Dear Firearm Enthusiast:

 

Thank you for contacting the Old Bridge Rifle and Pistol Club

 

The OBRPC is an NRA affiliated, private shooting club founded in 1963. We currently have a roster of over 550 members. Our facilities are first rate and extensive, consisting of both indoor and outdoor shooting ranges.

 

The Indoor Range is located on a 7.5 acre wooded site and consists of a 25 yard, 12 port shooting area attached to a large clubhouse. Here you may shoot most handgun caliber’s, air rifle and pistol and .22 caliber rifles. Magnums and shot shells are prohibited. The range is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

 

The Outdoor range is 100 yards long and has no restrictions as to caliber. There are also 15 to 30 yard, and 50 yard area suitable for pistol and rifle use. There is a separate trap range suitable for shotgun. This range is available 7 days a week from 9am to ½ hour before dusk.

 

The club has monthly scheduled competitions at both ranges. These generally consist of Bullseye, Steel Challenge, Action Shoots, adult and junior smallbore, Air Rifle and Pistol, High Power, Blackpowder and Trap shooting disciplines. Additionally, safe gun handling and marksmanship courses are available depending upon interest.

 

The OBRPC has a one time, non-refundable initiation fee of $300.00. Annual dues are $384.00 (Including New Jersey Sales tax) per year payable in 2 installments and 12 hours of work time per year are required. Family membership is available. All members are required to possess a valid NJ Firearms Identification Card or equivalent, and maintain membership in the National Rifle Association (NRA). We are a 100% NRA club ad affiliated with the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP).

 

We invite you to visit our indoor range on the 2nd Sunday of each month at 9am. Tour our facility and meet with our membership chairperson. Applications are accepted at this time. Please feel free to write or call for more information on the clubs number (listed at the top of the page.

 

To apply, please bring the following items:

 

Firearms ID card or equivalent

Firearm + 50 rounds of ammo suitable for an Indoor range

6 months dues + ½ Initiation fee

Negatory. Going to PA for a shoot there (I hope).

I brought my little Ruger 10/22 rifle with me last month when I joined. I shot 50 rounds before they realized I was finished. That little 22 made no noise, especially with all the handguns going off! Still have my target hanging in the garage, everything high and slightly right. Didn't realize my rear sight folds-down for some odd reason and I couldn't see those itty-bitty bullet holes from 25 yards away!

Wow, Learn something new every day - I never realized mine folded down.

Enjoy, it a good club, Good meeting you before they started with the formalities.

 

Harry

YES!!!

 

Ya know you just about had to pass my pad on the way home, missed some cold drinks and hot food and just happens there were a few boxes of 38's on the table. Not to mention some good folks.

 

Harry

Welcome to the club!

 

Watch-out for Smokin .50, he is a hell of a shot with that custom revolver!

 

I'm glad they "make" you observe/particpate in different events to become eligible to become a full-fledged member.

 

Got to meet Dave (Smokin .50) and a good group of people Friday night and learned just how bad I was with a handgun from 25 yards from odd shooting positions.

 

Did an outdoor steel shoot the next day at the outdoor range. It was HOT outside, but still had fun.

 

Next Sunday is another pair of outdoor events. I will do the shotgun thing this time around. I think they also have a steel event that day.

 

Hope you guys abd gals had a good time at Harrys. I was roasting all day at the track. Maybe I can make it next time.

Too bad you didn't tell me where the party was! I would have brought some adult beverages and grubbed some food. Oh well, there's always next time! Nice seeing you again. Maybe I'll get to Indoor Action on Friday night cause I think that I'll be mentoring a 14 year old trying to attain his Expert Rank in Muzzleloading Rifle this Sunday.

 

See ya around my friend!

Dave your always welcome to come by. We had a good time and I hope to do another one of these so I will keep you posted when the next one is.

 

Good deal on your son, he's got a great teacher, I know when it comes time for me to add a wheel gun to my collection your the first person I'm talking to.

 

See you Friday, I might have an old OBPRC member that is a friend who has made an appearance or 2 over the last month or so at the matches ready to shoot again, I think Mike D and I are getting to him about not shooting.

Mike,

 

Thanks for the Kudos! And thanks for being there! Without the great support & participation from the club members, we wouldn't have such a great league! And you're right, they really are a nice bunch. PPC is like a fine-tuned Swiss watch at this point. It practically runs itself cause everyone rolls up their sleeves and pitches-in to make all of our shooters, especially you newbies, feel welcome. I'm glad you had a good time and learned a little something. Hope it rains next month so you can be with us again!

 

Be well and be safe!

 

Dave

Sounds good Harry, so count me in!

 

The 14 year old I'm mentoring isn't my son. He's the boy that the club members all chipped-in and paid for a used .50 cal Hawken rifle back in December when Christmas was looking a little bleak cause his Mom got laid-off almost two years ago. To make matters worse, his Dad died when he was still in diapers, so Mom was the only paycheck. He signed-up for the Youth Smallbore League here at our club last year and that's how I was introduced to him. He took a shining to shooting the Holy Black, so Santa went to work to make something special happen in Old Bridge. The nicest thing is he's so respectful and thankful for everything. A real heart-warming story that I'll have to fill you in with the rest of the details at some point later (maybe Friday night).

