Welcome Jon from Toms River. I am a SS member as well. I have yet to make it to the DIX range but am interested in checking it out. Hopefully I can meet up with you guys sometime.

Here's another Toms River hello! Sarge, you must be my neighbor?

I believe it is $20.00 to shoot during the week and $20.00 an hour on weekends, however, I had shot there on several weekends before becoming a member and they only charged us the $20.00 no matter how long we stayed.

Welcome from Toms River

Here's one less than 20 feet from my back door in Toms River.

Everyone that has to live here in Jersey already knows that it is virtually impossible to get a carry permit. No sense beating a dead horse. I have friends in PA that carry everyday to work. All you have to do over there is ask for a permit and you get one.

Well sometimes we old pharts ramble on, sorry about that. Speaking of Jeeps, my son and I refurbished a 1964 CJ6A Tuxedo Park a few years back. Have you ever heard of that model? I found out after buying it that it was the rarest CJ model ever built! It was a fun project, took us 6 weeks start to finish which included fabricating and welding in new body panels, painting, tune up and change all fluids, brakes all around, new springs and shocks, seats, top and new tires. My son and I did 100% of the work ourselves. Our next project was to build a Race Rabbit for autocrossing which took us to 3 seasons of class championships and 53 trophies, which included 41 consecutive first place finishes. For this project we built a "custom" motor and transmission, roll cage, trick suspension and paint, once again all 100% done by us...oh damn, here I am going on again Unfortunately, when I retired in 2005 and moved down the shore, my wife made me sell all my toys :cry: That's when we took up shooting again and I had to learn to CLEAN all my new guns again with my bore snakes, CLP and Rem Oil and ....(sneaky transition back on topic :roll: )

Yeah, sometimes I just plug in my iTouch, but I hate the wire hanging around. And with the CDs, I can change tracks and disks with the steering wheel controls, with my Ipod or iTouch, I have to look down at it.

My son does Audio Books all the time. Sometimes, if I have a long trip and am by myself, I'll plug Transformers or another movie I have seen into the DVD player. Since I know what is happening, it is easy to follow along and makes the time fly by.

You know, one of them shiny disks that you put about 150 mp3's (compressed songs) on so you can drive for 5 or 6 hours without changing stations.

I try to clean my guns after every range shoot. I usually start by running a bore snake through it. Usually use CLP or Rem Oil for cleaning, a little Teflon lube on the rails and they are good to go. Thinking of mixing up a batch of that "Ed's Red" and trying that. We typically shoot 100+ rounds of 9mm and several hundred rounds of .22 when we go to the range. I guess I am not the "typical" gun owner, especially here in Jersey? I do not sleep with a gun next to my bed, I live in a nice quiet neighborhood full of senior citizens. If I ever felt I had to sleep with a gun under my pillow, I figure it is time to find a new place to live. I never listen to talk radio, always have a CD playing in my car, and I never, ever, talk politics....keeps my blood pressure down. I too am an old phart, but did not get the movie reference?? Oh well!

Welcome from the jersey shore. If the PX-4 action is anything like the CX-4 I have, you will love it! I also have a sweet K10/22 Target that is an absolute tack driver. I did a volks trigger kit, extended mag release and the Auto Hold Mod and it is a thing of beauty to shoot. Older picture, the M&P has been replaced with a Springfield XD-9 Tactical.

Another welcome from Toms River. My brother likes in Budd lake, I'll have to ask him if he knows of anything up there. I do know there used to be a skeet/trap shooting place right on Rt 206 around Chester at one time.

tbtrout, we have some members who have spent thousands of dollars customizing their PT Cruisers. A few years back we had a show in Niagara Falls and there were 613 PT Cruisers in town for the weekend. We raised over $24,000.00 for a children's cancer charity. PK90, yes, I went East on the pike out of town and then turned North on a small road when I passed the club.

I am the director of the Garden State Crew-zers, America's largest and most active PT Cruiser Club with over 200 Members. I checked out the pictures from the South Jersey Shooting Club and I am not sure that is what I passed as there was a white building right off the road with a name on it. SJSC seems to be back off the road a bit with no road side view of their building. It's not like I would go all the way down there to shoot, just curious.

Wow, you guys are fast. That looks like the place, thanks! :mrgreen:

OK, I took my car club to the Red, White & Blueberry Festival in Hammonton yesterday and on the way home (about 10-15 minutes east of Hammonton) I had turned left onto a small road and passed a white builing which was on my right. As I passed, I noticed it said **** Shooting Club or something to that effect. We were both hot and tired so i did not turn around to check it out but now I am curious as to what it was. Since I was just following my Garmin's directions, I was not paying attention to the road names or anything, just thought it might have been someplace interesting and someone here might know where I was?

Welcome from the Jersey Shore

Welcome from Toms River. My son has shot Steel at Old Bridge and said it is a very well run event! Someday he'll take me along

If he is driving to his house in Toms River, he can jump off the parkway at 89 and visit Shore Shot and Brick Armory in Lakewood. They are like 3 minutes apart. Tips Hardware, a little further south, always seems to have a nice selection of stuff too. These gun dealers must use different suppliers? A while back I was looking for a Ruger K10/22 target in Stainless (my buddy brought one to the range and I shot it and had to get one....damn impulse buys ) I called SS and Brick but neither had any or any immediate availability. A guy I was working with told me to try Tip's Hardware so I called Tip's and he said he could get one in that week for me, and he even ordered it over the phone for me with no deposit or cc number. OK, it was a pretty popular rifle but still, I thought that was pretty cool. About 6 weeks later a couple showed up at SS.

I found out today that he is in Suffolk County. We passed a gun shot and they had a big sign in the window that said "We Help You With Pistol Permit Process". Interesting! The place was called Edelsman's Pistol Service and looks to have been around for a long time. Here is an excerpt from their web page re: LI gun permits. i am betting it is not cheap! LONG ISLAND PERSONAL LICENSE NASSAU COUNTY * SUFFOLK COUNTY* 5 TOWNS RIVERHEAD You can qualify for a personal carry permit if: * If you are over 21 years old and want to target shoot, hunt or use for protection with a handgun * You will get membership to 3 local ranges.

Don't Wait... Contact Us Today!

Thanks all, we'll do some research this week. I was really hoping he would get a job offer in PA or TN, two other places (among many) he was looking. Guess it is hard to find high tech job in this economy.

My son may be moving out to Long Island as he has been offered a job there. Are the gun rules worse than Jersey out there? What does he have to do about the guns he has bought and registered here in Jersey?

Saw this on the SS blog this morning, dated June 10th GSG-5 HIT SHORE SHOT! Shore Shot Pistol Range has just received a small shipment of the new GSG-5 Anniversary Edition 22 LR Rifles! These MP5 Clones are extremely hot and are in stock. Stop down and check them out! Currently in Titanium Finish.. with Nickel Finish being shipped within the next couple days. Check in while Supplies Last!

Another big HELLO from Toms River (well, almost) and we also shoot at SS so maybe we'll run into you there. A little busy these past weeks with my job going belly up and my son just getting a new job so I am helping him get his Townhouse ready to be put on the market.
