I love this place! What a great place to have an event or outing. I have been hearing great things about this place for a few years and have actually had the opportunity to try it a few times but passed, what was I thinking? I was with a party of 50 people and it was so much fun. We did 8 stations and 50 shots with a golf cart. I hadn't shot a gun for many years but it's like riding a bike , once you learn it's easy. It is such a great facility and they have a nice room that could probably hold a party of 80. I think this will be a growing business as more companies and organizations have events and outings here. I can't wait to visit again!

Like every real man, I enjoy shooting firearms. This place in particular only allows shotguns at moving clays. I came with a buddy and his 2 buddies who come to this range often. Bring ear and eye protection. If you wear glasses you should get a pair of glasses with side shields or safety glasses that goes over your fancies. At the range I saw the 'pros' wear vests with pouches for their shotgun shells. They would look ridiculous if they we're at a club with table service but at the range they thought they were tough dookie. I brought a draw string bag, not ideal for 4 boxes of shells. They are heavy. A book bag would have been better. I also brought a large bottle with me. It was a hot day. They cooler of free water tastes like free water. The 4 boxes (100 shells), time to use the range and 1 shotgun rental was ~$70. I shared a shotgun with one of the buddies. The other 2 brought their own. It's ok to share. Only 1 person can shoot at a station at a time. If you rent the shotgun you have to buy ammo from them. They offer golf carts and shotgun strollers for additional rent but if you're a real strong human being you carry everything. The beginner's (green) station has 16 'holes'. All with different launching angles and speed. And I heard they change them often so it makes it interesting every visit. Just like Disney Land :) The clubhouse has a nice pro shop to buy accessories, shotgun, and those sexy pouchy vests. Clean bathroom is also inside the bathroom. Coffee is complementary (tip jar) and hot dogs for $1.25. I was surrounded by Trump supporters with shotguns and I would be more afraid to eat hot dog from here. This range is well maintained, it's outside, open all year round, it's well supervised but the rangers are not dicks. Cigar smoking is acceptable and gets you cool points. Spitting after every puff like me will take away those points. I would definitely drive the 1.5hr to come here. There's no place like this in Jersey. After shooting here I had the same awe I had after going to my first strip club. I hope the second trip is better. It usually goes down hill :(

To introduce my grandson to sporting clays I purchased a beginner lesson for both of us. It was well worth it. The instructor was knowledgeable, thorough, and patient. My grandson, who had never fired a shotgun before, knocked down the first two clay pigeons he ever shot at, and then proceeded to hit 80% of the remaining targets at some of many interesting stages at the venue. I even picked up some pointers, despite having shot clays for years. All in all a great investment at a superior facility.

Loved it so much, brought the family during Thanksgiving break!

I never shot a shotgun before and set up this time to go here late summer 2020. I am hooked! I love this sport and love this place! The staff are so helpful and friendly and knowledgeable. The course is amazing! Beautiful area, easy walking on paved path to each station. So much fun! Feel like I'm golfing, but with a shot gun!

Came here with a bunch of friend. This is my first time skeet shooting. The instructions provided by the staff as well as their professionalism is top notch. Felt safe at all times. The shooting stations were cool as well in varying difficulties. Will deff be back again!

Had been shooting for years but never clays. Went with my girlfriend yesterday and they were the friendliest staff of any place I have ever shot! They walked me through standard practices and got my girlfriend, essentially a first time shooter, breaking clays and feeling comfortable. Really made our first time out amazing and we can't wait to come back. PS: ammo prices are great and $12 to rent a beretta over-under is fantastic. grounds are also beautiful and perfectly kept.

