Have I got a deal for you! :twisted:

No pesky rules as long as the Ranger isn't around.

No keeping track of comings and goings.

No fees, dues or work parties.

 

If you really don't want to join a club or "pay too much" to shoot at a real range.

 

Get a hunting license for peanuts. Go to a place like Collier's Mill Wildlife management area range and shoot for free.

 

There is a 100 yard Garbage Dump, oops, I mean range at Collier's Mill WMA. I checked it out a couple of times before I joined the neighboring CJRPC. Evidently, you can shoot at anything. I saw old computer monitors, VCRs, glass bottles, and was ankle deep in spent shotgun shells and old food wrappers. There are 2 shooting tables behind a wall with windows to shoot from. (Goody, urban warfare/sniper practice.)

 

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with the WMA ranges and do not gain financially by your use of such.

I gladly eat tube steak instead of strip steak once in a while, to shoot at a decent range.

 

I belong to CJRPC because it's the closest, best range for me. If I lived in Northeast Jersey I am sure I would be a member at Cherry Ridge instead. YMMV

 

 

Update.

After shooting at CJRPC this afternoon, I decided to revisit Colliers Mills range. I was mistaken about the windows to shoot out from, there are Three not Two. I don't know what it is, but that place gives me the creeps. :character-jason:It is still a garbage strewn field with a berm. Yes there was a shot up chainsaw out there with the TVs and framed pictures of deer. And the gnats are worse than at CJRPC I think they are underfed by the state. The sign still says Shotgun, Muzzle Loaders or 22lr. From the looks of it there's a lot of use by a bunch of slobs. The last time I was there the range was being used by a couple of redneck boys that needed baths, shoes, haircuts and had less teeth than me. I only stayed about 30 seconds. As I said before YMMV.

 

PS. Did I say I don't like it? I won't be going back again.

Where is this located?

keep in mind, rimfire or shotguns only.

Also remember that the shotgun range was closed in Colliers Mills. Rimfire rifle and muzzle loaders only. (no handguns) You need a valid hunting license on WMA soil.

And the place is patrolled by the state wardens. Don't get caught shooting there....

I've been shooting at WMAs since I was 10yrs old. While I've never been to the Colliers Mills range, the ranges at the Clinton WMA are fantastic IMO.

Did you just say you eat tube steak to shoot at a decent range???

I went to Colliers Mills range once. Watching the people who were shooting scared me and we left. Seeing the Pineys who were getting out of the little S10 P/U scared me even more. It was probably one of the most unsafe dispays of firearms handling I have ever witnessed.

 

I have shot a lot up at Clinton. That is a nice range.

Yes. HOT DOGS! Get your mind on the food and out of the gutter. :roll: I thought you were our resident gourmet. What ever happened to that thread about whats for lunch, anyway? I want to stop at some of the places mentioned and try them out.

 

Hot dogs and beans instead of steak once in a while to allow the dollars saved to go to something else I want more than the momentary pleasure of a filet mignon. It is an old fashioned thing us senior folks do when necessary.

Actually, you can shoot shotgun at the Muzzleloader range.

I drive by there twice a day most weeks, have been over by that little range once or twice just to see it. It does look like a dump, but then again, a lot of spots in the woods are like that around there. It is the people that frequent the place--NJGF members excluded of course ---that dont encourage me to go get a hunting licence and try it. I would fish over there for sure, or at Prospertown Lake.
