Twism86 5 Posted February 20, 2020 Hi all, Getting back into shooting so that means cleaning off my SKS. Do any of the indoor ranges that I may go to, TTC or RTSP, allow shooting 7.62 indoors? Also, as far as ive checked the bayonet is still legal in NJ. I have no modifications, still an internal mag, etc. Who else has one and shoots it on the regular? I dont think mine has went bang in 10+ years. http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m265/twism86/photo2-2.jpg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
always_an_eagle 165 Posted February 20, 2020 I shoot an norinco myself, if you are gonna be shooting indoors many indoor ranges have bans on metal jacketed ammunition. They check this by putting a magnetic on the bullet to see if there is metal on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted February 20, 2020 RTSP says no steel core ammo. Now Clinton WMA's rimfire range allows center core up to .30 cal, so 7.62x39 is fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be a close local option however I dont hunt and the sign says you must have a hunting license to use the range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would consider getting the hunting license even if you don't hunt. The hunter education is free to get and for the cost of a hunting license, less than 30 bucks, you have access to the rifle and shotgun ranges of clinton and other areas in NJ.

Take the free course and get a license - it's worth it. Another option would be Easton Fish & Game - it's a little further out but it's outdoors and relatively inexpensive.

Im an avid fisherman and supporter of all outdoor activities so a throwing a few extra bucks at NJF&W is always good. I have nothing against hunting either, just never appealed to me. I also let all my fish go... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My buddy has a bunch of land overrun with deer (like the rest of NJ) so I might tag along with him one year and try and get one. My biggest draw back to hunting was always the task of dragging the deer out of the woods, cleaning it and butchering it. If I hunt with him he will take care of that for me in exchange for getting rid of extra deer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
