I may be joining either the Central Jersey R&P Club in Jackson or the Monmouth R&P in Howell. Any feedback?

Welcome to the Forum and I would pick CJRPC..

I can't tell you anything about Monmouth, but I am a member at CJRPC. CJ is a top notch facility. For me the indoor range and the pits alone make it worth the membership fee. Other pluses are 300 meter rifle range, skeet and trap, an archery range, and if you're a hunter you can hunt on the property.

What frank said. =)

They are completely different. If the distance is the same, and price not an issue, you should go with the CJ. If you just want a 100yd low-key informal place to shoot, for cheap, then MC is the right place.

 

MC has three pistol pits, and a combined 50yd/100yd range. The trap range goes over the rifle range, and pretty much uses up the 3rd pistol pit and the rifle range, so you can't really use it except for when there is an organized event. CJ has a bunch of everything.

 

MC is slowly making things better (the new access road finally opened, so you don't have to drive almost across the airport runway to get there), and they are moving berms, but it really is run by a bunch of old men that don't do anything quickly. They don't care what you shoot, and no one looks sideways at black rifles, etc, but they aren't going to improve the "rural" character anytime soon. If no running water and a portapotty aren't your style....

CJRPC is a great range as AS350driver said above. If you wanna check the range out, lemme know. I am only 10 minutes away.

I checked out both ranges. Although I live in Wall Twp,I going with CJR&P in Jackson.

Thanks Guys, for the input

OK I'm interested in joining somewhere, as I'm in Columbus now. I thought it was Bordentown, but my significant other informs me differently. How is CJRPC as far as the "black rifles"? I've talked with the NJSP firearms branch, and I'm modding my rifles accordingly, but don't want to be hassled by "experts" every five minutes because they don't like my weapons, even if legal. (and this happens, even in PA, where I was born and raised, and EVERYTHING, short of AAA, and antitank weapons are legal"

CJ is plenty friendly to black rifles, you're g2g there.

Excellent, I guess next step is to get a a look see, at the facilities, looks to quite large on the interweb. They all seem pricey compared to PA clubs, though. Is this a result of regulations, or a general hostility toward firearms that makes it difficult to function?
