NJ/PA Rifle Range for MOR Practice

[davidwiz]

If this is the wrong forum, a 1k pardons, pls move.

Living here in the sun shiny state of NJ it is difficult to find suitable rifle range to shoot long distances (200+ yards). Before I get a bolt gun, I would like to know if there is at least one place that I can shoot it. I live in Southern NJ, near Philadelphia. Others on this forum have hinted at "hidden" ranges where 600+ yards is possible in SE PA. I'm willing to travel a reasonable amount of time (1.5 - 2 hrs) if necessary.

TIA,

David

New Holland Rifle and Pistol Club has rifle ranges from 100 to 600 yards in 100 yard increments. Dues are $40/yr. They also have covered 25 and 50 yd pistol ranges and 5 separate pistol pits, 2 with plate racks. Range is about 1/2 hr from the Morgantown exit of the PATP. Wings and Water, formerly Twin S is a public range near East Greenville PA where you can pay by the day. I think ranges go to 500 yds. Some of the customers are a little scary. I have been a member @ New Holland for several years and think its great.

David, this thread likely belongs in "match discussions". But, I won't move it there now...it will get lost in the 3-gun talk that is going on.

Bill - Thanks for the reply.

Flex,

I am also interested in where longer ranges than the 350 at CJ might be found. I think that if this is not the correct forum, maybe there should be a "Places to Shoot" forum, thread, topic, page or something that won't get lost. Maybe it could be set-up in a regional manner? or even by state?

Dave,

if you find a nice 1000 yard range open to the public or that has low membership, let me know.

Jim,

New Holland is about 1.5 hrs from Philly and Bill said it is $45 to join. Might be the ticket.

I've been looking for ranges at http:/www.wheretoshoot.org There doesn't seem to be very many ranges w/ 200+ yards in NJ.

Ranges in PA: Water & Wings in East Greenville PA (which is just off the Quakertown exit of the Northeast Extension of the PA Turnpike, about 1hr from Philly) has 500+ yards.

Ranges in DE: Bridgeville Rifle & Pistol Club w/ 500+ yards (don't know cost or other info).

Ranges in NJ: Central Jersey Rifle & Pistol Club in Jackson NJ has 300yards, but it costs a couple hundred dollars a yr to join; Cherry Ridge Range in Highland Lakes, NJ has 300 yards (don't know cost or other info); Cumberland Rifleman in Millville NJ has 500+ yards (don't know cost or other info).

If you want to go sometime, let me know.
