If you don't mind the ride, Delran Junior Marksman is located on Taylor's Lane in Delran (Burlington Co). They are open on Saturday and Sunday from noon till 4:30 PM and it will cost you $15.00 to shoot. They have a pistol range, rifle range, air rifle range, .22 silohuette range, and a trap range. All ranges are outdoor and are covered with the exception of the trap range which will be covered in the near future. http://www.delranjuniormarksman.com/

DJM isn't new. The club was started in 1962 and has been in continuous operation since that time. The handgun range was closed down by the Twp. for a bunch of months but the rest of the facility was still open. The handgun range has been rebuilt and can be considered new.

The Twp. went back and forth with DJM trying to wear the club down. After almost a year of bickering, the DJM Board told the DJM attorney to notify the Twp. that DJM intended to sue. The Twp. (all of a sudden) become more interested in resolving the problem rather than deal with the lawsuit. Plans were drawn up and submitted ot the NRA and the modifications were made. The range was inspected by the NRA and the Twp. engineer and approval was given to reopen the handgun range.

The newly rebuilt Dleran Junior Marksman handgun range has been inspected by the NRA and subsequently approved by the township engineer for use. The handgun range reopened yesterday at 2:00 PM after a brief ribbon cutting ceremony. Non members are always welcome.

I am a NRA certified RSO (Range Safety Officer). I took the course 12 years ago so I don't remember too much about it. It was a home study course at our range. The club paid for it but it wasn't a lot of money back then, $35.00, I think. We don't get paid at our range, we are volunteers. I have duty one Saturday every six weeks for 4 1/2 hours. If we didn't volunteer our time, the range would close and we need all of the shooting ranges in operation that we can get. I do it to promote the shooting sport and the Second Amendment.

I have been thinking of getting a reproduction Spencer carbine. Fall Creek Suttlery sells them and they are made by Armi Sport. Does anyone have any experience with Armi Sport and/or Fall Creek Suttlery?

Cabelas in Hamburg does have black powder revolvers on display. They had a decent selection the last time that I was there in October.

Here is a link to a website that deals with Lee presses and equipment. I referenced it when I was setting up my Lee Loadmaster. Check it out. http://loadmastervideos.com/

Jack Bauer is da man.

I don't have any young kids visit my home but my guns are in the safe. The ammo is locked in a steel cabinet in the garage. You just never know. My self defense weapon is a short (so I can swing it) aluminum baseball bat that I keep in the closet.

Remember that the pistol range is closed and will be closed for most of 2010. It has to be reengineered and reconstructed for safety reasons. No handgun shooting at DJM until the pistol range reconstruction is complete. Just don't want anyone make the trip there to shoot handguns and be disappointed.

Well, I had range duty yesterday. Not surprisingly, we only had one shooter show up. Apparently, no one knows we're open yet and I guess the weather helped to keep them away. We have to rebuild our pistol range before we can allow it to be used again and as a result it will be closed for the better part of 2010. I just hope we don't go through all of that work only to be closed down again.

I am a member of DJM and an RSO. I had to find out that it is open from NJGF. The communication is poor and there is a lot of infighting between Board members. I am scheduled for duty next Saturday. I wonder when they were going to let me know that it opened up. The bullets (2 separate instances) on the roof are true but, ballistically, I don't see how it could have happened. Something smells fishy about all of it.

I bought it online. It covers a lot of ground. I think it's a worthwhile purchase for gun owners in NJ.

I have a Taurus PT138 (.380 acp). It's light, it has a 10 round capacity, and it's accurate. I like it. It's fun to shoot once I got used to the long trigger pull.

I have a 608, too. I never had a problem with it. Accuracy is good and the trigger is not so bad either.

Scott, I got a dry storage container with my order and it's actually ncier than the ones they used to send. Spokes

Yep, I ordered .223 Reminton in April and finally got it in the beginning of June. They kept extending the backorder date. Spokes

I bolted a locking steel cabinet to the wall of my garage. The ammo is in there and the guns are in the safe in the house.

DJM in Delran and applied at Telco Sportsmen Club in Waterford, NJ.

Rscalzo, I have been a member of DJM for 11 years and an RSO for 10 but was unaware of many of the things that you say the club does for the community. If I don't know, how would the communtity know. And if they do know, it's obvious that they really don't give a rat's behind. Somone, somwhere in that township is anti-gun or anti-noise or both and they pulled the right strings. I still don't see how those projectiles got on that roof. It doesn't seem physically possible unless they came from the police range across the river. I hope for the best, I love that range, but I fear the worst. Spokes

Sweet!!!