All skeet skeet mother f***er! Just shot a 56 at LVSC, which, since they don't provide that info, I'll call par; all I know is it sounds better than saying I shot 56% (we got 100 shots each), since my scholastic career has taught me that is a failure. All the same, it's a pretty cool setup here as it's sort of like a round of golf, only with shotguns instead of clubs. A group of 7 lads and myself showed up this past Saturday to kick start my friend's Bachelor party weekend, and though none of us are even remotely experienced with firearms, we still had a smashing time. They start you out with a questionnaire wherein you assure them you aren't on drugs, are not on the run from the law, and are allowed to actually use guns and what not, then an employee came out and gave us a quick run down on the shotguns we'd be using. As I mentioned, we are amateurs of the most amateur variety, so we had to rent guns in order to shoot. Past experience has conditioned me to expect the shittiest equipment possible for rent, but LVSC clearly isn't aware of that practice because they gave us $3,000 Beretta 20-gauge shotguns, complete with fancy engravings down their length. We walked the course with two hand carts (think jogging stroller with shotgun compartments, how those things should come anyway...) instead of two four seat motorized rides, because some of the stations were about 20 feet apart from each other, and driving that seemed truly lazy (obviously my vote to cruise was overruled). Also, walking saved us money; each golf cart would be $20, but the hand cart was included in the rate, or at most $8 each. Eye protection is mandatory on the course, but they don't care what kind you wear as long as it's on, and they give you earplugs for free. The course is circular, following a paved path through an old quarry, but with two target options at each spot (blue or orange). Shooting stations are simple huts that you plug a hand held controller/pigeon counter into and shoot sets of 6 or 8 clay pigeons; at times one after the other, other times two at once. The backdrops for the 'holes' vary from open air to thick brush, to crumbling concrete structures, and my personal favorite, to shots over the flooded quarry (missing there wasn't as disheartening because you still hit the water), and at every station you are allowed a test shot from each launcher so you can tell where you need to aim (there are also picture diagrams of the flight path). Overall the experience cost $41 for the course and pigeons, with extra disc going at $.39 a pop, and the gun rental was $12 which was split between us (played two foursomes with one shotgun each). I don't know the price of the ammunition, but I imagine it was near $20. It took about 3 hours for the 8 of us to finish, and we were definitely beaten up enough from the kick by that point that we were ready to be done, so 100 shots is just about perfect. I had a great time and would love to come here again, but distance and such means I will be lucky if I ever get back. Still, I think it was a very worthwhile experience

It really is that good. The course itself is beautiful. They really have a lovely location, and the stands are set up very nicely. The variety of shots is terrific and does not get boring. Walking the course is nice and everything is very well kept and clean. The staff is perfect; friendly, relaxed and safety conscious. This place is very open-arms and not an "old boys" club. They really want make sure everyone has a safe and fun time. Do yourself a favor and look up some sport-shooting etiquette on the internet before you show up if it is your first time; do not be intimidated and feel free to ask these very nice people. The value is great. For 100 clays at their stands, the $37 I paid felt like a bargain. Their rental shotgun cost is low if you do not bring your own shotgun and their ammo prices are fair. I said fair because I do not feel like I am being taken advantage of, but you can get cheaper ammo if you shop around. If you do not have time for that and want to just show up and shoot it is not a ridiculous mark-up. (If you rent their guns, you need to buy their ammo).

David G.

Five stars all the way! What a fun place! The staff is really great and helpful! Even if you have never been shooting or clay shooting, you have to go. We went in the afternoon and ran out of fun time. Go earlier in the day to take full advantage of the course. Walk the course don't rent a golf cart unless you can't walk or are just super lazy. If you are visiting your son or daughter at college and need something fun to do together, this is it! It's set in an old quarry with old buildings as your backdrop which makes it a lot of fun. It's looks like those video games the kids play but you are shooting at clay pigeons not people. Play for fun or make it a challenge but either way, you will have a great time!

