Re: 1000yd Range Near N.J.???
Only one i know of in the area is in NY, near Albany. It's about 2.5 hrs from me, so you are probably looking at another hour or so. There are a few in PA if you want to make the drive. I'll be keeping an eye on this tread too since i'm looking as well. Good luck.

They are in PA, I've never been, but they run a couple of big matches each year. Member "miker" is a member here on the Hide and runs some of them. I think they are about a 4 hour ride for me, so it should be a bit shorter for you. Hope this helps.

What part of NJ you live in? If you live in Northern NJ closest 1000 yard range is Frobes, for 600yard highpower Camp Smith.If you live Southern NJ- 1000 yards Quantico Va,600yards Cumberland rifle Millville nj and Bridgville De. About 5 of us from NJ/NY area use to drive to Williamsport,Pa for 1000yards to shoot F Class.Now we drive to Reade and it's a hoot!Rich

Re: 1000yd Range Near N.J.???
Hey Proteus,
Is the Cumberland 600 range like Cherryridge 200/300 yards range in that they can switch yardage or is it strictly a 600 yard range and does it get crowded on weekends?
I'd like to submit my application for membership this year, just wondering if it's worth the 2 1/2 hour ride.

Rich,
Which Forbes matches are you shooting for this year? I looked at their schedule and got confused. Would like to make it out there this year.

Joe,
the 600yard line starts at 200 yard and goes back to 600yard.They also have a pistol range,plinking/Trap and a 100yards sight-in range.The club facilities are ok,not as nice as CherryRidge.But it is the only range in the State where you can shoot past 300yards also anytime you like and if you go on a weekday you can have the range all to yourself..I "ve been a member since 2004 and drive 2 1/2 south and feel it's worth every penny.

Hey Jeff I haven't decided yet,Forbes schedule is a little retarded and they make it 2 day events 600 med-range Suturdays and Palma style 800.900 and 1000yards on Sunday. As it stands I'm thinking about the Long Range State championship on September 12th – 13th 2009,but I have too play it by ear.Rich

Years ago there was a steel gong located between target frame #5&6 about half way up the backstop. The gong has been removed since the new President came into office 3 years ago. You would need to contact the club and ask that question. Rich

Yep, same deal, plus plenty of sighters at 800 to play with the wind, then 2 at 900 and 2 more at 1k.

Re: 1000yd Range Near N.J.???
I received my interview date for the Cumberland Range last week and i mentioned in application that I didn't know anyone that belongs to the range and did not have a sponsor. They said i would need a letter from my major, someone in Law enforcement or anyone else who could vouch for me. I mentioned i was a NRA lifetime member and have been a member of the Cherry Hill Range since 97, but that's not good enough. my interview in Sept 20th and i have family members in LA, but feel stupid asking them to sign a form just for a shooting rang. What do you guys think, is it worth the trouble?
