After several handguns, I'm looking to get a shotgun (haven't shot one since the 8th grade), mostly for HD but would like to do some target shooting (informal clay shooting at most).
Where in NJ can I shoot a shotgun? Seems like most places are traditional trap/skeet ranges only, and have rules or restrictions against slugs or buckshot. Ideally, I'd like to find a place where I can pattern buckshot and birdshot, and shoot slugs out 100yds, and not have to pay $$$$ for some membership. Some plinking might be fun too. Anyone know a place like this near Hudson County? I'm willing to drive far far away (assume I would have to...) thanks! |

Ft Dix Rod & Gun Club is probably perfect for you. They have a nice skeet range, if that's what you feel like one day. They have a 200+ yard general purpose range where you can do exactly what you want. They also have a 25 yard outdoor pistol range. Not to mention the archery ranges.
All of this for only $50 per year for civilian membership plus $3 per hour when you go to shoot. By far the absolute best deal I've found yet in NJ. Web Site |

Fort Dix, eh?
that's the same thing Frank Caso told me this afternoon. sounds like I gotta go check it out, although the hours kinda suck there (and it's the range fees are a good deal, though. any other place with better hours? how about the Hunter Training Areas owned by the NJ Div of Fish and Wildlife? |

The only thing about those is that I believe you need to have a valid hunting license with you (maybe not a big deal) and some of them are limited in what and when you can shoot. For example, there is one near me that only allows light game loads, no slugs or buckshot. I also know of one about 45 minutes from me that I think allows anything but is very small. I also recall some wierd restrictions on when you can use them. |
