How far to your home range?

Recommended Posts

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?

Also look into Wicen`s Farm. They are very Safety oriented with a lot of RO`s and there is no membership. Its a daily fee. Nice place. I ve been going there once in a while for years. Not Far from Tanner`s Firearms Shop.

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.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
