I found the Atlantic County Range but I really don't feel like shooting somewhere where I'll be treated like a child with some off-duty cop standing over my shoulder the whole time. Not to mention that I have to go back for 2 separate classes over the next 3 weeks before I can even shoot. Does anyone know of any other ranges in the South Jersey area? I haven't been to the range in over a year now and I'm having serious withdrawal issues.

There is Delran Junior Marksman in Delran of course. You can check them out at:

I am a member of Delran but they are only open on the weekends from 12:00 noon till around 4:30. I was never at Telco so I can't tell you what that is all about. I just happened to have their card in my wallet.

Millville Range
Dan,
I WAS a member of Cumberland Riflemen years ago. I gave it up because I was a member of too many different clubs. When I was there, It had a 600 yard range, a 100 yard range and a 25 yard pistol range. I understand from other shooters that they have an active competition oriented rifle team. It is on Route 49 a few miles east of Millville on the left hand side (going east) across from a Conectiv (elec co) facility. There was talk that they were going to move because of conflicts with neighbors but as far as I know, that has not taken place. Quantrill

Can you get to Fort Dix, the Fort Dix Rod and Gun Club is open to civilians as well as military. It has a 200 meter rifle range 25 meter pistol bow and trap and skeet. The Rifle range is good from 25 to 200 meters and target selection is pretty wide open.
For Civilians membership is $50 a year and $3.00 an hour to shoot. Its open Wed nights 1630 to 2100 and Sat and Sun 0900 to 1630. I shoot there all the time. Relaxed atmosphere run some what like a military range with ceasefires called to check targets every 30 min or so. But no one is concerned with what or how you shoot as long as you are safe. Each firing point has a shaded table. Its a good deal. Military menmbers pay $25 a year.

Have you considered membership in a hunting club? Many of them in the area have their own ranges for member usage. I know of two on Weymouth Rd just outside of Mays Landing off the Black Horse Pike. There is another on Rt 50, in Estell Manor.
I grew up shooting in the sand pits on Weymouth Rd, but those were the good 'ol days.

Hey
Dannyboy, sorry, no referral of a gun range, but I grew up in S. Jersey and left about 15 years ago. Just wondering how things are out there.
I grew up in Magnolia. Kind a miss the place. Anyway, a south jersey update would be nice.
Pax,
Brad

Thanks guys
Thanks for the info, guys. I'm gonna check out the range in Millville this weekend. I might try to get to the range at Ft. Dix fairly soon. Being an a former Army man, I think I'd rather shoot there. At least I'd know what I was dealing with.
DrStrangelove, considering I've been back here a year after spending 3 years in Texas, it's not so bad. I'd still rather be in Texas, though. Now that it's summer and all the tourists are here, however, it's more interesting. In both good and bad ways, depending on if you're at the beach or not
. I don't know where Magnolia is but if you've been to AC before, you would be shocked at what it looks like now. It's still a dump but it looks a lot better. Overall, I'd say it's still pretty much the same here. That said, I think it's a better place to visit than to live. It's way too expensive and there are a whole lot more people here nowadays.
