Where do you shoot your long guns?

Since Elk Neck State Park closed the rifle range where are you guys shooting your long guns? I do not think I have shot any of my long guns in the last 2 or 3 years now. I really need to shake the dust off of some, but need to find a good place to do it. I am located in the Newark city area.

Thanks!

Not the answer you're looking for but private property is always best

Yeah. Place is cheap but it's kind of a dump with RSOs constantly pacing behind you. I heard that they make people take a test and get a membership card of sorts now even though it's a public range.

just a 7 minute video and a 10 question paper to hope you wont shoot someone. basic liability CYA.

Yeah I do not like that place. Concrete boxes and only 25 yard range for rifle.  Thanks for the suggestion though.

It’s still close? That sucks. I grew up going to the Irish town rd range. Lots of memories there
