Fairfield NJ Trap range

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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

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.

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!

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
