I will be in Jersey and wanting to shoot this summer. What ranges do you suggest that will allow guests or temporary memberships? I can prove that I am a vet if that helps and maybe even possibly will be in the National Guard by then. I will be staying in West Orange.

I beleive there is a private club in NJ that is free to vets. I will ask at my next monthly meeting. Perhaps someone at CJRC can say as well.

There have been some range closures in NJ. The two public ones that come to mind are Brick Armory in Brick of Parkway, Exit 91 and the Bullet Hole in Belleville that's just north of Newark.

Been to the Bullet Hole once to just look around. When I told them I was moving to Jersey from Colorado they looked at me like I was an idiot. hahahahaha

brick armory is closing? didnt they just open? wow, whats the reason.

Brick Armory is alive and well in the Lakewood industrial park, right around the corner from their near competitor, Shore Shot.

Thats what I thought. =)

Thats funny, when folks at The Bullet Hole find out that I moved from Texas to Jersey, they do look at me like there is something really wrong with me!! Its a very funny look i get.

Brick Armory is a good place to shoot.

I'm retired military and shoot at Fort Dix at the Rod and Gun Club range. Retired and active duty costs $30 a year to be a member. $3 an hour to shoot. I prefer outdoor shooting, its just more fun. The fresh air and the use of a 200 meter range is tough to beat.

Also in Jersey ,ranges that closed in the last few years :

 

1. Englishtown Shooting range in Englishtown

 

2. Hillsborough Shooting Center in Hillsborough

 

3. Rays in North Plainfield.

I used to love shooting at Hillsboro. We even had my bachelor party there. For cold and nasty weather it is nice to have an indoor range close. I also shoot on Dix. Shooting at 200 is nice. I wish they had longer. There is something about shooting outside. Especially when the line is full and the first volley of fire fills the air with burnt powder. What a smell.

Hillsborough was great. It was the first place we (brother and I) went shooting.

 

Anyone know why they closed down?
