Directions to Fort Dix Range 14

[XDJohnTact 49]

Can someone give directions to the range at Fort Dix. Not familiar with this area but want to check out the range. Maybe from a major highway or landmark? Thanks!

Thanks, that sounds pretty easy. Plan on getting out there in a few weeks.

You will have a good time. Bring a few discounted cantalopes, watermelons and coconuts and have fun.

I haven't been there yet, but when I MapIt it's only a half hour or so away. Fortunately my job is flexible and the nice weather has me thinking that it's just about time to take a vacation day here and there and try out the 200 and 300 yd rifle range.

[tbtrout 141]

Thier hours are Sat and Sun 0800-1600 and Wed and Fri 1300-2000. I think Wednesdays are seasonal hours. The range only goes to 200 yds though.

[Tom609 27]

200 will be stretching it So far, 100 has been it for me.

[tbtrout 141]

200 gives you an excuse to put a scope on your rifle. There can never be enough accessories.

I've always wanted to get to the Ft Dix range. I've heard a lot good about it but never been able to make it.

How long ago was this? There was a period a few years ago when whoever ran it was a real>>>..., but after that, things seem to be ok again. I miss the old timer that was there around 12 years ago. Anything went with him.

This was a few years ago...Right after Chuck left (the guy that looked a lot like Samuel Jackson). I had been a member for a few years, but that was the last day I ever went there.

Do you have to be a member to use the range or can you pay a non member price to use the range?

A member can bring a guest , but normally you have to be a member. The good news is that its only $55? a year....perhaps its gone up and $3 an hour for range time. Considering how much private clubs charge, thats a deal.

you have to remember it is an outside range and weather permitting.

we were going to go today but not in the rain, we made this shooting date 2 weeks ago because we were rained out then too.

Really? You can shoot stuff like that there? Cool. Do they have bench rests/ benches? Do they have target stands?

[tbtrout 141]

You can shoot any friut you want. Hard boiled eggs and a 22 go perfect together. Soda bottles, soup cans, milk jugs. Nothing like a reactive target. No glass or bowling pins. They have covered benches and concrete pads for prone. You can buy targets on 1x3's inside for $3 ea.
