I think I can do this Sunday!

The range at Pequest "officially" opens at 10:00, but I know it was set up alot earlier, and Keith told us that there was no need to wait till 10:00. So I would think if we met around 9:00?

Or, Lincoln Park could be fun - I haven't been to that shoot in probably 20 years. I think it used to be somewhere in Boonton.

Nope Lincoln Park is about a 10 minute ride from my house. Wish I could go but I have a family reunion up in Conn this weekend. Hope you guys have a great time where ever you decide to go.

Up to you and the Good Folks Eric. Lincoln Park would probably take you around an hour to an hour 15 minutes to get there. See what everyone wants to do. There will be wheely folks there.

How's the course at Lincoln Park. It's not much different in distance for me either way. Pequest didn't have a ton of targets, but it was fun. PVA is an option there too.  Let me know if you guys finalize plans. Hate to loose the pequest course for non-use.

Personally I think our time is better invested in going to pequest so that they see there is interest in the place. That way it may still be available to us in the future. JMO

Agreed

Well that looks like 2 definite votes for Pequest. I'm off to work, I'll check back in the morning to see what everyone else thinks.

Vaughn, I feel the same way about Pequest. I'd hate to see us lose it because no one uses it.

I'm torn now. I think pequest may be better for my sons first shoot. Less pressure from the impatient wheelie guys and all that. I'll have to think about it. What's the easiest way there from say rt.80? In case I decide to go there too. Besides I sure would love a visit to PVA. Skippy

well I'm at the house that the wife and I are watching...I have internet.

Jason,
   I don't know which Franklin, N.J. you are coming from but if its the one by me your best bet would be xt12 off rt80 then go south on 521 toward 519south(Hope Bridgeville Road) follow to rt46 go east on 46 to turn right onto Pequest Furnace Road then turn left onto Pequest road the entrance to the range is about 1.5 miles down on your left. Hope this helps.

I'll have to look into it. I'm just off Rt. 23 near Sparta. I'll be taking Rt. 15 to Rt. 80 west. I know I can get right on 46 west from 80. I'll have to check mapquest for pequest rd. Thanks

I'm willing to do Sunday at Pequest. Would like to hit PVA as well.  It will be the first chance I've had to get out and do any thing in a while with the gang.

It will be Pequest then. It'll be good to see you folks. I'll bring my Horne's and the Mohawk. Do you want to meet in the Diner?

Skippy, here's a link to Pequest Rd. on Google maps. You can put in your starting address and get directions to it. The range is a little farther on Pequest Rd. than where the marker is - closer to Jane's Chapel Rd. The range will be on your right...you really can't miss it.

Somewhere back around page 5 of this thread, I think I also typed out directions from Rt. 46.

Tom, which diner? Maybe Lee and I will meet you there.

I'll call PVA and make sure they'll be there Sunday.

Crossroads Diner on the corner of 46 and 517 is it??

Gotcha. I think it's at the corner of 46 and 519. At least that's the place I'm thinking of. Let me know what time.

To get to the range from the diner, make a left onto 46 (east). A little ways past rt. 31, make a right onto Pequest Furnace Rd. Follow that to the stop sign at Pequest Rd. Make a left onto Pequest Rd. The range will be on the left - I think it's about 1.5 miles after you turn onto Pequest Rd.

BTW Skippy, this is a great course to start young-uns out on. Most shots are 20 yards or less, and last month it wasn't really busy at all. We didn't have anybody waiting on us to find arrows, even with the big group we had. I don't know how old your son is, but my 12-year-old will be there.
