I will be going to range-14 for the first time next weekend. This will be my first time at an outdoor range. Any suggestions on what type of targets I can setup there? Do I need my own target stand? Can I use cans, bottles, watermellons, etc...? If I go on Sunday, what time should I get there to avoid crouds?

Usually really early, or closer to closing time is better/less crowded. Just give yourself enough time cause if you want to shoot for 2 hrs and there is an hour wait you dont want to get there at 2pm if they close at 4. Busiest times i would say are from like 10-1...

 

You can buy targets there (cardboard on a post or clays which you can set up on the ground) or bring your own. Check out their web site for details about what you can shoot. I usually bring some empty milk jugs filled with water and i used their target stands, but bring extra targets and a staple gun and keep reusing it until the post is completely shot up. Ill usually buy some clays and spread them out on the ground up to 100 yards..

 

You going this sunday or next?

Most likely next sunday. If I use empty soda cans, can I put them on some sort of wooden stand, or only on the ground?

You can prob put them on the ground (at least 25yds out) but i also see a lot of guys hang them on some sort of stand so they can shoot them several times instead of hitting them and having them bounce or blow around. you prob want to secure them somehow...

As I will be going to range 14 for the first time this sunday, I called them to ask a simple question. One of there range rules is that all rifles have to have a stock, so I called and asked them if a pump SG has to have a stock also, the girl on the phone didn't know the answer and asked some guy who was standing next to her. The girl has the phone in her hand and she is asking the guy so I hear the whole conversation. The guy starts to think out loud and says "I think NJ allows HD shotguns to have a pistol grip only" I'm thinking NJ allows HD SG to have pistol grips? I was always under the impression that NJ law does not restrict anything for pumps. Then he says at the top of his lungs "Ok, he can shoot it here as long as he doesn't do anything stupid or illegal" Are these people for real?
