BrunoJLucarelli 0 Posted February 27, 2015 Soon-to-be target shooter here! I'm Bruno, and I'm currently a freshman at Rutgers University studying computer science. Applied for my FID a month ago, should be hearing back by early April. I've been using 4chan's /k/ board for a long time to talk about guns and have been reading up on guns/book knowledge for a while, but it seems that this forum is pretty good for any NJ-related questions. I'm surprised anybody in this state owns guns! Can't wait to get my FID so that I can get a Ruger 10/22 and maybe a Mosin Nagant later on! In the meantime, feel free to ask me any time if you have any questions you think I can answer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrunoJLucarelli 0 Posted February 27, 2015 Rutgers New Brunswick or Piscataway? Don't forget Reddit /r/guns as a resource too... New Brunswick! Though technically my dorm is in Piscataway (Busch Campus). You may have just given me a compelling reason to use Reddit! Thanks. Welcome. My son attends Rutgers. Glad to see young people getting into the sport. Your son attends Rutgers? What's he studying? Also, thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krdshrk 3,871 Posted February 27, 2015 I used to live in New Brunswick - still have my place there but my dad's living there now. It's good that you're trying to start up a club. Unfortunately there aren't really any public shooting ranges in close proximity. The closest ranges would probably Somerset County Fish & Game in Bridgewater (Closed membership) and Old Bridge Rifle & Pistol Clubs (Open for membership but pricey).

Unfortunately there aren't really any public shooting ranges in close proximity. The closest ranges would probably Somerset County Fish & Game in Bridgewater (Closed membership) and Old Bridge Rifle & Pistol Clubs (Open for membership but pricey). I actually e-mailed Somerset County Fish & Game last night, and received a reply this morning saying that they aren't taking any new members. It's really unfortunate, but it's better than losing their members due to enforcing higher prices/requirements. : ( Nice to see someone else from New Brunswick! : D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matty 810 Posted February 28, 2015 Good to see, I am RU Alum EE. I think there's more students in Sciences willing to get into shooting. Try to take some of the foreign born folks along with you when you get your trips organized. Also /r/Firearms & /r/guns as mentioned. One nit pick, its FPID as the card entitles you to *purchase* firearms (and now some ammo) in NJ. It is not required to own or possess same at home Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gleninjersey 2,134 Posted March 1, 2015 Welcome. Will you storing the firearm off campus? I would assume Rutgers frowns upon having them on campus / dorms. It may be a bit of a drive but you may want to look into Easton Game & Fish Association. 1st exit off 78 once you get into PA. Very affordable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
