Is it a one-time fee of $300 with no other fees to pay ever?

 

Since it's $150 per year, I think it makes sense to pay the $300 and be done with it.

I'll have to look into that. We joined on the family plan for a year, not being sure if we'll like it, but if there's a Lifetime family deal, it may be worth doing when renewal comes up.

Lifetime membership to the Range is $1320.00

Oh my lord did I read that wrong!!! :roll:

So, it's 10 year's worth up front. I think I'll just keep on renewing annually.

 

I'm hoping not to be here in 10 years.

Likewise.

 

By "here" I hope you mean NJ.

I was gonna say....I knew it was at least 1200 bucks.

 

$190 at signup and $132 after that is not that big of a deal.

Either way. It depends on whether or not I'm still a contributing member of society, or just a drain who doesn't get goobermint health benefits. :cry:

$300 is just for the association. =)

So after a membership you can use it as often as you want?

 

Trying to decide whether the extra 20 min trek is worth it.

Absolutely

All the ranges are covered minus the rim fire / silhouette range I believe. Plus there seems to be a growing group of us who try and get out every once in a while to do some shooting so you should definitely come and check it out. If you want to give it a try before you sign up, second sunday in August is the Monthly Clay bird shoot that I have set up and a bunch of us go and destroy a couple cases of clay birds. Guest fees are 25 bucks, if you don't have a shotgun no biggie, you can borrow mine, just bring some 12ga. light loads and your good to go.

I was actually thinking of joining on Aug. 2nd.

 

Coincidentally, I just picked up a shotgun 2 days ago, nothing fancy, Remington 870. I was going to start looking if they offered any classes in the area on the proper use.

I would go this sunday then and get your membership. It's definitely worth it and the following weekend come on out and throw some rounds through the new shotty. You'll be itching for more before the day is even over.

Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes. Bringing the wife Sunday, hopefully get her more interested.

Great. Now you can join us to Shoot on Aug 9 at Cherry Ridge. You can join the range on Sunday aug 02. Buy some #8s and you'll get a chance to shoot it 50+ times.

There are trainers right here on this board.

If you've not done hunters ed, go here: http://www.myoutdoortv.com/explore-the- ... ersey.html

Click on the "shotgun training" and watch the 14 minute video.

It's a good start.

 

As for hitting the target, that's mostly practice. You'll get that if you visit us on clay day.

Might I also suggest: Limbsaver RECOIL PAD REM 870/1187-336/1894

Worth every penny. Worth it at twice the price actually.

And I was worried I wouldnt use the 870 enough. Thanks for the advice will watch the video after work and pick up the pad, really looking forward to it.

It's funny that 50 rds thru a pistol is like a few minutes for me but 50 rds through the shotty with these guys is an hour or more! And it's not expensive.

Seems like more of a social event. Everybody's looking, and there's time between shots while the thrower reloads. Plenty of conversation and comradeship. Good times.

Tis is why I push the clay shooting events harder than the pistol or rifle events. It's a good way to make a couple hours disappear to get away from everything else thats going on in life and its fairly cheap. I just picked up cheapo light loads at 5.50 a box, so if i bought my own box of clays @135 clays for 13 bucks plus enough shells to shoot those 135 is another 33 dollars so your looking at 46 bucks at the high end. If i were shooting pistol, that'd be about 10 minutes of shooting

Exactly!

Plus, there's the instant gratification of seeing the clay explode into a cloud of dust.

Who carries clay pigeons in North Jersey?

I picked up a box from Simon Peter on 206 in Andover, but I'm guessing that Ramsey Outdoors in Ledgewood has them also.

i am in ramsey so i am going to check them out here

Meltzer's in Garfield has them.

Dicks in all their stores has them. There's a Dicks in Rockaway and East Hanover for us North guys. They're still building the one in Wayne.

davis in sloatsburg has them for 12.99 per 135 last time i checked

Just picked up 135 at Ramsey for $12 so I think I have plenty for anyone that cant pick them up. Something tells me missing 135 times would depress me considerably.

 

I'm going to stop by Dicks and get some ammo.
