10 Shooting Ranges in New Jersey That You Shouldn't Miss
Whether you are looking for sun-drenched beaches or outdoor activities in beautiful countryside, New Jersey has plenty to offer. Those who love the great outdoors should head for the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, which runs along the Delaware River for forty miles. Here you can go rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking or fishing, or simply admire the stunning waterfalls. There is a huge range of hiking trails to choose from as well as historic sites to visit. In winter, you can enjoy cross-country skiing near Blue Mountain Lakes, and birdwatchers might be lucky enough to catch sight of bald eagles. If you are looking for a change, visit one of New Jersey's eleven lighthouses that are open to public, such as the one in Cape May. For art and history enthusiasts, New Jersey State Museum in Trenton has historic artifacts and American fine art from the nineteenth century to the present day as well as a Planetarium.

One of the things often overlooked (especially by people new to firearms)is training. I cannot speak highly enough of the training offered by the staff at Woodland Park Range. I have had training with Jimmy Grammenos and Tony Urena. The focus is ALWAYS on safety and the training is presented in a easy to follow clear and concise manner.In Gun for Hire / Woodland Park range Anthony Colandro runs a range and training facility that is state of the art and is always kept immaculate. Gun for Hire Woodland Park range is the finest range / training facility I have visited. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Loved this place and would definitely tell people to go. They are very professional and walk you through everything. Upon arrival, they greet you at the door and ask you what service you are looking to do whether it’s archery or shooting handguns or rifles. You have to fill out a waiver and they do have computers there so that you’re able to do it quickly. You can also fill out the waiver on their website before getting there and it stores you in the system. You then are taken to a room to watch a five minute video on how to correctly handle the weapons and how to enter and leave the range. I chose to go to the rifle range and shoot the AR-15 as well as the 50 cal Barrett. Best experience ever! I do plan on returning in the future.

Went to Clove Spring Range in a group of 8. Had a great time. Everything ran well. We are all experienced shooters who have been to other sporting clay ranges. This one is the best around. The grounds are beautiful, the staff professional, and the prices are good.

Larry and Kerry from Full Metal Jacket Gun Range, knocked it out of the park. The test was one of the more difficult ones I’ve taken but well worth it. With the instructors (Larry, Kerry) life background. They were able to relate text book situations with real life situations. It does give you a different perspective. If you’re considering a CCW Certification, these are the guys to train you. WELL DONE.

*Hours subject to change* Competitive axe throwing is a well known Canadian past time that's becoming increasingly popular in the United States. Simply put, it's like playing a game of darts, except with axes! At Bury The Hatchet you'll experience the thrill of launching an axe at a wooden target in a safe and fun environment. You and your best mates will spend two hours becoming intimate with a 1.5lb piece of whirling wood and metal as you learn, practice, and then finally square off toe-to-toe in a group tournament.

This place is crazy fun and it's BYOB and BYOF(Food)! They have plenty of large picnic tables for you to use. It is usually quite crowded and loud, so bring your patience and a few drinks! If you can find a deal on Groupon, Living Social or the like, we feel a deal makes it that much better! Once you purchase your tickets, you need to go on their Website and reserve a time slot. Just note, if you want to play by yourselves, with just your own party, in your own lane, you have to have at least 12 people in your party (it used to be only 9). You can even join a league if you have enough people. Although they do not have their own parking lot, there is plenty of metered on the street parking right in front and across the street. They have several board type games in the lobby for you to enjoy while you wait. All the staff, employees and our Axe Master were very personable, knowledgeable, informative and provided a history of axe throwing. During your game(s) your instructor keeps score on their tablet and you can see the results up on a screen. There was music constantly blaring which was quite loud. They have mini refrigerators and cubbies for you to store your stuff, they have a water cooler and you can order food and drinks from outside to this location. Highly recommended if you have never!
