matches), you get work credit.

Yup, if you can get through the first year you are golden. I think it is definitely worth it compared to other places I have been a member.

So, I guess I need to go hang out at my parents house in Millstone and bring my "stuff" with me.
