I recently moved to Mt Laurel and am looking for a place to shoot my Beretta 92. I've looked around on the internet but its hard to look up the location of every siingle place and see if its close to me. I dont know the surrounding area to well lol. It seems like Ft Dix is the closest to me but I was wondering if you guys had any other suggestions. I work for NAWCAD so I get the government discount which is a big plus. I do have a few questions about this range though. It says its only open on Wednesdays and Fridays (1-8) and the weekend (8-4). Is that referring to when the shop is open or is that the only time I would be allowed to shoot there? Sorry if its a newb question but I havent had much experience with outdoor ranges before.

Hi,

 

Here's a pretty decent link to ranges in NJ:

Good Luck!

Hey shooter! Welcome to the area and the forum!

 

Ft. Dix is a great range, but their hours are limited. The hours you saw on the website are the only hours the range is open for shooting. Especially with your gov't discount it would be $30? a month I believe.

 

A bunch of us go shoot at brick armory in Lakewood. We go every tuesday night and its alot of fun! The hours there are much more flexible than Ft. Dix.

BA seems really nice but the drive to there from Mt Laurel would be a real gas killer. I'm going to check and see if there is a way I somehow bring my gun on the base in Lakehurst because then I could go straight from work. There is a hunting ground here so there has got to be a way or a place to store my gun while I work.

 

EDIT: I just checked the website again and its only $30/ YEAR!

Do they allow non-residents to shoot there? This is not a permanant move so I am keeping my residency in MA. The application asks for my NJ FID number but I dont have an FID card since I am not and do not plan on becoming a full time NJ resident

I live one town over from Mt. Laurel, which is Delran, NJ. The closest options for you and me both is the Hague's Indoor Range (a bit pricey on ammo and fees) and Ready Aim Fire in Bristol, PA. You have to cross the bridge to get to Ready Aim Fire, but it is closer than the other ranges that everyone else has posted. I definitely wish there was something closer to us both. The Delran Range is closed, but perhaps they will re-open it soon...

PS - The south Jersey club listed in the previous posts is still about a full hour away from us...

I'm not sure but I can try to find out.

 

As for not intending to become a permanent NJ resident I think the late Sam Kinison said it best in the movie 'Back to School':

 

"Good answer. I like the way you think. I'm gonna be watching you."
