Shooting ranges in NJ/NYC/Eastern PA?

Does anyone know of a good shooting range in this area? I'm primarily looking for a shooting range that has rifles - don't really care about handguns. I head off to Army Basic in a few months, and have never fired a gun before. I just want to practice before I head of. Thanks

Good on ya for joining the military. Thanks, in advance for your service.

As to shooting, you don't really need to. The arms portion of Basic is taught on the premise that you've never touched a gun before. Frankly, anything you might learn in the time you have remaining may have to be unlearned once you get there.

Remember, there are two ways of doing anything: the right way, and the Army Way.

You should talk to your recruiter, he or she might be able to get you onto Piccatinany Arsenal (I think they have a rifle range) for a pre-basic tour of some sort.

This almost went over my head. I was going to substitute Army for my prefered branch until I read it four or five times. I will refrain from doing so, but rest assured the substitutionvcould still be made

It was one of mPop's favorite jokes. He found it even funnier that so many of his fellow soldiers didn't catch what he was saying and just thought it an excellent line =)

That's a good call. I might be able to check that out on my own. I have a CAC and should be able to get on Piccatiny on my own merit. I'll let you know how it turns out.
