that place is a rip off. fees, odd & ends. I was a member when it was Eagle Eye owned by Zimm's. Now they were a great bunch of people. As an alternative indoor range, go to Bob's Little Sport Shop in Glassboro. Easy to get to via Rt. 55, then to 322 to Delsea Drive. Good guys, reasonable fees. Always lots of good stuff behind the counter, knowledgeable people. After 2 or 3 negative (rip off) experiences in Hagues, I will never go back there no matter how convenient. I am a member of the Salem Co. Sportmens Club on Rt. 40 in Carney's Point. There is nothing like it in South Jersey... pistol, rifle, skeet, trap, air rifle, archery, archery walkthrough, lake for swimming, boating, picknicking, shelter pavilion for large gatherings, free campground, and access to the Salem River for power boating. Clean, family oriented place. No mall ninjas (well, maybe a few once in a while at the pistol range). They run a tight ship but it is top shelf. Cost is 157/year + one time fee of $300 for the building fund. There is a waiting list though, but worth the wait.

Just answered that question Sunday down at the Salem Co. Sportsmen's Club I have an old Mossberg bolt action with a cheep Bushnell .22 scope. Using Federal Champion std. velocity lead ammo. Siting in for 100 yards for the upcoming Salem Co. 4-h air rifle county competition (we do a 'hunter class' using real firearms as well as air rifle). My old MB - a "westernfield' circa 1971, was doing 3 shot 1 hole groups at 50 yds (bench of course) and was routinely hitting shotgun hulls and splitting 1/2" sticks at 100 yds. Not every time due to operator error and some wind drift, but easily capable. The rifle was given to me 30 years ago by a friend of the family. Trigger is a little heavy, but it shoots really well. Cool to hear the delay between the report and the paper at 100 yds. Way fun!

shooting a goose = bad Addling (shaking) the eggs while the goose is nesting = acceptable and good. they scramble the eggs in the shell to fool the goose into thinking its just gonna take one more day... and they end up not having a brood this year. Can you imagine grown adults sneaking around, finding goose eggs and shaking them and then putting them back? Or they paint them with oil to prevent the exchange of oxygen and CO2 and kill 'em. that is ok, but depredation is not. We have already lost the fight. We just don't know it yet....

I have several... RWS M48 in .177 w/ 6-24 air rifle rated scope (the spring piston power plant creates a reverse recoil or something that will break the mounting of a regular rifle scope glass). 1000+fps w/ JSB exacts 8.4 grn pellet. Very accurate. easily do a 1 hole group at 30 yds. Easily will go through 3/4" plywood at 30 yds too. Makes a bit of a noise. Gun is heavy - better than 10 lbs. Bench rest it mostly. RWS M24 - open sights. 700 fps. Very nice plinker. Gamo Delta - 550 fps. decently accuate. Got it for my smaller children. Daisy 853 single pump pneumatic w/ Walthar barrel. Used by my older kids in 4-h air rifle competition. Will shoot 1 hole groups all day long. max range is probably 20 yards, but they do shoot shiloette up to 45 yrds. The first three are spring piston. the M48 is a side cocker, the other two are break barrel. The 48 will easily take care of pests. So I'm told

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.

Ouchie! $40 a piece? when you can by 20 rounders from C-mag for what, $15 or so? I got a bunch of 10 rnders for 12 a piece. We don't need gun control from the libbs. We have it right amongst our own - price gouging fellow shooters. i hate that.

I had the thought of cutting the mag tube down as well. Those springfield m1a 15 rnd mags are pricey! something like $54 or so for one - ouch! I've seen a post somewhere showing a tube epoxied onto the underside of the follower so that the downward travel of the follower was stoped at the required depth to limit the capacity. I think it was on calguns.net? Do you think that would work, or does the mag tube have to be cut?

I don't think I've ever seen a '15 rnd' mag of any flavor. Are there ways to make a 20 round mag compliant? 10 rnd m1a mags are hard to find. AR mags are available if you want to wait. any ideas?

My goal is to be familiar with how each of my firearms shoots at different ranges (no pun intended). I shoot .45, .357/.38 and sometimes my Buckmark .22. I shoot weakhanded, one handed, and without my glasses (now that is fun... is that the target?). i also go to the 100 yrd rifle range and shoot my AR and my M1A. The downside(s) are that this is an expensive proposition, I usually have somebody with me to help use up ammo, and, shooting many different firearms at the same time reduces my familiarity with any one in particular. My problem is that I just love to shoot them all, and I can' t bear to leave them home alone

I found this forum while tooling around on THR. Very nice to converse with fellow enthusiasts from the Garden State. Originally from Monmouth, moved with my wife to Gloucester County in '89. We belong to the Salem Co. Sportmen's Club on Rt 40 in Carney's Point. Fabulous place. 100 yd rifle, 25 yrd pistol, air rifle, trap, skeet, archery (including a walkthrough), swimable lake, fishing, boating, camping, nice picnic area and boat access to Salem Creek. Also have gone to Hague's in West Deptford. Indoor range. Kinda pricey. Liked it better under the previous owners. Anyhow, great site.
