I am new to the world of sport shooting so I have been looking at gun clubs on the web. I have narrowed it down to two: central jersey and old bridge. Location is in old bridge favor but it looks as if central jersey is nicer and offers more. I am also worried since central jersey appears to be superior, that they have more members meaning more crowds to content with. I guess what my question is....which would you join?

I joined Oldbridge without ever even checking out central jersey, simply because of location. It's a easy 20 minute drive from my house to OBRPC, and probably over an hour down to jackson.

 

I like oldbridge alot, they have a 24/7 indoor shooting range, and a outdoor range with 100 yard/50 yard/25yard/shotgun feild for clays and multiple smaller pistol pits.

 

If your looking for ultra long range shooting with a rifle, you'll be out of luck because 100 yard is the longest lane.

 

Check the obrpc.org website , check the newsletters out. inside you'll find a calender with events that happen at the club throughout the month.

 

I cannot currently guest you in to check it out since I am still a probationary member, but im sure somebody will chime in if you'd like to check it out before making a descion.

 

I'm sure central jersey probably has better facilities, more lanes, and more activities, from what I hear, but Driving an hour plus to go shooting just isnt in my schedule.

Central Jersey is further for me, but the facilities are top notch. I like to shoot long range, so a 100 yard limit is a deal breaker for me. I have never encoutered crowds at CJ, except for Sunday mornings when they run events. Thankfully you can use the general purpose range if the high power is being used for an event. You can use the pistol range if the pits are in use, and vice versa.

I have friends who are members of both clubs, and some who are members of one of the two, but shoot league events at both. I guess it just depends upon whether or not you're into driving the extra distance. I'm a member of Old Bridge and I've shot at CJ more than a few times. Both are great places. If Steel is your bag, Old Bridge gets the nod as we host World Class Steel Speed on Steel events twice a year and famous shooters come out to shoot our matches.

 

If you want to visit Old Bridge, send me a PM and I'll guest you in to enjoy it.

Can you guest me in Dave and lemme try the 50 BMG?

 

I know people at both, I am a member of Old Bridge since it is 5 minutes from my house.

 

If I still lived in Millstone Township I would have joined Central Jersey.

 

My favorite place to shoot Trap though is Citizens.

CJRPC....the premier range in So Jerzey!

I would be a member of what ever club was closest to me and being in Sayreville I am an OBRPC member. Each have there pro's and Con's so take a look at each and make a decision, and don't forget to factor in time from your house to the range and how often you would go to one around the corner vs. 45-60 minute drive.

 

Harry

both are very good clubs,i belong to both.your decession should be made by what disipline your intrested in,if your a spoting clay ,trap, skeet person cj has the better facility for that disipline.if your a handgun shooter i feel ob has a wealth of knowledge to offer they have many master and grandmaster shooters.if you shoot rifle ob has 100 yd range max.cj has 300 yd range.where you live will also have a factor gas and driving time.i would be happy to guest you in to either club,if schedules allow.good luck on your decession

cjrpc is gtg.

Old Bridge, the pits are top notch.
