How do you like it? Outdoor correct?

I enjoy shooting there. Set up the coconuts and watch them explode.

I like it... inexpensive and close for me. After a day at the range.. it's Taco Bell in Wrightstown.

OH....NO.... Did I start another food thread.

I'm thinking about joining up this Spring. Its closer to me then BA, and I prefer to shoot outdoors regardless. My only objections are the days the range is open and the weather-permitting hours.

I was there to join a few months ago and haven't been back since :roll: Kind of a trip from where I am and heard that the pistol range was closed (?). Plus, I kind of stumbled upon it last time after being lost... so that kind of sucks too!

It's a nice setup. We lost some time because of an emergency cease fire that we never got back but besides that it's not too shabby. Was a little nippy out there but not bad.

 

I do like the skeet houses though!

Don't know, the range had just gone hot, I had put a round in the Mosin, closed the bolt, and the guy came over the loud speaker and said there is an emergency cease fire please unload and step back. We stood around for 30 minutes with no one in sight doing nothing. So something might of been going on the other side of the berm but we don't know. And they never gave us the time back. so the let the range go hot, and he goes there are 5 minutes left in this sessions before we had gone cold again, it was SOO stupid. But oh well

Pistol range was open today.

 

This was the first Emergency cease fire I ever encountered there. All in all it was a good day at the range. Will have to do many more.

And find out about the skeet houses.

Walmart.... ammonia is dirt cheap. or windex, or anything.

 

wait, pistol range was open? nice.

 

we stayed till close.

 

btw... there was a kid there, who tried to pick up some brass from the ground.... some douche started yelling at him and said he couldnt pick up front the ground, only from the cement part. that was a bit douchey. (sp?)

That's because that said guy goes around and collects all the brass for himself. I woulda told him to eff off :)

i have seen him there for years, I thought he was old crotchety with nothing else to do. He never tries to pick up my brass, and never yelled at me for picking up brass on the ground from other benches

Pistol range is is open again? Cool, I hadn't bothered with Dix lately, with that closed, and short days. I work there but have to go all the way home to get my stuff & bring back, which takes me past CJRPC twice, so haven't bothered. With deer hunting over, hopefully its less crowded on weekends.

The emergency cease fires are almost always due to someone wandering/driving into the range complex somewhere they shouldn't be. Or some training event that requires movement in the impact area, or EOD sweeps of there. Weekends are the busiest time at Dix training areas, with all the NG/res units from Army, AF,USN,USMC,USCG, cops, COs, boy scouts, sea scouts, military school cadets, whatever out there.

ive been shooting and Hunting at Range 14/Fort Dix for years now and I love up there. Its a little commute for me so usually im there ALL DAY- rifle,handgun and skeet usually.

I think that guy yelled at the kid because he was concerned about his safety. You know kids.

He will pick up a shell, and next thing you know, he's out on the firing range, while Bubba is chatting away about his 'Nam experiences. The reason for the flags, from what I heard, was because someone decided to take a little hike down range to reset his target. Too bad it was during live fire. It takes all kinds.

I've got some old Diazit developer. It can make your eyes water from a great distance.

This was after the last cease fire and the range was empty, all firearms cased and in cars.

I also shot yesterday for the first time since joining Range 14 a little while back. Thanks to Tony for leading the way so I didn't look like too much of a n00b. I had a blast and will be going back. I want to do trap too so I can practice with my new shotgun. It is about the same distance from my house at CJ but much cheaper. I saw that brass guy, he had that little rake and was picking up everybody's brass. Man, I bet he had over a thousand rounds in that bag he was carrying. I only had a little bit of .40 S&W and picked it up before he got to me ;)

Anytime is good for me, what are we shooting? :)
