They have post hole diggers, I also keep a small shovel as a part of my range bag for this exact purpose.

 

If it rains... well, I've been there when it started misting up a bit, but it didn't do anything to shut the range down. If its an absolute down pour, I don't know-- haven't experienced that yet. The lanes themselves do have a bit of cover-- as apparent in some photos, but hardly enough that I would call it "cover." I guess we'll wait to see what the forecast is like leading up to the day, and, if need be, the lines of communication will kept as open as possible to let people know whats going on with the range at least if there is a bit o' bad weather.

The shooting stations are covered. Unless it's raining sideways we should be OK. I would bring any reactive targets you can think of, and perhaps a stand to place them on that is non-metal. They allow you to shoot at stuff on the ground at 25 yards and further. Once you get far out enough, a little elevation helps because the grass is long in places. I will be bringing my steel swinging target. You can use these at 200 yards.

Ripe Tomatoes, Water and soda plastic bottles, fruit of all varieties, are all fun to shoot at. I find the best targets are those little metal wire realtor/political signs you see plastered all over the roads. Grab a handful. They are on public property and are a nuisance to clean up, so no one (except the realtor or politician that wants it there) is going to hassle you.

Well lucky me; After getting my car fixed courtesy of Bambi's cousin Gwen the newly replaced radiator is pissing coolant. I'm bringing it to the shop Friday so hopefully it's a quick fix or they'll have a loaner for me. I'm planning on going, but I'll have to play it by ear. I don't trust my gf's jalopy there and back so I'm without transport till this is resolved. Please don't let there be a zombie apocalypse till after I get it fixed. :pray:

If they are just pin-hole leaks, you can use Stop Leak. It actually works well. I did a radiator flush on an old van of mine once and sprouted a dozen leaks. I poured the stop leak in it and it never leaked again (until the next radiator flush:)).

It's a brand new radiator. I'll let them fix or replace it. &$%#ers. : :evil:

Usually it is a plug of some sort when a new radiator goes in.

Look for the leak, if it looks like a nut just tighten it. No biggie. No use losing all that time for something like that if it is the case.

I meant as a stop gap to get around without overheating. Make those guys fix their mkistake!

Chris, ChrisJM981 that is, I can pick you up if need be.

 

Can we do a buddy system? Or meet somewhere outside the range so we aren't a bunch of rag tag zombie killers?

Thanks Ray. I since contacted the dealer and they may have to send a tow. I made a mile and a half round trip to get to coolant with about 10 min between each 3/4 mile trip and the needle was 3/4 of the way up the temp gauge. There is plenty coolant in the reserve and I don't think it's getting put through the radiator. Coolant is all over the inner roof of the hood. I guess it's spraying out of something. :roll: Anyway I told them I'm bringing(or they're picking it up) tomorrow instead of Friday and that they're going to give me a loaner. I should be good to go.

excellent bro, glad your coming

 

I'm bringing my AR to sight in the EOtech, I was wondering if the 2 local AR lovers can help with that? They know who they are.

So, about this buddy system?

The possible rain for Sunday, as of this morning, doesn't seem like it should be an issue. Most forecasts are saying "possible" precipitation, and for no more then an hour for the day. The conflicting part of the reports is that it says its possible in the evening, but lists it in the morning in the hourly breakdown :? . Regardless, should be fine-- plus, a little rain should make it a bit easier for digging holes/hammering stakes into the sandy ground out there (for target stands)

 

Ray-- if I'm one of those 'local AR lovers,' I'll be glad to lend a hand ( ). If someone has a spotting scope/higher powered scope, that will make it easier (instead of having to wait for the cease-fires).

I have a spotting scope. Brand new - been wanting to test it out anyway

 

Looks like I'm in, since the MDTS class filled before I could register.

Awesome, thanks.

I'll be bringing a spotting scope too.

