i don't suppose you are taking new members up there at putnam? That would be an ideal spot for me and i would never have to go to Blue Mountain again. Like others said, its good if you get to know the RSOs, but the hours are just ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure the backlog is clear and they are accepting new. I waited 6 months couple years ago but new president, new everything, and that was cleared up last year so I'm guessing you'll be right. I'm the kind of member that never goes to meetings and pays for my 4 hours of work hours required LOL so I have no current information. Plus whenever I go it's during the week from 3 to 6 and I'm the only human in the whole range, unless @togmaster strolls in. I go for myself and only myself no time for politics. Give them a shout to see..It does say not accepting new applicants till current backlog but who knows when that Web page was updated. Call. Or email.

I emailed them from that website and got a response and went from there too. There's a few of us here that are members but I'm a horrible member when it comes to meetings and names they won't have a clue who I am. They just know me as the guy who's always there few times a week and has the don't tread on me tattoo lol. Judge Rietz comes there too ;)

Blackrock is awesome. Been a member for several years but unfortunately haven't paid 2017 dues due to personal circumstances. I'm trying to get back in good standing. If that works out I'd be happy to take you there as a guest. Yeah, internet differences aside I know we're still on the same side of the fence, lol...

@togmaster, way too far for you and me, 1 3/4 hours.
Even Putnam County Fish and Game is a good 45 minutes from my house.
More than I'd like to drive to shoot a few rounds.

1-3/4 hours is too far for a few rounds but it would make a nice road trip if you wanted to spend a half a day and bring a bunch of guns. That's why I'm looking forward to checking this place out.

BM Pistol range is plenty good OK! Walt is chatting but a great guy. Knows how to handle newbies well, while giving plenty of room to those who know what they're doing or are regulars. I go there often, but this year I haven't really been able to shoot much and I'm afraid my ammo is growing stale :D :D :D I've also done some tactical pistol classes there which was OK too.

Haven't been to Wooster but would like to check it out. I have quite a few friends at Putnam but never wanted to join because I don't want to donate time, although they do great things there for Boy Scouts and stuff. I spoke to my buddy a little while ago who's a member, and without divulging my distance, we discussed how I'd probably blow through 5x the ammo I usually shoot if I joined just because ease of access. I used to visit Coyne Park but it's been years. Was good there though and never was bothered, I liked it because I would commute to city and shoot there on way out of city after work. Just show up, do my shooting, clean up and leave. Tried Shooters up in CT, is ok for indoor range but a hike.

I should probably bucket up and get an app in @ Putnam, lol...

What I like about Wooster is that you can shoot your pistol, shotgun, and rifle from the same table. It's 20 bucks for the whole day.

I stopped going because I cannot bring my AR there so it isn't worth it to me anymore. In CT, certain AR's are banned by name and featureless are illegal as well.

If you aren't bringing those types of rifles, Wooster is good.

That's horrendous.

I'd rather go take a chance setting up a target in a woods somewhere until someone called the police.

That is indeed damn horrendous lol. Even Wooster being mighty close to scaredy cat Sandy Hook let's you shoot what you want. I hear AR 15s that scream dozens sometimes when I'm there(before they get scolded by the MC old dude running the mic lol) but I definitely wouldn't have thought PA to be so restrictive. Meh..no wonder they were the hold out during the election...FUDDs in Wolf's clothing..

I don't donate time lol. Once for my probation hours timeframe I did the boy scouts shoot cause I knew it would fulfill my 4 hours and all it was was Loading .22s for 12 year olds and sweeping at the end. I pay the $25 times 4 for my 4 hours needed every year and go to zero meetings.

@Toecutter, The Ardsley range was 5 minutes from my house, what a pleasure.
You can thank Paul Feiner the Greenburgh Supervisor for initiating the shut down and for Con Edison for completing it.
Paul Feiner gave Toll Brothers a permit to build houses 500 feet from the gun range.
Most people that bought these monster houses were educated idiots and did not even know that the gun range existed.
A woman in one of the closer houses called and came up with the story she was hit by a fragment from a bullet.
Impossible, she probably cut herself on a rose bush as so many said.
When the EMS arrived she refused medical attention.
After this Paul Feiner enforced an ordinance that said no gun range can operate within 500 feet of a house.
What Kind Of BS Is This !!!
