gunnarsport 13 Posted October 2, 2015 Hi, After a long layoff from my initial jump into shooting and owning back in 2011, I got a bug again and this time I would love to join a range. As many may know here, I am in Robbinsville (Mercer Co). I took the NRA Basic Pistol course at CRRC in West Windsor. At that time, I was NOT at all impressed with their facilties. To my eyes, it appeared rather old and run down, almost like it has never been remodeled or updated since the 70s! I certainly realized it may have ben updated or modernized in the past four years. Are there current CRRC members here who can enlighten about this? So than CRRC can remain an option as I may give them another look. Besides CRRC, I have Range 14 and CJRPC in Jackson. I think CJRPC may be a bit out of my budget for their initial start up fee and than annual membership costs. Langhorne Gun Club in Bucks County is close too, but I believe you need to go on a waiting list, as they currently are no full memership capacity. I am an educated professional and would much rather join a club geared towards families, professionalism and respect. I am very turned off by the 21 year old who goes and shoots with friends and holds and shoot sideways and does the whole ganster thing with their Glock, covered in tatoos and body piercings. Sorry, I dont know how to describe it gently without offending. I was really wondering exactly just how far (miles) do guys (or girls) drive to their home ranges? Who here has the longest drive time from their home to their home range? To me, it seems like RTSP is the model range/gunshop in NJ, but they are about a 1 1/2 drive, probably too far, I would think?

I ve been going there once in a while for years. Not Far from Tanner`s Firearms Shop. http://www.wicenshootingrange.com/ i currently shoot at Easton Fish and Game in Easton,PA and i drive 40min to get there.

Zack 17 Posted October 2, 2015 It's about 35 minutes the CJRPC for me. Don't be too put off by the initial capital fee there, they'll let you make that in 4 quarterly payments if you want to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MedicYeti 96 Posted October 2, 2015 20 minutes to the property. I have to go through 2 locked gates and lock them behind me so it's an additional 10 minutes until I'm parked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BullzeyeNJ 104 Posted October 2, 2015 10 min to GFH. 15 min to Riverdale. 30 min to Cherry Ridge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10X 3,131 Posted October 2, 2015 15 minutes to Riverdale or North Jersey Clay Target Club. 45 minutes to Cherry Ridge or Somerset. Yes, it's a lot of clubs-but I can't get all of the range features I want with fewer, unless I drive much further...and then I'd have less time for shooting.
