I have never been to Cherry Ridge, but I was looking at their website (anjrpc link) trying to determine if I could shoot slugs at the rifle range. I don't even have a shotgun...yet! But I have been holding out to hear some reviews on the KSG and now the Mossberg Flex modular system. So I anticipate making a decision in April and the idea of shooting slugs at 50 plus yards appeals to me, but I am just not sure where I could do this...Cherry Ridge rifle range???

 

Thanks,

Joe

I think most ranges let you shoot slugs at the rifle range. I know that's where we've dialed in ours. There isn't really an easy way to setup targets on the shotgun range (I'm pretty sure), but easy to setup targets at 50 or 100 on the rifle range.

thanks for the reply. I googled my question after I posted it and it took me to this forum where the question was answered a few weeks ago. Sorry for not searching prior to my post. thx

Keep in mind you can shoot slugs at any state-run WMA rifle range for the cost of a yearly hunting license, or just bring someone who has a valid one.

For what its worth to ya- CR membership is going up $30 3/1 from $210 to $240 for the initial single adult yr. Last meeting to sign up before increase is 2/5. And yes, slugs at rifle range only.

I don't think that is true. The WMA range regulations say: Shotgun is for fine shot (lead-free at Assunpink; smaller than No. 4 lead or No. T steel ammunition) only. NO BUCKSHOT OR RIFLED SLUGS.

Depends which range at the WMA. Some shotgun ranges for for buck/slug only. I jnow the shotgun range at Colliers Mills that is for bird shot/trap has been closed a long time.

You can shoot buckshot, slugs, muzzleloaders, and rimfire rifles at the properly designated WMA ranges, other WMA ranges are for skeet shooting only and limited to fine shot. As stated above, you must have a person in your group with a valid hunting license.

Can you show me a specific WMA range at which you can shoot buckshot or slugs?

Please see the link below under Muzzleloader range.

Got it. You can't use your shotgun at the shotgun range, but at the muzzleloader range
