Any 600+ yard range in NJ or PA but near NJ?

Recommended Posts

hi guys, I am trying to get into precision shooting. I wonder if there is any 600 yard or beyond distance range for public use in NJ or PA (but better be close to mid-NJ). I currently only go to Range 14 and use their 200-yard range, which becomes less challenging as my skill grows. 

also, my job keeps me very busy so I can only spend a weekend day at range, which is why I don't want to join a shooting club. I simply can't always do my duties as a member. 

anyway...the goal is to find ranges like Range 14 (no member duties) but with longer distance rifle ranges. Thanks!

There are three 600+yd ranges within reasonable travel distance of most of NJ

There is Cumberland Riflemen in Millville (Cumberland County) NJ where I am a member and also part of the HighPower committee that runs the NRA matches. There's one more weekend left this season at Cumberland. Check out the match info at http://www.CumberlandMatches.com and the club site at http://www.CumberlandRiflemen.com

In Gap PA (Lancaster County, I believe) is New Holland Rifle and Pistol Club. They also host a variety of NRA High Power matches. http://www.nhrpc.org

Lastly, there is Bridgeville Rifle and Pistol Club in Bridgeville (slower Delaware, south of Dover) which has a 1000yd range and hosts both 600 and 1000yd matches http://bville-rifle-pistol.org

Looks like this is most recent thread.

Wanted to ask the same question, but for Bergen county.

Has anything changed in the last 5 years?

Is Forbes range in Colonie NY is still the closest option?

Sheepdog Warrior is a bit closer for you - https://sheepdogwarrior.com/

Sheepdog Warrior

104 Haines Rd

Catskill, NY 12414

 

They have steel targets of various sizes hanging from 100 - 1000 yards.

 

They close for the winter, so they typically reopen in April.

 

Owner is former LEO and a really nice guy.

 

You have to call ahead to make a reservation to shoot, but we always have a great time when we're there.

Thanks a lot for the info.

I almost lost hope of finding anything closer than 2.5 hours and not too hard to get into.

    • In 50 years of living in NJ I've never experienced any attempt to inspect the interior of the home, and only one definite inspection of the exterior for an announced reassessment of all properties and that was a drive by. About 9 years of that was living in an apartment, but still, uncommon. Every place I lived had either a finished attic, basement, or both. But they were also included in the habitable square footage on the taxes when we got there. 
    • 27.00 and change in tolls to drive down the shore from Rutherford,  47.00 in tolls to go out to Long island to visit dying relatives. Now I read they are going to raise the fees in the DMV. Murphy lied just to get elected when he said that seniors will get a significant tax break with his StayNJ" program to stop us from leaving.   Keep voting for democrats...this is what you get.  Tax and spend is all they know.  Never cut anything.  This state sucks.
    • I get the added benefit that since I have a TSP rather than a true 401(k) they tax my retirement too. Yaaaay!
