So i had was reading over the Lehigh Valley Sporting clays post and decided to go there today. Awesome course and a beautiful day to shoot. It was my first time shooting sporting clays and my first time shooting a shotgun in probably 5-6 years. I think i did pretty decent with a 64-100 on the blue course with a loaner 12ga beretta (love that gun by the way, wish i could afford one!)

 

Anyway on to my question, are there any good sporting clay courses closer than LVSC? I was talking to one of the employees there and he mentioned one down in pennsville, but said the terrain is not as good, tending to be more flat and open. I would love to be able to drive out to allentown every weekend, but it is definitely a hike for me. So any suggestions on a good course would be great!

I am in Central Jersey and the drive to Lehigh is the same as it is for Cedar Creek and M&M, Lehigh is much nicer.

Have to disagree Sir. Joe at Cedar Creek and the Matarese family at M&M, are top notch target setters. The courses are different than Lehigh but just as nice, if not nicer. Depends what you like of course.

I agree, the Matarese clan are good people. Anthony gives great lessons. I prefer the laid back attitude of M&M to LVSC. I like them both bit spend more time at M&M. I tend to go to LVSC when M&M closes in the summer.

Duplicate, sorry.

 

And for me, M&M is closer by half hour. So is cedar creek. My preference would be M&M, then LVSC and then cedar creek.

Both times I went to Cedar Creek and M&M there were a lot of stations dead, and I mean a lot. Not very well marked either........... I did not try the harder course at M&M so I can't speak for that one. I will not go to Lehigh on weekends though, too many New Yorkers, place gets packed, I will only go during the week. Heck, I only do Sporting Clays during the week anyway to avoid the crowds. Not saying I won't go back to the NJ facilities, but I prefer Lehigh. Falls Township in PA (right across the river from Trenton) does a cool Sporting Clays setup on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month, open to all. If you go, make sure you have sunscreen and a hat, there is NO shade out there on their course! They have a nice clubhouse you can hang out while waiting for your group, no need for a golf cart, not a lot of walking, they have food available in the club house, or bring your own. I think they call it 10 stand. It is interesting and certainly worth the ride.

I shoot at m&m and quinton