I went to LVSC with a group and it was really fun. The entire establishment screams "nice golf course" rather than a more traditional gun-type of ambiance. $10 rentals for a super-nice (read: expensive) Beretta over/under trap shotgun? Yes please. Golf cart rentals? Extra fun! Reasonable prices for clays and shells? Have I reached the promised land? The course is built on an old quarry and several old rundown buildings. So there's a lot of variety in terms of environment with clays coming out of hidden launchers that really challenge you. It's really fun because clays seems to equalize the skill level between experienced shooters and newcomers. It's not so much about accuracy as it is about patience. I recommend it to anyone who is new to sport shooting and anyone who is into sport shooting is doing themselves a disservice by not coming here. Bring the kids! Also surprisingly good hot dogs were on sale in the clubhouse. No not gourmet but I can't ever pass up cheap hot dogs. I loved it so much I'm making one of the photos I took at LVSC my profile picture for Yelp. read more

Spent a great afternoon shooting sporting clays over a challenging course built in a old limestone quarry. There are shots over water, in and out of old buildings used to process limestone. The walking paths are paved. You have the option of using cart to carry your shotgun and shells or a golf cart. I prefer the cart since the walk in not bad. There is a small restaurant and pro shop onsite. Parking is plentiful. Saturday it can be very crowded. read more

My husband and I visited for the first time in April 2014. Because we are pistol shooters, and had never shot clays before, LVSC recommended that we get a trainer. So we got the first time package for two which included the trainer, two rental guns, and the targets (which they estimate to be 50 or 100 each, I can't remember, and didn't count.) The total was $70 each; which I later calculated to be a really great deal for a first-timer. We arrived there and my first impression was good because I could see kids/young folks. After having been at some shady ranges in the past, as a rule, family friendly places are usually nicer, safer, and more fun since there arn't clowns running around all over the place. We then met our trainer, Bernie, who was 80 something, and had been shooting his entire life. He gave us a great lesson, and at each station (yes, he stayed with us the whole time, which was awesome!) gave us pointers. Because we were with the trainer, we didn't have to go in order of the course. So Bernie took us from easy to hard, to build our confidence and get us breaking clays at our first station. He was genuinely thrilled each time we got a hit, and he treated it as his personal duty to ensure we were having fun by hitting clays. Although I have nothing to compare it to, I thought this course was quite nice. Some open places, some woodsy places, some places where you shoot clays through half-crumbling down buildings, and even some where they break over water. The equipment (guns) we were provided were top quality, and the clay throwing stations were in excellent working order. We will be back. read more

I visited for the first time recently and had a really good time. They staff was friendly enough, the guy that familiarized us with the course was engaging and funny. I imagine it a place where the instruction, if you wanted it, would be pretty good. A knowledgeable, yet friendly and fun instructor makes a lot of difference with dangerous hobbies. Puts newer shooters at ease. There was a short wait for the intermediate and advanced courses so I tried the beginners and it was still fun. Challenging enough for someone with experience to miss a few! I was told the difference between beginners and intermediate is minor. It seems you can pretty much go at your own pace (of course be courteous to others as you might on the golf course). I was a lone shooter that day and the guys in front of me said to play on through! Not one 'no bird' the whole course, throwers were quick and consistent. A few interesting stations with nice views. Some stations shoot over a quarry and another involves clays shooting towards you from the windows of an old quarry building. Station 7 was interesting and was the only station I hit all birds. If you're buying shells from them, they're actually well priced unlike some of the other trap/skeet places in NJ where I live. Only downer, if I'm nitpicking, is the level of worker traffic. Those Kubota tractors they drive are darn loud. I know they're just taking care of the course so I don't mean this as a complaint per se. It's a review so i'm looking for both positive and negative aspects. The positives far outweigh the negatives. All of that said, I'm going again this weekend. Overall a great time. read more

