Cumberland Riflemen features six outdoor shooting ranges, including two rifle ranges, three pistol ranges, and one dual-use range. Shooting distances vary from 25 to 600 yards, most with covered shooting positions, target holders/backers, and equipment for benchrest and prone shooting. Our 600 yard rifle range is among the longest outdoor ranges in New Jersey, the Precision Pistol Competition Range is configured for NRA 1800 and 2700 matches with stationary and turning targets, and our practical range allows CCP holders to practice their holster draws (endorsement required, see below).
Please note that all ranges are closed to all members during shotgun deer season, the first full week of December, no exceptions.
Steel targets are no longer permitted on any ranges due to safety concerns, no exceptions.
