Sure...I asked Brad if it was ok to snag a few pics...

On a side note I think I might come down with a cold on Tuesday...cough cough...might have to call out sick lol

Wow, that showroom looks awesome, nice and airy. really nice.

Its very spacious. They def paid attn to a lot of detail...Especially between the doors to get into the range from the showroom. Those doors are set up cool too...the 2nd door won't open until the first door closes, in either direction(in or out). But yea, you're not gonna feel like you're about to knock everything over if you sneeze holding your stuff lol. Also, the building they're in is bigger than the actual range/showroom, so theres def room for expansion in the future should it be warranted.

Yes, I drove by and was hoping to stop by when they had no power... so saw the range from the outside.

looks pretty sweet!

Nice pics.. place looks great! Dammit why couldn't they be closer!! :thsmiley_deadhorse:

The lights above each port are also dim-able. Another cool feature is each firing lane has its own light on each target. If your the only one there shooting, only your lane is lit and the rest are dark. Pretty bad a$$.

Wow, can't wait to burn some powder this Saturday!

Looks great! I'm planning to go over there tonight if I get out of work early enough, if not I'll definitely be there Sat.

This place will be a state-of-the-art facility that will always have to be manned in a relatively expensive area near Morristown, Mendham, etc., and the people living in that area can afford to pay the range fees, easily, and in some respects, it will keep a lot of the "undesirables" out. I would be hesitant to pay that, especially if I didn't know if it would always be packed and I would never get the opportunity to use. And, I cannot see spending all of that money for a range that seems to nicke and dime you with bringing a rifle, etc.. I would hope you would get your own locker, etc.

 

I would actually be a member of Cherry Ridge and think it is a better bet hands-down, up north, even though there seems to be too many rules and a lot of busy bodies, and I don't particularly care for the fees and guest policy.

Just saw pics of the range/showroom. It looks damn fine, a lot better than I thought it would. I'm still unsure if I'd plop down the money for a membership, but if after the opening it gets favorable reviews, I'd be happy to have a new range to go to instead of that POS Bullethole.

Just got back from shooting there......

 

You will not be able to compare the BH to RTSP.... just not close....

 

Owners are great guys..... willing to help and listen....

 

Range.... plenty of space

 

HVAC system...... awesome....

How are the acoustics? "quieter"?

Not sure..... There was one guy in there when I got there...... shooting something big..... I double up regardless indoor..... so you cant go by me....

 

But I will tell you, in the end, another guy to my left was shooting .223 ...... didnt seem bad at all....

Yeah the place was very nice!

 

I am guessing the guy next to you shooting .223 was me in lane 1. I had a blast, cant wait to go back!

Probably was!!!!

 

Cool..... Welcome to the forum!!!

 

You didnt bother me at all..... and I will say at the Bullet Hole.... the AR's can be annoying....

 

Next time.... say hi!!

I was there today shooting as well around 330 and only one other person shooting.

 

The facility is great. Clean as a whistle as you can expect and there is PLENTY of room in the showroom and break area.

I was there as well. Very nice place. Still has that "new range smell". Brad and Rick were very friendly and accomodating even though I got there around 5:50pm.

Can't wait to go. I guess it was a good thing I joined.

 

I shot my AR once at the bullet hole out of desperation and I couldnt hear for a day. It sucked and I'll never do that again.

I'd send a message to them directly, but with final setup going on I'm sure it will take them a while to get to it.

 

This is listed under the member information section:

 

Unlimited Visits to the range – 1 hr intervals – Monday – Sunday

 

What does that mean? Am I limited to one 1 hr session a day? If not do I have to wait behind everyone else waiting (public & member) or just members? Does it depend on availability? I can't see driving an hour there to only shoot for an hour then driving home. If I'm only going to shoot for an hour I'll go to the craphole. If I'm driving an hour I might as well go to CR.

Yea, forum post much faster lol...Email or call them direct prob be the best way to get an answer from them.

Question:

 

What kind of shotgun ammo is allowed at the range?

 

Someone told me that only slugs are allowed. I really hope that is not true.

 

If that is true I hope RTSP would reconsider that rule.

I would imagine that after your 1 hour is done, you go back to the end of the line (if there are other shooters waiting) so they can get their turn. This is important because I've been to other indoor ranges in other states and most don't have que... so that means you can be waiting forever for a port to open up... and that just sucks. Happened to me twice in South Carolina... ugh.

 

If no one else is there though, then I'm sure they wouldn't mind you staying a bit. That's my take on that particular rule...

Your friend is right, no buckshot or birdshot, slugs only according to the rules on the site.

I've seen many lights popped from birdshot so it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't allowed.

That's ridiculous not to allow buckshot. Birdshot could be argued, but not allowing buckshot? Damn.

Can't say I blame them. I've seen people attempt to hit a headshot with buckshot at 25 yds and basically destroy the target holder because they didn't take into account the spread of the shot at that distance.

What Pete said.

 

 

Have you seen people shoot?

Am I the only one here who is wondering why someone would be shooting buckshot at a stationary target indoors? If you're patterning in preparation for hunting, save your money and goto a WMA... Otherwise: why?

 

To me, that's almost as wasteful as shooting an M1 Garande at 25 yards indoors... That's almost point-blank range for a rifle like that.

People will have their reasons.

 

I've shot buck indoors at 7 yards. Why? Too see where the approximate POI would be.

 

I've shot my Mosin inside at BH too... Why? Function check.

 

Shooting AR's indoors - just to get some trigger time and to function check? Why not.