Another well deserved 5 star review for LVSC! My son and I 'trap shoot' here in NJ (we have our own foot thrower and go to a state wildlife management area nearby - so it's not too much variety in direction / layout. But it's still hard for us : ) Came here on a recommendation from someone in NJ. We went on a Wednesday. Parking lot was pretty crowded, but really, once we got going, we didn't very many people. We were going to go with the green / beginner course, but while waiting for someone to give us the couple minute orientation, we saw a group of 5 and group of 2 just starting on the beginner course. In general, we hate waiting or making people wait for us, so we opted for the blue intermediate course. Again, once we got going, we barely saw anyone. There's a note on the website about allow 2 hours to do the course. We didn't have to wait on anyone and we shot fairly quickly... and it took us about 1 3/4 hours after the orientation. So allow time. We rented the push cart (it's $7.50?) and that was fine for the 2 of us, our 2 guns and ammo. The drivable golf cart would likely be a bit overkill (and they said you really want to reserve that to be sure to get one) Funny, this was the first time we did 'sporting clays'. I remember a key part when someone was describing it a long time ago being the rolling of the disks on the ground like a rabbit. Turns out they only had 1 station like that, late in the course. Just as well! That was hard to shoot at : ) Staff is really friendly. Walking into the main building there was no lines. But there's a long desk for filling out the release forms and a bit of 'corral' at the check in line - I have a feeling this place can get very busy! But again, the lot had what we thought was a lot of cars but we didn't see many people. The course is built on an old quarry - loads of old buildings and the big pit in the middle filled with water. Very scenic. Water coolers are placed along the route. some of the course area is shaded, some in the sun. All interesting stations - birds coming at you, from behind, from in front and side to side. big arcs and quick dashes you have to be ready for! Interesting place! Wish it was closer but we'll certainly be back! read more

I never thought of myself as a gun guy until I tried out this place. Now I'm addicted to clay shooting. For the last 6 months I think I've been around 8 times or so. It's a skill that just keeps getting better. It's essentially like shooting golf with guns. The rock quarry is very scenic, in both winter and summer. All of the course options allow you to try out different types of shooting from rabbits to trying to shoot two at once. They change up the layout everyonce in awhile and every time I go it is a new experience. I can't wait to go back! read more

This was by far one of the nicest sporting clays course that is open to the public that I have been to, BUT one thing did grind my gears.... You have to pay 8 bucks to use a push cart for your ammo and guns. When I ask the range officer he said it was for the maintenance of the push carts, but come on I didn't realize that wd40 was so expensive. They try to make up for it by having rest stops along the way with free coffee and water, but I would rather have a free push cart. read more

Great place to go for an all day outing. Have been here a few times and it never dissapoints. Warning though, since this place is pretty popular on holidays, etc., you may either want to make a reservation or go early because the last time I was here, we didn't make one and ended up having to wait for over an hour and a half to go. Other than that, the scenery is beautiful at this redone abandoned quarry and the prices aren't bad at all. Take a golf cart or a push cart (it's a lovely walk, too) and you'll have a ton of fun going from station to station shooting clay pigeons. read more

Like the 5 Star Rating says... this course is as Good as it Gets!!! Very Scenic, Challenging Course, Well Maintained Grounds, Friendly Staff, Reasonable Rates, what more can you ask for? We rented the push cart for our nearly two hour experience. Each station is unique, the entire course is strategically challenging, never get boring as no two shots are the same. The quarry setting is lovely and scenic. We thought it was especially noteworthy that the entire course is handicap accessible, which is AWESOME! We definitely can't wait to go back and plan on making this a definite go-to place on our visits to the area. read more

We tried to explain that 5 shooters with 5 separate rifles might give that impression, but he did not want to hear it, claiming "he has the knowledge". He cussed me out in front of my wife and friends after randomly accusing me of breaking rules, after I told him we have no idea what you're talking about, advising me to "shut my F'ing mouth", and threatened to "revoke our memberships" since he is a board member. We talked very respectfully to him, trying to get him to calm down, saying things like "I'm not trying to give you a hard time but there are 5 firearms out at the moment and were all shooting, maybe you have the wrong idea" but that just made it worse for him. He started aggressively explaining how we have no knowledge of guns and that he will get the members at the range today all revoked. 3 of the 5 people packed their rifles away and 2 kept shooting to which he commented "see now you're not shooting so fast are ya?" which we responded "only 2 people are shooting now". He then sat in his black Mercedes and watched us all for the next 15-20 minutes before he left.

