you guys have fun and dirty up your guns.

Will do Tim, I notice that when I shoot the Mosin, it really gets dirty real fast. Even with just a few shells, it is really dirty when I clean it but the 10/22 or Storm I can shoot a hundred rounds and it is hardly dirty at all. I guess the modern powder and primers make the difference.

OK, have a great time.

 

Your assignment is to find out, without a doubt, whether or not they allow 50BMGs.

 

If they do, I'll let you know when I'm heading down and you can give it a shot.....

Dave, they DO allow 50BMG, they have to inspect the firearm first and they will put us in a specific area.

 

 

On another note, it was nice putting faces with some names today...had a good time. It was a little cold, but it was pretty sweet to see they actually light up ~half of the lanes for some night firing.

Good seeing everyone out today. Saw some real nice guns there and had a great time.

Since this event has two threads going on, I will post these in here also.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I finally joined and experienced Range 14, and it was worth every penny.

When I was trying to figure out more information, I realized that the old site was taken down awhile back. I was royally confused, and I hope this can help. When I joined up this past Friday, I was given the flyer with their information, and noticed they had indeed updated their info. So, I just wanted to share some basics so people who haven't been there can start with more information then I initially had. Of course for further questions, contact them directly:

 

Phone #: 6095624676

 

Address: Bldg. 9060; Lat/long: N40.001117 W074.545768 (For an exact location)

- Maksim pointed out to me to input the intersection of Cookstown Browns Mill Rd & Cookstown-Wrightstown Rd (Lat/long: N40.047293 W074.562837), and continue south on Cookstown Brownsmill Rd for about three miles. After the first mile or so out of town, you'll hit a clearing (McGuire on the right), and as soon as you enter the woods again it will be Ft Dix land (you'll see a sign saying this). On the right and left you'll see bivouc areas and other ranges. On the left after 2-3 miles you'll see a larger sign with smaller text (readable from the road) saying "Range 14." If you go past it, you'll see "Bivouc 4" on the right, and eventually an intersection with a stop sign. After making the turn onto the road with the correct "Range 14" sign, it will take you to another stop sign-- go straight through a gated entrance. Follow the road past the skeet/trap (which is on the left), and the admin building will be at the end around the bend (where you'll see the rifle/pistol range).

Anyone happen to be there Sat around 10AM-11AM and see a civilian SUV drive from the back to front (road on right) during live fire?

No, but please explain.

I don't know the details but right in the middle of shooting a SUV comes coasting down the side road next to table 15, and pulls in front of the office, like nothing happened. By the time the RO noticed and called an immediate cease fire the truck was off the range. I think everyone stopped firing as soon as they saw the SUV anyway, and were in awe at the stupidity. It almost seemed like they were lost and trying to get to Range 14???????

I guess the RO was napping up in the booth?

Do i read this as, If i go with an existing paid member, and i join, it's only 15 bucks for me to become a member? not that $60 bucks is outrageous, but for $15, it's a steal..

Oops, it should read as "family members" :oops:

Sorry for the confusion, edit incoming...

Would Range 14 be open on a day like today? The rain has subsided for the time being, and the weather sites do say it should be clear for the most part for the rest of the day. IIRC someone said they are weather dependent to a certain extent-- and is the reason why I'm asking. If they're open regardless of the weather, my apologies for taking your time!

Probably open, I think they only close if it raining hard. You can always call them and ask.

Called earlier today to ask when their Friday schedule would end for the year. The last operational Friday will be 17 Dec.
