Took the orientation and joined up today. They had 41 people there for orientation. Chief Range officer was extremely knowledgeable. The Orientation was very thorough. Took about an hour. Went out and did some shooting. I think I am going to be very happy here. If you are in South Jersey, I highly recommend this range. They are adding a 10 yard handgun range and later on, a 1000yd range.

Was there as well, good orientation, was surprised by the large group and number of members 2000+. Very nice place appears that as long as you adhere to safety (common sense) and regulations that apply to specific ranges you are free to do just about anything that you wish. ie draw from holsters, move forward of the line to shoot etc.

If you go on a rainy day, you will have the whole place to yourself.

The 10 yrd range is a outdoor range? Any chance they build an indoor pistol range? I'm sure members would be willing to contribute some funds to build one.

Why would members contribute money to a privately owned range?  There is no say into what is built or where moneys go.

I figured this place works the same as CJRPC in Jackson where the members dues are used to improve the range. At least that is what a member told me.

What do the dues for for SJ club pay for anyway? Why are the dues so high?

The money goes toward what the owners want to do with it.  Your dues are for the privilege of using their range.

If they provide a good safe place  to shoot with very little restrictions i.e. sunup to sundown, 364 days a year how is that an issue? The place is clean, well maintained and they are expanding. I don't see an issue with that. I could pay less at one of the local indoor ranges, but then I have to use their ammo, deal with poor ventilation and long waits. This will only get worse with Bob's range shut down.

As a SJSC member since 2006, I'm very happy with the facility and the ownership.

 

Any of you that have an interest in High Power rifle competition there, please contact me.

The range offers a 100yd team in the TriCounty Rifle League, and also hosts monthly NRA Approved Tournaments (200yd) from spring thru fall, and the wintertime "Frozen Nutz" 300yd prone matches.

 

Thanks!
