Fairfield NJ Trap range

[Rob0115 1,105]

They only allow steel shot there?  Anyone here frequent that location?  I wouldn't mind meeting up and learning the rules of the road there with someone with experience.

Used to go there all the time when I lived in Montville.

 

A bunch of good old guys.

 

As far as I know they allow lead shot, unless that recently changed.

 

Trap shooting is fun once you start getting the hang of it.

Their website says nothing about steel shot... of course, the website hasn't been updated in over a year...

I could be wrong I thought I had heard, years ago, they went to steel shot because they are so close to the river.  I could be completely wrong.

I live in Montville right up Horseneck it's probably 2-2.5 miles from my house.  I figured I should go.  I want to practice so I can compete with my wife--I ain't asking her for help.

Their website hasn't been updated in much longer than a year.

 

 

Rob- just go and shoot. Theyll look at you funny if you bring a scary black gun, but otherwise they're pretty receptive to newbies.

 

I really like their setup with the voice activated throwers.

I'm going to use the OL's Beretta SP1 686.  It should fit in fine.

I shoot there and am a member. Lead shot is GTG. Friendly bunch of Fudd's. You can buy shotgun shells and other stuff like reloading supplies directly from their distributor when the deliver clays. Like others said, just go shoot. The guys who work the clubhouse are friendly and will get you going

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot 358]

Be warned though. It is incredibly addicting.

They are a great bunch of guys.  GFH had a Gold member invitational and we had a total blast.  Shot about 10 boxes with the old Model 11/Sportsman.  Membership is cheap.  I am thinking of joining. They are www.northjerseytargetclub.com

Yep that's how I got started in reloading years ago.

 

Used to have great prices on supplies. Not sure where they are now.

New computer system runs the birds now. It's not the honor system anymore. You talk at the line and a bird goes you paid for it.

Going to be there tomorrow at 4:15 if your interested in shooting with a fellow board member.

So you don't pay per round anymore?

I would but can't get out of NYC on time. Perhaps next time.

You prepay for birds. The computer counts them down as they fly. Modern technology. Club is probably saving a bundle. It's fine.

[rifleman 90]

It is a very good trap field. I have shot at a few and this has a great background.

[DDT1345 10]

I live about 5 mins from there in Towaco and always wanted to go. Just need to buy the necessary accessories...like a shotgun. Got the itch before my wedding. We got married at Skylands Manor. Shot at Thunder Mountain the morning of. That was 6 years ago now!

What happens if bird doesn't come out or comes out in pieces?

Shooting there all day I dont think I saw one bad bird...

The controller allows for two extra targets per round for a show bird, bad targets or errors. Most places that use these prepaid systems do allow for a few extra.
