I was informed today their working out legal requirements and, hope it can be finalized within the first half of this year. Will it happen? I hope so,but I've been down this road before on this issue. Another place to shoot is always a plus.

Never complained about their service,read the original post.They should provide good service for the prices they charge. Their used gun prices for most of their guns are way over priced for the condition their in.

A good deal is subjective to the buyer. The Guild was always alittle higher priced. After my last several visits to the Guild their prices are non competitive with other resources. I feel with loyal repeat customers they should be more flexible when negotiating prices. If you like buying there thats your choice. As for me they lost a long time loyal customer.

I've been a steady customer of the Guild for many years. I've also brought in a few friends to buy there. Although their prices ran alittle higher than other shops, I continued to shop there because of their selection and knowledge of their firearms. They've always been courteous to me and have spent alot of time with me even when I was'nt ready to buy anything. I have to take issue lately with their prices and the manager unwillingness to negotiate on used guns. A few months ago I wanted to buy a used rifle, the manager offered me a deal which I found to be ridiculous, especially for a steady customer. I've gotten better deals in a shop where no one knew me. After alittle research I found out that same gun was overpriced. OK thats one instance, maybe it was the manager having a bad day. Recently I was there and thought let me give them another chance. I see another used rifle there I recently have done research on. The condition of the gun was alittle less than fair, it was priced so far out of range for its condition I just got disgusted and left. I guess their prices come at no surprise to many forum members, but now its gotten to the point of being unreasonable. Recently the owner has opened two new shops, Easton PA and Branchburg NJ. Maybe the owner is pressurring the NJ shop to be real tight at the expense of guild customers, who knows. I thought Sayreville Sportsman was bad, this place has become a close second.

You have to qualify for every caliber you select. It's not once and over.

Nothing new to report. I'm still keeping on eye on it.Thanks for asking anyway.

Lets give it a chance and see what happens.If not,we still have places to go.

Thanks for the positive feedback.

All I want is positive feedback, thats how this all started.Leave it at that.

Smokin50 whats your deal with the negativity you keep throwing at EB range.There are plenty of whackos at your club also,so whats your point.You keep injecting negativity towards this whole plan.Whats your motive for painting bleak scenarios?Are you so concerned or are you trying to be discouraging?Do you think the cost of joining at EB would cost more than OBRPC? I have a great idea, if EB opens up you don't have to use it.Some shooters like to have choices.You're becoming a bore.

I'm glad Old Bridge finally got indoor cameras, it must be just the last few years.Anyway lets hope EB becomes a reality.

llAre you under the impression that the EB range would be unsupervised? There will be a police presence and I tend to think it would be a tight ship. I've seen some scary things at ranges also,i.e. the indoor action league at OBRPC.Who monitors shooters at the OBRPC outdoor range during weekdays? C'mon, I've seen crazy stuff there also.Actually the OBRPC indoor range is opened 24/7 who's monitoring that? Your outdoor range never had a way of knowing who's coming and going.Now you're skeptical about a range run by the police? I don't get it.Input from other NJ police ranges open to the public is being studiedby EB.Do you really think the police are going to let people run wild if the range opens. Are you concerned that if this range opens OBRPC will lose members.You guys still have the outdoor range and you clean up on all the steel matches thats your bread and butter.I had the feeling Dave owned a range or was an active member of a nearby club.He might be the guy who runs the PPC league at OBRPC.With so much anti gun sentiment in this state I wish everyone would stick together on this, alot of people are working hard on this issue.Lets stay positive, I trust the EB council and police are very capable of doing the right thing.

Thats good. Thanks

It sure didn't take long for this type of moronic response.The basic part of the range is for the public. The gizmos are for trained professionals.You sound like a competing range owner trying to turn people off to the idea.Every point you mention is being addressed.If you're a dedicated shooter and sportsman you should be glad this will happen.This has been in review for 2 years. If discouraging people is your goal,its too late.People with more expertise than you are working on this issue.I guess you will need to find another place to use (fancy fun stuff),try Great Adventure.

Click on the Township Council on left side of page.

East Brunswick Web Site ,just let council members know that you would be interested in seeing public use of the range. Keep it short and simple their looking for positive feed back.Thanks

If done right it can work out for all NJ shooters.

For about 2 years I've been questioning EB officials about the EB Police Range opening for public use.I've been informed that a study is in progress on this becoming a reality in the near future.This is way past the rumor stage.If this passes a Town Council vote,and it appears that it would,then its up to the shooting community to show their interest.All those interested should go the the EB web site and let members of the town council know there's genuine interest in making this happen.You don't have to be a EB resident to participate. All NJ shooters would benefit from this facility.This is the first time in 2 years I,ve actually gotten positive feedback from council members.The details have to be worked out of course,but with enough support this can happen.In NJ you can never have enough places to shoot. I urge all fellow shooters to step up and voice your support. Thanks

If enough people write to the Town Council and show an interest, there might be a possibility the EB range would be open to the public. Fellow shooters have to show an interest, so keep on writing and show your support, otherwise this issue will just fade away.

Here's the letter I sent to every member of the EB Town Council a few weeks ago. Attn: Town Council Members: As a resident of East Brunswick I would like to suggest the use of the EB Police Training Facility for legal firearm owners who are residents of EB. I believe the Police Training Facility could provide revenue for EB. The Police Training Facility is under- utilized and operating at a substantial financial loss. There are many legally registered firearm owners residing in EB, the Police Records Dept would attest to that. All EB residents in accordance with NJ state law must get finger printed, obtain character references, get state and local police approval, and pass federal background checks before being issued a firearms permit. There are at least five other townships in NJ that permit the use of their police ranges when not being used for official business, some for residents, others for both resident and non residents. Firearm permits are issued in EB regularly. There are plenty of EB firearm owners who pay other facilities annually for use of their ranges. These ranges are located in Old Bridge, South River, Jackson, Lakewood, West Windsor and Brick. The fees at these ranges cost from $200 to $500 annually. Since the firearms are already legally owned by residents in EB and, there

The police ranges that are open as far I know from researching the net are,Atlantic County Training Facility Egg Harbor,Police Assoc. of South Jersey Berlin, Waldwick Police Range,BayonnePolice Range,Riverdale Police Range. I E-mailed the EB mayor stating I wrote to members of the town council.He wants to know how they respond. I'm even wondering if they will respond. He likes the idea, but he can't do a thing without the councils approval.

I'm not much of a public speaker, but there is strength in numbers. If there is a way of contacting legal gun owners in EB, a list of people in favor of this should be presented to the town council. I don't believe they would take 2 guys looking for a place to shoot too seriously. I think if the council could see the actual interest in this idea especially from a fiscal angle it would be a great help.This Police Range was built about 7 years ago. At the time there was much talk about Police Ranges closing in NJ.EB jumped on the idea of "built it and they will come". They built it, but not too many came. The reason being all those other Police Ranges never closed.This issue is EB's touchy topic.The facility sits there unused most of the time,and nobody takes a step to correct it. EB's claim to fame is "diversity", but not when it comes to open mindedness and common sense. I've also started writing to council members.I still have no reply,which I'm not surprised at. If you know a good public speaker who would be interested,get them on board.

All we can do is try, thanks.