Nice rifle range with 25, 50, 100 targets. It's been better maintained a lot more in the last few…read moreyears than it had been prior. Pistol/.22 range is ok. Many backstops, but the really nice part is there isn't a ton of use, and if you want to move closer than the 25 yards you can - nice for practicing different pistol disciplines. Also no silly rules like some clubs have about 1 shot per X seconds, etc, so you can actually work on pistol drills if you want. They also have a blackpowder only range that has a lot of stations - I believe they host some blackpowder matches throughout the year. No trap stations or places to throw clays, at least not that I've found yet. Overall, pretty low key, I think most people join for the social hall, although they do have a youth pheasant hunt yearly. Not a lot of organized shooting activities though, like steel matches, multi-gun, action pistol, or even rimfire matches, so not a terribly active club in terms of shooting. Make sure you have you membership card - they check often (and they should). Many instances in the past of non-members using the range. Only real knock I have is that children/wives of members need to have a membership too to even be on the range (liability issue I'm sure), but they won't give a membership to a child under 12. Pretty tough to train a youngster if you can't get him/her to a range. Other clubs do it, and we need to foster the next generation of shooters. I'd like to see something that allows younger shooters to be there. Overall, nice quiet place to shoot though.

I am extremely disappointed in my experience at LVSC. We went there with a group of 6 for a bachelor party. We thoughly read their website and even called ahead the week before and they told us they did not offer reservations and to just show up and that a 1pm start time would be fine for a full round. When we got there we waited 30mins in line just to sign up and we had to wait 3hrs to shoot for just 30mins and 3 stations before they told us to stop because they where closing. We found out at the check out counter that they mistook the counter guy's terrible hand writing of squad 14 for 19 so we had gotten pushed to the last squad for the day. Not once did they mention the extreme wait times on their website or in person and it wasn't until we were doing the safety check they told us we would probably not be able to shoot the full round but no mention that we wouldn't get more than 50 yards from where we sat waiting all afternoon. They completely ruined our plans and the complete lack of honesty about the realistic wait times on the website or at the check in counter is unexceptable. To put it in perspective we payed $90 and spent 4hrs for a loaner gun, a push cart, 54 shells, 92 targets, 3 stations and 45mins of range time including the safety check between 6 people. At my local trap club I could have shot 100 targets for half that with almost no wait time. read more

This was my first place ever, shooting clays, and I think I was a little bit spoiled. The old cement factory/quarry setting was a fantastic place to shoot, that gave a great variety of angles to fire from, at the stations. The facilities were top-notch, the staff was extremely professional, giving me a run down on the do's and don'ts of carrying the shotguns while on the course, and in the pro shop. The guns themselves were fantastic, and very well maintained - we ended up with a Beretta 686 onyx that had clean, crisp action, ejectors, and breach, and had a smooth trigger pull. We visited during the winter, and there was a constant wind blowing, so the warming hut, with complimentary coffee halfway through the course was very welcome, while we waited for another group to finish their station. We even met the owner, who was walking his 2 dogs, and he made sure to make us feel welcome. Defintely recommend. Fairly priced, GREAT location to fire at. read more

This commentary is a followup to a prior review I posted last year. As a veteran long before being a veteran was cool, LVSC recognized our service with a free round of clays. Very few businesses are willing provide a free product in order to recognize veterans. There are very few businesses I am aware of that are more Pro Vet than LVSC. LVSC encourages Females and Younger shooters with discounts and organized shoots. Programs such as Women On Target and the Quarry Crushers speak to the LVSC commitment to the entire community. Safety is a paramount concern during your visit to LVSC. For that reason, you will be flagged for unsafe or prohibited behavior. Read the rules and act accordingly. The RSO's are trained professionals. As a NSCA member I appreciate their commitment. Finally, thanks to the entire staff for a safe enjoyable experience week after week. read more
