The issue is, when what I did is completely safe, and there is no benefit what so ever to doing it the way "they" wanted, why even bring it up? Telling me do it differently only for the sake of the rules is nitpicking, and demeaning. In effect, you're saying I don't know how to properly handle a firearm, this turns people off when they know what you're telling them is nonsense. I understand there are a lot people there who do unsafe things, I've seen plenty of that myself, and those people do need to be corrected, but common sense should prevail. I am sorry if you felt demeaned in any way,I am sure this was not the RO's intent,From an RO's point of view after seeing what has gone wrong and what could go wrong,we try to standardize the simple things to prevent the big things. the benefit of having a firearm flagged in the bore is it is highly visible from across the range and will not blow out or fall out or over. even if someone fails to unload the ammo feed.the action will not close

Were you the person who canceled your membership over 3 years ago? This just sounds like "sour grapes" or a personal vendetta to me I'm sorry Cherry Ridge is not the range for you. Nothing can be perfect, if the range is not up to your standard I applaud your Choice not to renew.

Big plus 1 SIMPLE RULES Not impossible rules.

I do agree on one point, cylinder flagging,bore flagging serve the same purpose provided the cylinder is empty and open,I have personally Stated and demonstrated what is the "preferred" method on the pistol range. in a calm manner I'm not the type to yell at people,there is no reason for that. as far as your loaded and cased pistol not facing down range, a)all firearms ,Muzzles must be kept down range AT ALL TIMES,loaded or unloaded, b)all firearms are to be treated as if they are loaded at all times. c)firearms are to be unloaded till ready to use

If you were it fact "hassled" I do apologize, this should not happen I will attempt to Personally correct this. As you said, And I agree with, If you do not believe you can shoot at any range because of some restrictions, than Do Not. If you Chose to than abide by its rules,or lobby to change them.

I would like to thank you for 20 plus years of support of cherry ridge range (yes Empty chamber indicators have been required that long,IE:"yellow flag") The Point safety IS paramount,As A life/long term member you should lead by example. Was the RO abrasive in any way? or was the RO simply explaining the preferred method? The rules do evolve It maybe tasking to some, but they are very simple rules to shoot under. I am trying to understand what the concern is. Other ranges have much tighter rules,other ranges have looser rules. 5 years ago you would be tossed for the day if you did not have a flag installed. I am sorry if you felt singled out but believe me the rules apply to all be it Noob or life member.

Old Glock Guy ,ALL Ranges Have rules that you are expected to follow, if you Chose to shoot there,If You Be leave It is to Much of a Burden To Make Your Unattended Firearm Safe, In the manner as Stated In the rules that you agreed to when you joined, than I would Take Malsua's Suggestion. Just a side note How Would the same incident have gone 5 years ago?

the multi-purpose range (plinking range) has movable frame holders you can set your target at 25-48.5 yards .22lr cal. rifle and pistol only. nothing on the 50-100 yard range.

I only post schedule as a convenience for the forum,and try to make it known if an event is canceled or rescheduled.. You need to Contact the event organizers for more info. Cherry Ridge (the range) only sponsors the events,not run them.

OOh come on now ,"a ruckus" Can't we all get along, I do not think someone would get offended If you introduced yourself and asked if they wanted there brass.(and helped them, by picking it up) I never have a problem with that, What pisses me off is when I clean all my brass up ,and my shooting area through it away and before you know it some brassore is diving into the trash. basically If you want the brass than work for it! Don't expect someone (like me) to spend two hours sweeping up after all the inconsiderate pigs, to put it in one easy centralized location , so you can pick through it as you like. There is plenty on once fired brass to go around, Just be polite and ask, Hell you may actually make a new friend in the process.

The simple answer is Don't worry about it, The gate will not go down till fobs are distributed. How and when the fobs will be distributed is still in the works.Many fobs will need to go out and will probably go out on the renewal cycle, (may be over a years time) A call box still needs to be installed (for the fob less and vendors to summon a ro to open the gate) there is a key punch to manually open the gate with a code if fobs have not been received.

It could have been a lot worse, . glad to here you are ok, We learn the hard way some times Just my 2 cents, Send the damn thing back an get it checked out it's not worth the chance

no not yet. ​just a guess, probably start distribution of fobs starting with January renewals

I guess you forgot about the cameras already !

I see you Guy's are on a b!tch fest again, like Frank said ask someone who is not reloading if you can have there brass. The cans are there for all spent cartrages (steel ,aluminum ,brass) they were labeled "brass only" in the generic term Brass As in Police your Brass. The containers will be sold for scrap and the money's will be utilized for the club, up until now all the cases got tossed in the dumpster as trash , instead of getting recycled for scrap as of now there is no "hits the ground policy" there has been but not enforced a "in the trash policy" All litter should be removed from range property by member users. Spent shells must be picked up. Take out what you bring in. this means if you do not take it out it becomes range property since you abandon it in the garbage making the range responsible for its disposal . Perhaps you should have shirts Printed that say "Hi I'm a brass whore ,and I lust after your brass."

Other than the fact he knows he has a denial, and a copy of the form from the seller will go to the njsp within 5 days of the privite sale I would suggest You appeal the denial get it strightened out before you try to purchase any firearms

Since no one else has replied I will give you my Biased ​opinion as a life member, the grounds are nice there are ranges for every shooting discipline , is Still the best value for your dollar. get acquainted with and abide by all the range rules http://www.anjrpc.org/?rangerules demonstrate safe handling skills at all times and you'll enjoy your visits to the range

Caine,you are correct,Two guests per member more to my point of, what "change" ? , I copied and pasted from the rules posted on the web sight. The printed rules that are availible in the club house, clearly state 2 (two) Guests,which is current policy as of January

Please Clarify the "change" in the Guest policy the only change that went in to efect was in January were you can sign in too guests. A sponsoring member must sign in with the range officer (or other duly appointed person) with their membership card and range privileges pass. The guest will furnish their name and address. All shooting guests must sign in BEFORE handling firearms. Guests under 12 years of age are not allowed to fire or even handle handguns. All shooting guests must be at least ten years old and must be accompanied by the sponsoring adult member (who has full range use privileges). The guest will receive some form of identification and a copy of these safety rules and regulations. Current fee is $25 per guest per visit. All guests must use the same firing position as the sponsoring member (who is fully responsible for the actions of his guest). A sponsoring member may bring only one shooting guest, per visit, to the range. Upon any violation of these safety rules and regulations, the sponsoring member could have his membership revoked.

Just to clarify the no smoking policy...it is not a total ban just at the firing lines,parking lots are still ok for now.

Notice: The Board Has instituted a No Smoking Policy at all firing lines. Just found the official policy on the website: No smoking is permitted on the firing lines or within 20 feet of the firing lines on any range.

I am sorry I did not get back to you sooner, But as far as "squeezing in" the orientation,it is tough to give an exact time because of all the variables such as how many people are signing up, processing Ect. In short ,and as many may attest to here, try to make the day of it. (in general Arirve by 9:00 at the latest and out by 12:00)
