I wondered why they did not have action matches. The reason is the range is just too busy with too many other matches and activities. The members complain already that the range is closed too much. There are plans for an new area for action matches so stay tuned.

 

The range is too crowded for steel. Someone is bound to get hit with splatter. I've been hit a USPSA matches. You learn where not to stand.

 

The ROs are cool once they get to know you and see you know what you are doing. They like Old School so they cannot be that bad.

 

You may be able to shoot rapid fire accurately and safely but the neebie next to you cannot. But he sees you and figures he can. I think it's better to err on the safe side rather than have a range out of control.

 

You mean you can take the pistol range and one day a month for IDPA and USPSA and have some matches? Pass

 

Too crowded for steel? The pits at Old bridge are like a garage yet they manage. Pass

 

ROs (and the guy that likes to be in control and push the button when the ROs are in the club house) are too controlling. Pass

 

Rapid fire isn't going to kill anyone, and it's not dangerous. Another one of those things where losing freedom for safety. Pass

I just joined CJ and am considering CR. I know OB has the freedoms we all wish for.

Even with all the sh*t talkin, (myslef included) I will still shoot at the Bullet Hole.

Why? Bc it convienent for ME and nobody BOTHERS me there! (except Anthony from GFH, but i dont mind)

Key fob? Guess I'm outta luck! Been 3 mo's and I still haven't gotten my range pass!

How did a thread about a gate,devolve into Cherry ridge range bashing ?

 

This range is so bad that membership to it increases 80+ monthly.

 

I have never had issues with the RO's, I guess I have treated the property as if I had owed it and have not done anything I would not do at my property

 

Cherry Ridge, IMO has evolved in to the "NRA State range" it is supposed to be.

 

It is not an Assault training range,it is a target range.

 

And In the USA we still have the right to chose which range to join or Not.

i like Cr and Ob both good places to shoot and again the bullethole is a good convenient place to shoot also... but wma's are where its at for free most of the time to me

Ray Ray,

 

Steel is one day, USPSA another, IDPA another, Cowboy Action another, bulls eye another. Before you know it, every weekend day is taken up by a match.

 

CJ, Old Bridge, both have extra ranges for this. My understanding, CR does not, and those matches would close up the range. If you do not shoot matches, how would you feel about you not being able to shoot pistol any weekend day? Last I checked, most were shooting weekends.

Key fob? Guess I'm outta luck! Been 3 mo's and I still haven't gotten my range pass!

 

Please email me and we will fix this asap! [email protected]

Then how are guests supposed to get in?

 

There will be a buzzer and intercom system to the RSO and Range manager.

I was wondering the same thing. I sometimes have guests meet me at the clubhouse if it's out of the way for them to meet at my house. Do I now have to either wait at the gate in my car blocking the road or park in the lot and walk back and wait for them? I realize this is an exception rather than the norm, but still curious nonetheless. It might just be something we have to deal with to have increased security. I have plenty of other questions about how it will work, but it might just be better to wait until it's operational and see for myself. Anyone know an ETA when it's expected to be operational? I assume they have to get keycards/passcodes out to all members prior to flipping the switch.

 

They RSO will buzz your guests in.

So did I , TWICE!

 

If you emails me it may have went in my spam folder because I turn this stuff right around. Please PM me.

Epic fail by the RO, we will not wait until renewals to issue fobs! The gate will be finalized and operated with a button for a while to prevent people from forgetting about it and driving right through it (on their way to rapid fire Ray).

 

We will then start issuing new members on Sundays their fobs and existing members will be told to go to the clubhouse for their fob. We will be setting up a computer so we can also update member info.

IDPA/USPSA/steel matches or the like?

 

I understand Steel and IDPA for ya Ray, but I see your mentioning USPSA more often. lol Come on dude, what's ya waiting on, I;ll just bust your shops a little, heck I'll do that now anyway, but I can't speak for the others. LOL

 

I know if you try it, you will like it, and there is a wheel gun division..

USPSA means run-n-gun, something frowned upon with the old fudds up there.

Ray Ray I'm going to have to disagree with you.

 

The current setup at Cherry ridge does not under any circumstances lend itself to an IDPA or a USPSA event at all.

 

In order to do that, they'd have to shut down the entire pistol range. Secondly the left hand side of the pistol range is bermless, they can't have people runnin and gunin without a berm on that side. Also if memory serves me correctly there is a berm on the right hand side but it is fairly inadequate but I could be wrong on that one.

 

Secondly that range has TOO MUCH CRAP going on as it is, the last thing I want is IDPA or USPSA coming to town shutting down the range that I pay yearly dues to, so people who aren't members can come and shoot at my club NO THANKS!

 

Cherry ridge just does not have the acreage to do the type of stuff that places like CJRPC can do since they have all those pits. If what they say is true, and they plan on putting a general purpose area in where we can "possibly" shoot steel and other items that aren't paper, I will be more than thrilled. If they also actually put throwers in at the trap range / possibly put a trap house in I will be beyond thrilled.

 

But the current way the ranges are laid out, they take up too much area and with the two ponds and the rock cliff down by the silo range among many other hindering characteristics for that range, really limits what can go on there. If I remember correctly, they are pretty much at their limit with useful land.

Well put Matt, that makes sense.

Are you sure about that Dan? I know there is a half naked picture of him on here at NJGF, could you imagine what other pictures he has on "other" websites. Yikes!

Most of the time we think you've just had a stroke.

I have no shame, and I really don't care what people think of me. You and Daniel should know that by now.

As of when is the Keyfob edict in place? As an existing member, I just go to the RO/clubhouse first and get my keyfob? Which is tied to my membership ID right? Will RO still be roving on busier times and taking control of the line? I noticed on my last visit, NO RO means the shooters are not as cooperative as they should be.

 

IE, loading a fresh magazine at the designated target changing times and then huffing, puffing, complaining that "target change again or something like that". Is there an initiative in place to remind members about predetermined target change times?

 

Overall I enjoy Cherry Ridge when I'm there, it is one of the only local options. But it does seem that members are less and less inclined to follow the rules over the last couple years. Maybe laminating the basics and placing it it between the safety line and firing line could work. Other wise, one has to argue with another member or try and find an RO. it only takes a few people not following the basics to cause the problems.

No date has been set for the key fobs yet as I said the gate will be up for a few months to allow members to get used to it and then the Range Trustees will implement the fob distribution. As far as the RO's are concerned they and the gate have nothing to do with each other, they will still continue to rove. There is no intention to be come a member "self RO" range. As far as target changes, this is the first I have hear of this problem.

I was there just before hunting season and they had Ro's on both the pistol and 100 yard rifle all day long just an FYI

Maybe laminating the basics and placing it it between the safety line and firing line could work. the rules are clearly posted at each and every range and have been since 1936,laminated cards have been up on the barricades for over a year Other wise, one has to argue with another member or try and find an RO. the orange call boxes at each range are there for that very propose(to call a ro) it only takes a few people not following the basics to cause the problems.yes it does

 

it is every members responsibly to act safely , and every time I have been there there has been an Ro on the range.

 

There is always an RO on the property anytime the range is open.
