Hello gang,

 

anyone knows if Oldbridge outdoor 100y range is open? at least drive way is plowed?

 

thanks!

 

Not plowed --  enter with 4x4 only at your own risk...

thanks!!! saved me a trip!

Going to the range...

Maybe I'm speaking out of turn here, but aren't the dues and such high enough that the driveway should be clear when it snows?  Not trying to stir a pot, just thinking out loud. 

Unfortunately the snow now is beyond being plowed with a truck --  Only a loader will do it 

 

I would think that there are enough members with snow plow that it probably does get done when it's reasonable -- 

 

What do you do once the road is plowed?  Still nowhere to go.

ok fair enough

I agree.. plowing driveway is just a small portion.  there is just too much snow.

but Biathlon sounds like a really good idea!  and you dont need to pick up .22 brass

Actually it all comes down to the fact that we're not allowed to pave the road, and using a plow on gravel does more harm than good.   Over the last several years we're putting gravel down it has stayed nicer, longer.  TONS of gravel both on the road and in the Pits.  The Board already has plans for road maintainence in the Spring, after the thaw is complete.  As for the dues issue, well, there hasn't been a dues increase in 5 years, even though some expenses continue to rise.  We're still one of the best values around:  I have friends that bought memberships at NJ indoor ranges that cost from $300 - $2,500 per year....and they still have to pay by the hour for every hour they're shooting.  As Erma Bombeck was once quoted, "The grass is always greener on the other side of the Septic Tank"....

 

Patience is a virtue, lol!

I love my club.  fees are reasonable.  if I could change anything, it would only be to allow indoor range shooting forward of 25 yard  line  if no one else is around.  and of course anything longer than 100yd outdoor would be AWESOME!!

The "driveway" is half mile of wood roads. The indoor range has a nice clear parking lot, the woods road is a completely different kettle of fish.

You got the invention that plows mud and gravel? It's not paved. Indoor range gets cleared. It is paved.

Ok relax. I asked a question and it was answered, yesterday might I add
