I was a member at cherry ridge about 10 years ago, and I recall being frustrated at the 25 yard only pistol setup..

I see from their website info that there are turning targets at the pistol lanes, but the info listed here says pistols are still 25/50

Is this correct?

Also, are there any improvements (or problems) anybody would like to make me aware of?

Funny thing is, I live about 3 miles from Tenafly rifle and pistol club, but .223/5.56 is a no-no soooo...

I plan on shooting rifles and pistols almost equally and cant really see paying an hourly rate at an indoor range to shoot an AR @ 25 yards, not to mention walk-on ranges always made me cringe a bit...So any helpful info, or alternative ranges in the NNJ area would be appreciated!

There weren't any turning targets at the pistol range a few weeks ago. Nor do I know where they're getting 100 yards for pistols. Shrug.

 

They also mention barricades for police shooting, which means the website is "pre-updated". These things will probably be along in 2012 whenever they're done and unless much has happened in the past 14 days, they're not in yet.

 

Handgun Range: Twenty five, fifty and one hundred yard with turning targets at 25 yard range. Portable target frames used to shoot at closer distances. Covered firing ports with electricity available for match amplifiers, chronographs, etc. There is a light and sound system for cease-fires. Forty-seven firing ports with barricades for police combat. Shooting benches scattered throughout. Right hand side is reserved for black powder shooters and has racks to ease in loading.

I understood that you could shoot a pistol at the 100 yard range if you were bench shooting - I could be wrong, but I'm too lazy to check the site :\

 

The pistol range is 25/50 already, but I haven't seen any turning targets. There is a .22 plinking (Silhouette) range with 'falling targets'; not sure what that means.

The turning target contraption was rebuilt about 1 1/2 yrs ago and its below the 25 berm but I dont know when it gets used. Ive seen it used for the state champ qualifing but who knows when else.And I've never seen a 50 yd target set up there at the pistol range.Not saying its never done but.... Otherwise lots of stuff most being very recent is going on. Do a Cherry Ridge search right here in the"Ranges & Gun Shop" topic for lots of reading.

 

Edit- I now remember seeing the 50 set up for the state match

I believe I remember reading in the rules that they will let you shoot handguns on the 100 yard range if you can demonstrate thay you can hit targets on the 50 yard range. I'm not sure exactly who verifies that, but if you're really interested, I'll check with the RO's next time I'm up there.

Actually I was hoping to shoot closer than 25 yards! Seems doubtful I'm gonna train @ 100 yards with my pistols

sounds like not much has changed in 10 years,

are you able to at least setup target stands inside of 25yd?

Yes, they have moveable target stand bases that you put your stand in at any range. Or you could probably use your own base if you have one.

Thanks, good to hear!

CR-here I come!
