SW9racer 262 Posted May 22, 2012 Can you shoot a 9mm carbine like the storm on the indoor range or in the pits? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qel Hoth 33 Posted May 22, 2012 Can you shoot a 9mm carbine like the storm on the indoor range or in the pits? Indoor range is a no, pits yes, with restrictions. You have to have a special use badge and the velocity can be no more than 1000 ft/s with lead bullets only, according to CJ's site. http://www.cjrpc.com/index.cfm?wpid=14 EDIT - 1000ft/s doesn't make much sense to me. Some handguns will get their shots over 1000ft/s... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SW9racer 262 Posted May 22, 2012 For the outdoor rifle and pistol ranges, is there a minimum target distance? For example, if I am shooting on the rifle range and also want to mix in some pistol, can I set up my target stands at 100, 50 and 15? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJDrew1 0 Posted May 22, 2012 I live close by and if you wanna check it out during the week, pm me and I will take you over. Even better Bry@n. I'll PM you later in the week. I'm eager to see your club. I appreciate your offer to take me over during the week. Thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smokin .50 1,907 Posted May 22, 2012 For the outdoor rifle and pistol ranges, is there a minimum target distance? For example, if I am shooting on the rifle range and also want to mix in some pistol, can I set up my target stands at 100, 50 and 15? Hopefully NOT! Most Clubs make you put your target stands up against the berms, and for good reason! It's all about your "Cone of Fire" and how bullets impact the ground and can skip or ricochet up over the berms. RULES aren't there to piss you off, they're there for SAFETY. Not sayin' that you're not the exception who actually looks to see where the rounds impact behind the target frames, but I've seen plenty of lazy knuckleheads get chewed-out for placing frames mid-range and then standing-up to shoot them. The RULES protect us all from the Knuckleheads' rounds that could skip over the berms! Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SW9racer 262 Posted May 22, 2012 At Dix the berm is way in the back, and the target stands can be setup at multiple distances, same for Easton, same for Shongum. So this is not the case at CJ? I would only be able to shoot pistol at 25/50, and rifle at either 200 or 300? So why is this club so popular and has over 2500 members? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lunker 274 Posted May 22, 2012 Target stands must be 6 feet tall so there are no richochets off the ground. You may set up targets at different distances. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SW9racer 262 Posted May 22, 2012 That makes sense. So what was Dave taking about, has he been to cj? Anyway, does the CJ clubhouse have wifi access? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smokin .50 1,907 Posted May 22, 2012 Target stands must be 6 feet tall so there are no richochets off the ground. You may set up targets at different distances. Having high target stands ONLY can enable rounds to impact the berm correctly. Where folks get into trouble is bringing old election signs (or other short items) to use as target backers, then pushing their wire prongs into the ground so that the bull is only a foot off of the ground. CJ supplies HIGH Targets Stands. At Old Bridge folks bring all shapes and sizes, so the "NO mid-range Targets Rule" is enforced. So just be aware of where you are so you abide by the local Rules. I just didn't want anyone to get into trouble thinking that all ranges are the same. Some won't even let you carry unloaded in a holster...... Have a good night!

SW9racer 262 Posted May 22, 2012 Got it. So, with CJ having over 2700 members, how does it not get crowded on Saturdays? Do they have any plans to limit membership in the future? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bry@n 195 Posted May 23, 2012 Not everyone comes out all the time, there is a lot of people that die off or just stop paying their dues. There is a certain amount of turn over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vzguy 13 Posted May 23, 2012 Last meeting I went to there was about 300 members that their FOB's were turned off. But there has been a steady stream of new members coming in. So it balances out. But never had to wait for the pits or a lane in the indoor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bry@n 195 Posted May 27, 2012 There is talk now of actually limiting membership. They are concerned they may get too many members and not have the facilities. Was in the last communication Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
