Range 14 -- shotgun use on the rifle range?

Recommended Posts

Once everything eventually reopens, I will need to pattern a couple of shotguns.  During past visits, I remember seeing some people at Range 14 shooting shotguns on the rifle range, but I don't know if there are any ammo restrictions.  

Anybody know if its slugs only?  Or are buckshot and birdshot allowed as well?   

Thanks

I was afraid of that, since I need to pattern some birdshot loads.   I guess ill need to go to a WMA range.  

Thanks

If it's not too far, go visit Gene Solomon in Farmingdale on a Sunday.  I dunno if his trap range is open, but his gun shop should be.  He opens the shop at 6:00pm Friday evenings and 1:00pm on Sundays.  Go buy some shit you need and then ask him nicely if you can pattern a gun at the board located at the far end of the trap fields.

I actually wasn't aware of this place and its right up the road from me.   I will keep that in mind, thanks.

Yeah unfortunately they don't really specify on the website.

It does seem like it would be a weird arbitrary rule to not allow birdshot at an outdoor range.   

I guess I will give them a call when they open back up.

Not really.  Past 50 yards, #4 birdshot (for example) would spread and pepper other people's targets.

I know I read that damned rule somewhere, just not on the R-14 site.

    • 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.
