Hello all,

Just moved to the Scotch plains area, any near by ranges you guys use.? Came from Newark, used bullet hole out of convenience before I moved.

Thanks

You're literally right in the middle of several ranges.  It's like 30 mins to Gun for Hire, Bullet Hole, OBRPC and SCFGPA from there...

Didn't know I had that many options.

Thank you..

OBRPC and SCFGPA are private membership ranges.  Only Bullet Hole and Gun for Hire are public ranges.

 

Other, slightly further public ranges are RTSP in Randolph and Tactical Training Center in Flemington.

I'm also in scotch plains, I was a member at old bridge for years but let my membership lapse due to never going because of time restraints. Prob going to start going to RTSP

LOL, your foot must be heavier than mine...

I'm in Scotch Plains also.   I find most ranges to be about 45 minutes.   I like OBRPC but no longer a member.   Currently a member of Shongum Sportsments Assoc., but that's an hour.  

Easton Game and Fish Association (EFGA) is prob about an hour from you. Outdoor range little over 10 minutes from first exit off 78 once you cross into PA (Phantom Fireworks exit). Very affordable and not much further than many NJ ranges.

 

3 covevered pistol ranges, one is rimfire only, a 100 yard rifle range and an "action pit" where you can practice drawing and firing and also shoot shotgun.

 

Yes it's further but for price it can't be beat and it's not that much further than most ranges in NJ. If you would like tour IM me and I can guest you in.

 

Also look for the shotgun shotout clay shots we have in Clinton few times each year. It's right off 78 at the Clinton Wildlife Preserve Area (exit 13). Lot's of fun!

Lake Island Rifle and Pistol Club in Carteret. It's indoors, 25yards only and you must pass a shooting/handling "test" to get in.  .22LR rifle only, but most handgun calibers accepted, no magnums.

Hmmm... do I remember an earlier thread saying EFGA was also building a 250 yd range? If so, do you know what's the ETA on that? Just curious. I want to try out some rifle shooting in Spring and have that range "tucked in the back of my mind" - because it's still a very affordable outdoor range from what I understand.

Based on the speed of them getting club steel for members, I expect the 250yd range will be completed approximately 3 months after the sun burns out.

 

I've heard rumors of a 200/250/300yd range for 4 or 5 years, and every time someone says anything at all about a date, that date comes and goes and no word at all about anything.  I think there may have been a single line about it in their mailer.  That's about the most official thing I've heard.  Or maybe it was just wishing and hoping real hard, and I just imagined it.

 

Would be nice to have - I'd spend the majority of my time on the 250 instead of the 100, and would hopefully clear up some of the other areas that are always crowded on weekends...even though they'd probably still manage to close down all the ranges for events

I want to be able to shoot .50BMG at easton.
