rscalzo 3 Posted May 26, 2009 Rscalzo, were you a member of the committee Not of that club. I started as one of their Junior Members back in the mid 60's when they hosted the PAL Rifle Club. Those were during the days before the roof. Most thought the town bought it but it was bought by the Hackensack Meadowlands Developement Comm. as a environmental area and given to the town. The Mayor wanted the property but was never against the range. But by the time the town took the area over, the range was falling down and barely adequate for it's intended use. I can't blame the club as they weren't going to put large sums of money into the improvement if they were going to be moved out. they were on a monthly lease for more than a few years. They were willing to finance a new range in town if they could get a long term lease on property but anything that was available was just too valuable. Back in the late 60's they had some of the best shooters and gunsmiths in the east coast hanging out there. We had some well known people as members. When Robert Goulet was on Broadway, he was a frequent visitor. I still remember Bill Engle shooting off his cannor as a signal to start the matches.

waterman308 0 Posted June 10, 2009 Very, very nice place. family oriented - swimming/fishing/boating lake, camp ground w/ access to Salem River, pistol, rifle, trap, skeet, archery and air rifle ranges. Pic nic area near swimming. Spring fed lake. Only downside for me is that it is a 35 min. drive at highway speed down 295 from Gloucester Co. Many times I am the only one there on 170 acres! Awesome.

Caine 147 Posted June 15, 2009 You are complaining about a 35 min drive in NJ!? HAHA I was thinking the same thing when I read that - aside from BulletHole which is luckily only 15 minutes away (but is unfortunately almost always packed), everything is atleast an hour away from me (assuming I can go 75 the whole way and don't hit traffic ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caine 147 Posted June 16, 2009 Cherry Ridge should be just shy of an hour for you. Actually, you're right. I just check and google maps has me about an hour away. For some reason I thought it was further away. It's only like 30-35 miles from me, so not sure why it would take an hour, but I may just have to check it out now That's kind of my problem I think - there are 3-4 places that are about an hour to an hour and half away, and they all offer something a little different.

Make an 'all call' when you want to go up and chances are someone will take you through. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It used to take me 50 minutes from Weehawken to Cherry Ridge before 9 AM have to beat the traffic mall in Wayne. Before Route 23 was built it made my trip easier.
