Garden State Shooting Center Vs Shore Shot Pistol Range

Featured Replies

Both of the above locations are not too far away from me.  It looks like Shore Shot is more popular on Instagram and Yelp. But can anyone give any feedback between the two?

 

Thank you

I’ve used both locations and purchased from both. Back years ago, Shore Shot had a much larger inventory and stock of handguns. They also had much longer lines on weekends for range use. Again this was years ago.

If I had to choose one location it would be GSSC as I never had to wait for a lane there, but maybe that’s changed.

I have visited both, and bought a handgun at GSSC, but have not shot at either facility.

I will say, i was much more impressed with the store front facilities and the staff at GSSC.

 

Shore Shot once told me it was illegal for them to hold a gun for me while I waited for my permit. I intended to pay full price in advance. Never went back.

I was formerly a member of GSSC and continue to attend our monthly meetups there. I had purchased numerous firearms from them and the service I received was always excellent. I have the highest regard for the integrity of Tony, Jeff, and their staff, and any future firearms purchases will also be from GSSC.    For me, I also found their facility (parking area, inside lounge,etcj to be a more welcoming environment. 

Gssc 100 percent, will never go to shore shot again after the price gouging after sandy hook 

@GSSC good peoples! Look no further 

neither, I'd join cjrpc which is in your AO if you're looking at these.

He asked and i provided an alternative.  Why would anyone not do that?

Brick Armory, all day long.

"But can anyone give any feedback between the two?"

Wait a minute, we're supposed to stay on topic around here? To the OP, If I can make a suggestion, why not visit both and get a feel for which is best for you? Spent the morning at GSSC today.

Oh JHC, feel the butthurt coming on.    There is nothing wrong with providing an alternative. If the OP is smart, he will look at all clubs within his AO.   Personally I think both of those clubs suck for the price  Which is why I suggested central Jersey rifle and pistol club which is going to be the best in his proximity.

 He He may not even know that club exists and given his driving time to both locations it would only make sense to include it as a 3rd

Had a member show me around CJRPC a few years ago, great facility. I'd join in a heartbeat, just can't justify the approx. 1K for the first year at this time. Definitely better than being stuck inside all the time though.

Agree, 1st year is the bite the bullet but after that, its much more cost effective. i haven't seen what the one time facility contribution fee is but I'd imagine its more than the 300 i had paid

I used to be a member at the G S S C for about 2 years, & I definitely enjoyed going there to use the rage as often as possible. Very good range with working ventilation system, & target carriers that work properly. Also, the store always had a really great selection of all types of firearms, even though I never purchased anything from them. I definitely very highly recommend them.

I'm in the same boat...  I shot at BA years and years ago with my .50 Desert Eagle and they were more than accommodating.

My issue is that they're the exact same distance from me; however, I am seeing that SS has no ventilation?  I've never been there...

Does BA allow rifles?  I just built an AR in 223 / 556

 

CJRPC is too far for me unfortunately. :-(

Brick Armory is dead. Since 2015 or so, the facility is now Garden State Shooting Center. The new owners renovated the showroom and range. It is a whole new place run by honest people.

They allow rifles up to 300 Win Mag. No green tips or steel core or other armor piercing ammo.

Been going to GSSC since they opened, very satisfied all around. You won't be disappointed, IMO compared to others I've been to they're best indoor range around.

How does one join CJRPC?  I just read but why does my D/L have to match my FID when it doesn’t for me to buy a firearm?

Their website now says GSSC is now WeShoot.

Wow, just checked their website and you are correct. As a fan of GSSC, I wonder what has changed. (Eg renovation, change in branding, and/or change in ownership, etc???).
I see no info on the new website concerning the change from GSSC.

Was a big fan of Tony and Jeff. Hope they are still running the business.

Just saw this as well.  
 

just looked at their Facebook page. It says two of the original owners (Jeff and bill) are retiring, and Tony took on new partners.

appears to be a rebranding.
