Where to Shoot in South Jersey?

[Kaiser7 33]

SJSC..... Square Circle Sportsmen Club in Gibbsboro.... Telco in Atco.

 

They all have their issues, but are significantly better then hagues.

 

I've heard Square Circle is nice, but they're a real pain in the a** to get into. My brother in law tried asking a member about joining, but they refused to even give any information about it. From what I've heard they're very hard to get into, which is a shame, because they're one of the closest ranges to me.

I like Hagues as one can use high power rifles there, clean and people are pretty darn helpful However, I just noticed this on their site:

 

"Hague's welcomes Department of Homeland Security (ICE) to our membership rolls. Let's all welcome these fine officers to our great facility."

 

Should this be of concern?

 

 

What would be the concern?

[Arbelest 29]

The only concern with Hagues is their prices. For a 25 yard range its a bit on the expensive side, but the facility is well maintained, they do have a shop there if you need anything, and you can't take your brass home(only a porblem if your reload your own ammo or save it for scrap). I believe they charge 400? a year for use of their range a discount to their store and you can bring your own ammo to shoot. USANA is cheaper then that and offers a lot more.

I fully understand this. I was responding to the person asking if he should be concerned now that the Depatment of Homeland Security is a member of Hague's. Not sure I understand why he's asking if this should be a concern.

[Arbelest 29]

I know what you ment, I was trying to make a little joke, but I am the only person that likes my humor.

[Shawnmoore81 623]

I won't go anywhere near hauges. Their prices are redicilous. I shoot at the Salem county sportsman's club but it's hard to get in. Also quinton Sportsman's club. As far as a range that sells ammo bobs little sports shop is a good one.

 

Where are you south jersey guys from? I live in Carneys point

Do they allow trailers (TT) or just tent camping?

[hd2000fxdl 422]

No not yet, I'm only 18.. I live with my mom and sister while I'm in college and neither appreciate my humor.

 

Consider it practice for when you do..

[Shawnmoore81 623]

Trailers are fine. Ive camped in pop up campers a few times there and have seen a veriety of diff types of campers back there.

[Shawnmoore81 623]

As far as camping time length is no longer then 2 weeks at a time just for the fact they don't want people living there.

[this_is_nascar 162]

Understood. Thanks.

[Arbelest 29]

Whats the price on joining over there I checked their website out but only didn't see a reference to dues, just that they have them. I am looking for a place to do some trap and skeet shooting.

[Shawnmoore81 623]

If you want shoot shoot trap with out paying dues m&m sporting preserve is a good spot.

 

As far as the scsc it's between $300 and $400 if I remember correctly. Ill know shortly when i get this years bill. And a 1 time building fee that was like $300-$400. Their was like a 10 year waiting list but with the economy the way it is I can't imagine it's that long anymore.

[MikeK77 8]

Im shocked no one mentioned "Bob's" in Glassboro...that place is always mobbed.

[Shawnmoore81 623]

I did mention them

[Arbelest 29]

Thanks for the info on MM sporting preserve.

[Shawnmoore81 623]

Mm is great. Even though I'm a member at scsc I still go to mm. They have a great facility and it's really easy to use

[axeman_g 128]

For skeet and trap I also recomend

 

Pine Valley Trap Club in Pine Hill

I don't know, I really don't trust these huge government agencies. Thought it was kind of odd, that's all. Kind of like the TSA...

[axeman_g 128]

DHS is made up of the 8 major organizations listed below. I happen to work for one of them, and if you think you should be more worried about these agencies while at Hagues or because of your membership at Hagues, you need to loosen the tinfoil hat a bit and stop watching youtube videos.

 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP)

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

Transportation Security Administration (TSA)

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)

U.S. Coast Guard

U.S. Secret Service

Office of Inspector General

That's why I asked "should I be concerned"? Enough of the tinfoil hat BS for legitimate concerns, all I asked was a question. Have you seen the news lately? My goodness...

[Andrew 0]

I could see the concern if someone was a terrorist , illegal alien or something along those lines , but other than that what could be the problem ? Just dont see it .

I'm more likely to be glad different law enforcement agencies are there .

[Shawnmoore81 623]

I personally prefer empty ranges
