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!

    • 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.
