RTSP

No age limit as long as the minors are accompanied by a parent

Did you fill in your holes? Plumbing and electric this week Big A...they pour the floor next week...Still think it looks like mid to end of Sept once we pass final CO....

Nice Job Anthony!! I'm sure we'll find a way to help promote this!! I think I know a "graphics dude".....

Thanks for the plug Oneshot! Hang tight, we are getting there...should be built out by the end of September. Phase I is 9 lanes rated up to .50 bmg (handgun, rifle, shotgun)...store with firearms, ammo and accessories (yes, a little waiting area too!)...if you all show up and support us, then comes Phase II expansion, 12 more lanes...but have to take it one step at a time!! Very expensive startup costs... www.rtsponline.com

Funny you mention that. I am not a fan of the anointed one. But everyone I talk to in this business tells me to root for his re-election. Heading up to the range now to see the daily progress.

FYI - headed to the range today to see the progress. Check out www.rtsponline.com for the latest pics. Range cement block going up today!!

Well rapid fire is a bit of a problem for our baffles Controlling recoil and staying on target becomes an issue for those who aren't experienced shooters. I think we will address 'rapid fire' by having some fun shoot nights and competition shooting that allows it under a controlled environment. Not sure if that's the answer you were looking for, but I think we will feel it out and see how it goes, as we determine the do's and dont's of range policy...

Combination...memberships with priority range times/discounts on ammo etc....along with hourly rates for those who don't want to commit to a year upfront. Hopefully we will win over some of the disbelievers...we are very much into gun safety and training/firearm responsibility...but for those who just can't stomach holding a gun, we will offer instruction on how to use your "rape whistle" in case of attack!

Yeah, we are four guys 35-44 years old...all gun enthusiasts who just couldn't stand the options in Northern NJ...outdoor shooting is great and we all belong to Cherry Ridge..but I like to shoot 12 months a year and needed an indoor option that guys want to go and hang at...I think you will be real happy with the facility and most important, all of us that run the range. And we allow silhouette targets/head shots for civilians too!! LOL

Thanks...we are well on our way...footings are in and the range block goes in on Tuesday... No pricing has been set just yet, but it looks like that amount. Seems like the other FFL's in the area charge about $35 for the transfer and $15 for the NICS...I guess we will be in that range. No pun intended!

One never knows...

Hey, just wanted to let all of you that have been following this thread that we have been posting updates of the range buildout on Facebook. Some might not have FB, but we don't have the ability to post video and images here the way we'd like to. We have also posted images on our website www.rtsponline.com. Footings got filled with concrete yesterday and the cement filled block for the range goes in on Tuesday..Be well and Happy 4th of July everyone.

That's a good question. Let me contact our ATF rep and see what the issues might be? Might be a NJ State Police issue since the location isn't up and running just yet. But I will dig around and find out.

Again, nothing set in stone just yet...but probably equivalent to other places...i.e. $35 transfer and $15 NICS check

Just a little update for all of you tracking RTSP - we received our Federal Firearms License today!

For those of you who aren't on our Facebook page yet...here are a couple pics of the first day build out...not much, but hey, we are starting with the footings being dug and the concrete to be poured this week! If you can, please "like" us on FB (RTSP - Range, Firearms & Training) and check out the progress as we go along for the next 3 months

Thanks for the update...we did hear about Ira's rumblings...I have never personally met him... Listen, there can never be too many ranges...and as he will probably attest...we are not in his backyard and he is not in ours...so I do wish him the best of luck...24hrs..jeez, my wife is ready to kill me on staying open til 8 or 9pm most nights! As for the cigar lounge - pretty cool idea...not something we can do, but we'll share a cigar out back when ya join!

Good input...I think we will play it by ear the first few months being open and see what pans out....If it looks like later nights in the early part of the week seems to draw the most in, then that's what we will go with. It will just be a balancing act for us. We have to weigh the cost of help and keeping the range open vs how many show up between 7-9pm....but feedback helps!!

Well, since we haven't state which town we are in, how do you know how far you will be? Maybe it will be closer?

Yes, there is plenty of parking...even though I don't think that railway is active next to the BH At least I hope its not - not that I will be going there anyway Allow head shots? Uh yes, we encourage it..especially if you missed your two shots to the thoracic cavity only anti-gunners will be prohibited from head shots - but they will get to blow their rape whistles as loud as they want

Ok, so to address some of the questions about our range hours - how about I list our thoughts below and you guys give us some feedback (realistic!) as to if this seems good for the general public? Monday, Tuesday & Wed - 10am - 8pm Thursday 10am - 10pm Friday 10am - 9pm Saturday 8am - 6pm Sunday 8am - 5pm Again, nothing in stone - just first thoughts...

Well, we're building it and there's no turning back now. We haven't settled on exact rates just yet. They will be comparable to those in South Jersey on an hourly and yearly membership basis. We are floating around the idea of multiple yearly membership levels, with different perks at each level. This way there isn't just one price that some may not want to jump into... With regards to late nights - We hear you...and did just have a conversation amongst the partners about how late, and if not every day, at least having 1 or 2 days that we stay open until 10pm.

All the ports will handle up to 50 BMG. We just want to keep the rifle rounds on two lanes that can handle that velocity and have baffles that are meant for rifle rounds. The other lanes will be just fine for any handgun ammo.

Yes, range is rated up to .50 BMG...there will be two specific lanes that will be for rifle...especially until we get to know our clientele and who will be baffle killers!

Funny, and probably not too far from reality!!