 

See you on Friday. I think I'll bring the 586 & my eight speed-loaders, that way I'll place both first & last in my division, LOL!

 

Dave

Great story, interested in hearing more about it. Sounds like one of the stories you should be reading in a shooting magazine.

 

Harry

Dave, I think the wife may want to try it with me, let's hope for rain! Too many darn hobbies.......... I plan on shooting my 625 sometime during the week and see what it's like. She can use her Beretta.

 

What is the Monday Night Bullseye event? I see it on the website, but found nothing to explain what it is. I don't do anything on Monday nights so maybe it's time to go see what they're up-to. Just want to know what to bring in case it's something I want to participate in.

Bullseye is strong-hand only for the entire Match, shot at the full 25 yard distance. Most folks use a .45 Auto as well as a Ruger .22. Guns can be iron-sights or optics, as they have different divisions. Some folks bring their .38 target revolvers for the centerfire portion of the Match. Round-count is 90 rounds and it takes approx. 1.5 hours to shoot & score. Relays start at 4:30 pm I believe. You can give it a try or just watch and still get credit for an "Observation".

Hmmmmm..... I'll bring her 686 with wad cutters if that's legit. How many shots in a row? I couldn't imagine standing there shooting 90 rounds in a row, especially without speed loaders.

Mike, I think I did some sort of bullseye event a month or so ago, the one I did was all one handed(strong hand ) from the 25 yard line.....

 

Pretty sure it was like PPC with 6 shots , reload , 6 shots. All on the timer.

 

... I felt like a dope, hardly hitting the paper. Practice makes perfect.

I haven't shot it in a long time. With that said, I remember loading only five rounds in a magazine. I believe you shoot one or two mags at a target, then make the line safe and change & score targets. I'm not exactly sure. I do remember that there's SLOW fire & RAPID fire stages with separate targets. For complete details and COF go to: www.njpistol.com .

 

You'll have fun and see some great shooters too! Just like any other discipline, WATCH what they do and HOW they do it. During a break, ask your questions. Don't interrupt the Match while it's going on. When they score, go forward and observe. You might want to watch the first Relay and shoot the second one. They hold the Relays every 1.5 hours starting at 4:30 pm on Mondays.

 

Enjoy!

 

Dave

Well, I shall go over there and see what they're doing. I'll bring some stuff with me just in case I want to try it.

Man, I have 2 Colt Officers Model Match revolvers in 22LR and 38special begging for this event.

Well, I did it. What the heck is up with guys named Dave shooting the qwap outta targets?

 

I scored Daves targets, he "only" shot about 868 out of 900. Me on the other hand........ I was glad to be on cardboard from back at the 25 yard line. I scored a whopping 426 or so.

 

Some is slow-fire, plenty of time to shoot, look through a scope or binoculars to see where you hit, do it again. I still stunk! Then we had the rapid fire. I felt handicapped with the 686, what a heavy gun to be holding for so long. I'll get better.

 

These guys are no joke. Friendly, but I don't wanna be down-range of them if they are in a pizzy mood! They can shoot the eye outta a frog from 25 yards.

Mike,

 

See, I told you so! Those guys CAN shoot! As far as the revolver goes, it isn't really that heavy, it's just that you're not used to an extended session of mandatory strong-hand ONLY style shooting. It does take some getting used too. To avoid muscle problems, you'll see the Bullseye guys drinking water by the gallon, like pro athletes, especially in warm weather! That's one of the secrets to staying on target---not getting a muscle cramp in the first place!

 

If you're interested in shooting a lighter revolver (BEFORE you buy one) just let me know and I'll have a friend that shoots that league (Jim) show you his K-.38 Masterpiece S&W. It's a real tack-driver and can shoot better than I can hold it!

 

Specialty guns are like race car specialty tools. Sometimes you need that certain tool to do the job just right, but you can "make-do" with something else and "get-by". Once in a while you really need the difference. Those guys are at a level where they need what they use so it doesn't hinder them. You & I can "get-by" with lesser equipment cause we're not going to win the Match anyway, LOL!

 

Glad you had a good time! Are you ready for Indoor Action on Friday?? Yeah, I know, it has to RAIN, LOL!

 

Have a great day!

 

Dave

Dave, the fellow that ran last night with Richv had the strangest gun I ever saw. His "grips" were made from a piece of wood that fit his hand perfectly. Seriously, the grip appeared to be carved out of a 2x4 or something. When I saw the equipment these guys brought last night I realized that I would be getting my butt handed to me, but that's ok. I got to see what they were doing and then did it myself. Reminds me of when I started racing, we all get into a sport/hobby somewhere.

 

If I'm not racing on a Friday night that you guys have your indoor shoot I will be there!

Special tools & tricks of the trade. Each discipline has their share of "stuff you just gotta have" to get the highest scores possible.

 

This Friday is Indoor Action, which I call USPSA-Lite, LOL! It's just like the beer, only no gas, LOL! Maybe we'll see ya then?