Guns I am definitely bringing: M1A Scout (I just bought new) and Savage 10 Precision Carbine. Both in .308

I will be bringing one of the following: VEPR in 7.62x39, Rem XR100 in 204 Ruger, M&P 15-22, CZ 452 in 17HM2, SKS in 7.62x39.

 

If anyone has any interest in shooting one of the "maybe" guns above, let me know and I'll bring the one that has the most people interested. I am leaning towards the VEPR or XR100 myself.

VEPR would be nice to try.

Got my car back. It was a busted radiator hose. I'm bringing my 20-60x spotting scope. maybe someone can show me how to adjust the darned thing.

If anybody has a P30 or P30L I'd love to try it. I think it's going to be between the P30L and Sig 226 e2 for my next purchase. Ray if there is a deli or Dunkin Donuts nearby we can grab a cup o' joe and then head over there. I don't know where I'm going.

I got mine sighted in for 50 yds last time at Cherry Ridge. That's a 5.5" target with the rings 1 inch apart. I'm not really a rifleman, but I'm satisfied with those results for my limited ability with a rifle. Once I got it to stop shooting high it's putting a decent group together.

Okay, so is there a dunkin donuts or a deli outside the range we can all meet at?

Ding Ding Ding!

 

Also, is there a website where I get directions? And what is the fee for a guest?

there ain't nothin outside to meet at, guests are $3 per hour. call me if you need to meet me somewhere Ray

Ok, did some looking for you DD fiends. The closest (and most accessible) Dunkin Donuts I could find is the one in Wrightstown, NJ:

507 E. Main St / Wrightstown, NJ 08562 / 609-723-3238

Here's a rough map where I noted the location of DD and Range 14:

I also highlighted the route between the two locations (with good ole red-brown ). For reference, from Cookstown (where Cookstown-Browns Mill Rd starts on the map) to Range 14 is 10-15 minutes. I've never driven into Wrightstown, so, I can't really give firsthand accounts of the area (in terms of traffic lights, traffic volume, etc).

For directions, I'm assuming from NJTP would be the quickest. You can Google directions from your place to the DD, and from there take:

a. E. Main St/Wrightstown Cookstown Rd east until you reach the intersection for Cookstown Browns Mill Rd.

b. Take a right onto Cookstown Browns Mill Rd, and follow it south until you see a sign on your LEFT that says something along the lines of "Range 14, Ft Dix Rod and Gun Club." Its an awkward left turn-- a bit sharp. Also, as you're driving on this road, there are a bunch of signs for other military ranges and bivouc areas... just keep going until you see the sign for Range 14 on the LEFT.

c. Follow this road through an intersection and gated area. Keep following the road down as it curves, you'll see trap/skeet on your left, but the admin office (to include bathrooms)/main parking lot/pistol & rifle range are at the end. There is no solid address, and using coords doesn't really work too well.

 

As for fees, $3 an hour for guests the same as members. $3 per round of trap/skeet as well. Targets they sell are additional (not sure about the price).

 

ETA:

For those who don't need their DD fix, you can Google directions to 1 Cookstown Browns Mill Rd / Cookstown, NJ 08511, and follow directions from b above.

Sweet. What time do you want to meet up at the DD?

You guys are hard core. I am always lucky to have my shit in order to make it to Ft Dix by 7:30-7:45am. Stopping for coffee beforehand is unthinkable.

That said...

If anyone is inclined to help a brother out, I would like a large dark roast iced mocha coffee. mmmmm

Ha just pack the night before. That said, this is going to be ridiculously early for me too! Speaking of, what is the consensus of when to meet?

I've never been to R14 before, so I'm going to need some guidance on how to get there. That's why I wanna meet up before.

There is a porch out front of the range office that has a big wooden table with chairs. How about we try to meet there before the open. That way we can go in and get tables next to one another.

Here are some directions. Hopefully they will help even if you're not coming in from thr Turnpike.

Yes, applicable if you are coming from the north via Cookstown.
