RANGE POLICIES v_240511
Lawful Carry at Long Shot
If you have received your NJ Conceal Carry Weapon (CCW) permit, then you may carry onto Long Shot premises in a lawful manner if you have your documentation with you. Please note that unless you are an active duty police officer or have taken Long Shot's holster drawing qualification you will not be allowed to draw and shoot from your holster.
Additional important CCW related rules and policies at Long Shot apply. Please be sure to read our 2024 Range Rules to learn about and comply with them.
Waivers and Safety Briefings
First-time visitors (shooter or observer), on your scheduled range day, you must finish waivers and take your picture on the iPads, watch a 9-minute safety video (no exceptions) and attend a safety briefing. Experienced shooters may request to waive out of the 20 minute briefing by speaking to the instructor - subject to his entire discretion.
After attending the safety briefing (or being waived), you will proceed to the range counter, to pick up rented gear and receive your lane assignment.
Member Lanes
The entirety of Bay 2 (7 pistol lanes) is available Saturday and Sunday, for Annual and 30 day members, to begin shoot in a private pistol bay from range 10:00am through and 1PM. Members may make a reservation or walk-in during that time. The best of Long Shot in one exclusive shooting range.
Range Reservations Using Our Buddy System for Safety
If you are Active Law Enforcement or Retired Law Enforcement certified under HR-218 or if you possess a NJ FID card, you may shoot alone, whether you bring your own firearm or rent one of ours.
Bring your own firearm to shoot alone or with a friend, by reserving time on our pistol ranges. (50 yard rifle range closed temporarily). Each reservation is for one lane, and accommodates from 1 to 3 people. Please read below to learn the appropriate time to arrive for your reservation. After registration and safety processing, you will proceed to the range counter, where you may purchase ammo and targets, if needed.
If you’ve brought your own gun but decide you still want to try one of ours, you may rent a-la-carte any firearm available that is allowed in your reserved range.
If you would like to rent our firearms, but do not possess a NJ FID, you must bring one other person with you, as we use the "buddy system" for safety and security. Your buddy may shoot or simply observe, but if you are renting, there must be a minimum of two guests. All of our rental packages are priced for 2 people, whether both shoot or not.
Except as identified above, our policy is that no one may shoot alone on the range.
Group Range Reservations:
If you have 8 people or more in your party, you can make a group reservation or request a special event quote via range.mgr@longshotpistolandrifle.com or call 201-735-1875 option 2.

Returning Customers, Arrival Time:
If you and everyone in your shooting party are returning customers, prepare to arrive at Long Shot not less than 30 minutes prior to your scheduled start time.
