In accordance with Executive Order No. 147 signed by Governor Phil Murphy, Division firearm and archery ranges reopened on Friday, May 22.

All Wildlife Management Area regulations apply and at least one member of the shooting party must have a current, valid New Jersey hunting license in possession.

Ranges are open 8 a.m. to sunset daily, however the Black River WMA range is closed on weekends from the third weekend in May through Labor Day weekend. Please also note that the Flatbrook muzzleloader/rifle range is still closed for ongoing renovations.

The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife asks that you please be courteous and respectful by limiting your use of range time, as this will allow as many people as possible to enjoy these facilities.

shotguns and shooting book cover“Truly fine guns are as much works of art as poems, novels, or paintings,” writes acclaimed outdoor writer Michael McIntosh in this classic book. And who better to guide us through the world of fine guns than McIntosh. Here, he captured the whole gun–the gun as a combination of form, fit, and function. Divided into two sections, the first on the art of guns and gunmaking, and the last on the art of shooting, this book is, as McIntosh himself says, “a celebration of the gun.” Indeed, it’s a celebration no lover of fine double guns should miss.
