New permit holder looking for a range recommendation...

[Emkay44]

Hey All,
As the title states, I'm a new permit holder. I've yet to hit up any range. I'm location in northern Westchester Cty, NY. I've heard of Blue Mountain and Blue Line. Is there anything else in my area that's worth checking out or even joining (club wise)?

I am a member at Putnam County Fish and Game in Carmel. The initial price is I think $450. There is rifle, pistol, trap, indoor air rifle, and archery. Also numerous different events throughout the year and family picnics/bbqs. Well worth the membership price if you utilize all of the facilities.

Also a member of PCFGA. Great value once you join.

 

[Emkay44]

Thank you both very much. I'll check it out!

 

[Emkay44]

Doh! No new member being accepted at this time.

 

[togmaster]

Give it time membership will open up again soon.

Consider taking some formalized training to develop a good base of safety and technique. Lots of great training available from vendors on this board. Good luck and enjoy.

Check out Master Class in Monroe, NY. Indoor pistol range, great people, Dillon reloading supplies. Highly recommend! Search the forums for more info.

if you want to venture to Livingston County .. open gun club here .. they would like you to join ( like 40 bucks a yr ) but you can just show up and shoot.. up to 125 yrds .. or the farm if we meet up . 300 yrds
if your crazy there is a 8 mile long range here .. .. just have to not see the rail road tracks .. lol ..

you looking for training or just a place to shoot ?? ...

BTW .. i got trained on how to shoot skeet for free at the club here .. well i had to pay the 3.50 per round for the clays ..

man i really hate this BS with range fees and some club fee's frm cities ..wait lists .. 500 bucks to join, .. and still have to wait ... fk .. expand your shit ..

.. get your ass out to the Country Side of NY .. lol ..

Monroe, County is just 50 miles north from here ..

Big Fan of master class in Monroe. find out Jim Schedule and let him know your a new shooter looking to learn properly and he keeps an eye on you and give pointers , I would also suggest getting some formal training also,

Oh man. I went to school in Syracuse. I loved the country up there. Absolutely beautiful. I would absolutely LOVE to take a drive up and check out the ranges up there. One day hopefully.

I'm 45 minutes from Monroe. I'm going to give Master Class a call later today. I want to make sure I'm covered for my very first range outing.

Thank you both!

Wait, there's a range behind that mall?! First time hearing about it!

 

[tlj000]

No, not right behind the Palisades mall. A couple of miles south of there in Pearl river.
Nice place friendly staff.

 

[knuts]

yeah my bad, not exactly behind it but south west from the mall.

 

[Emkay44]

Ah, gotcha. Had me all excited for a sec lol. Cool, I think I saw a Pearl River range come up in my searches. I'll keep that one in mind.

Take some classes with @OnSight Firearms Training . They do a lot of classes at Blue Mountain. You can knock out 2 birds with 1 stone. You get some quality training and get to check out Blue Mountain.
