Hey All...

 

I've learned so much browsing through the forum so I decided to officially join...

 

I live in South Jersey, Marlton to be exact, and I am taking the whole outdoors by storm this year... Long time fisherman, but decided to go all in and picked up a bow and applied for my FID with 2 permits...

 

My current plans are to pick up a Springfield xd9/xdm9, S&W m&p 22lr, and a shotgun (Remington or Mossberg maybe)... I'm open to suggestions so feel free to chime in...

 

Arms & Ammo seems to be the best place around to buy so I'll be stopping there soon...

 

I'm also looking at local clubs...

 

Telco seems real nice, has archery, close to my house, cheap, and pretty easy to join in but the no guest policy is a bummer. I have to believe its more fun to shoot with a buddy than alone...

 

Square Circle is also close and seems to have it all but my forum searching has made it seem pretty exclusive...

 

Any input is greatly appreciated and thanks for what I have leaned already...

Welcome! Check out South Jersey Shooting Club in Winslow. http://sjerseyshootingclub.com/

Welcome! Arms & Ammo is definitely the place to buy! Im considering SJSC as well, I have only heard good things about it. Enjoy the forums.

Welcome.

SJSC looked great at first, especially because with a slight detour I can pass it on the way home from work but then I learned all about only being able to go from A -> B and back with handguns in the car so I guess having it in my car for after work would be a very bad idea... I'll add it to the short list and if i really like it maybe it will be worth the drive on weekends... thanks!

Welcome to the Forum and A-&-A is a fine choice..

Welcome to the community. SJSC is a nice place and there is a sport shop currently being put together.

I have not been to Arms & Ammo yet so I can't add any of my oppinion, but a lot of people on the forum always have great things to say, I have not read a negative comment towards A-&-A.

Thanks for the info, does SJSC have anything setup for archery? I don't see anything online about it...

SJSC has an archery range set up to the national archery association standards? I don't do archery but they do have a course and when I was checking it out they told me they have one and that it was set up a certain way.

Thanks for the info... SJSC has just become a serious competitor in looking for a range...

After searching their website "There is a field archery course built to the specifications of the National Field Archery Association."

Another plus for SJSC they have monthly plate and three gun shoots if your into that kind of thing

Is there usually a wait to shoot on weekends at SJSC?

Ive have been there twice on the weekends early morning and not many people were there. I have never had to wait to shoot on a specific range. When I go I always go early in the morning and show up there like 8 or 9 and it is usually empty. In the summer when its nicer and sunny all the time, that may change. I have only been a member since September and have not experienced the summer shooting months.

Take it for what its worth from another South Jerseyian... I'm in the same position as you are waiting for my FID and P2P's. I've been to every gun dealer in a resonable driving distance in our area, don't waste your time, just call Paul at A&A, go there and you'll be sold. Unfortunately, he was the 6th place that I visited but if he was the 1st, I would have saved myself alot of time and frustration. As far as ranges, I've been to Bob's (great place but very crowded), Hague's is very nice but over priced, so yeah, I gotta check out SJSC for sure. I've heard no complaints about that place yet and you can take Gun For Hire training there too.

Yea, I'm convinced that Paul is the way to go... As soon as the permits arrive I'll be heading down...

 

Thanks for the info...
