To all those who make it a safe and clean environment. The NO BS RSO's and the maintenance crew. From the classes, to which I've taken most, to several NRA Instructor certifications. I do not want to start a list of names of those who treat me so well because I am sure I will miss a few. Suffice to say I have never run across a bad apple in the whole bunch. Even at the top level, Anthony, when he's not throwing me out, is true gentleman and a consummate professional. Thank you all for making my retirement what I always hoped it would be.... a rip roaring success!

I took my NRA FIRST Steps Pistol Orientation here. HGC is operated by an extremely professional and courteous group who were very enthusiastic about both safety and promoting enjoyment of the sport. For the course, I think the student:teacher ratio was 1:3, so you'll definitely get your questions answered across a range in areas of expertise if you go here for a training. It is worth noting that the group is well-represented with women members.

I brought Leo a problem with a firearm that he had never seen before. Beretta tech support advised…read moreLeo that the problem was not fixable due to no available replacement parts. Like the kind of professional he is, Leo worked the problem most stubbornly with critical analytical thinking and old school expert know how from his extensive experience and fixed what had been deemed unfixable. His testing verified restored performance on the range. Leo spent a ridiculous amount of time solving this problem and charged a very low fee considering the time he spent on it. Leo is THE CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL!!! Leo's programming is to solve the problem: all go, no quit, can do!!! Super smart, super capable, excellent communicator, as well as being of high moral character and a genuinely good guy. I fully and completely recommend Leo without any reservations. Leo is my go to guy from this point forward for any gunsmithing and/or training issues. I have posted his business card and a glowing review of his services at my gun club for any other members in need of an Ace "A" Mechanic at his trade. Thank You Leo !!! Godspeed !!!

I went to the Riverdale range for a Range Officer class that was given there by the NORI. The class…read moreitself was very informative and covered an extensive amount of material. The Class was a bit long over 10 hours the first day about 8 the second with a take home exam. The instructor did a great job at keeping people on track and keeping people who love tangential conversations to a minimum. The upstairs is pretty nice as a class room and seats quite a few people As for the Downstairs, which is also the range, it kind of small but it's pretty nice. You need to be a member to shoot there, and I don't know how much it is, I've been there only one other time as a guest of someone. They ask all doors be close when shooting since its smack in the middle of a residential area. The range is equipped with a electric target system that moves the targets to the desired distance. Overall a nice range I just can't say anything to on how expensive a membership is.

"Let's take a basic pistol training class" said my hubby out of the blue…read more .... "I'm sorry... what?... Did you say pistol training class? Those things that you shoot... with bullets?" (yes, I know now that the proper term is ammunition or cartridge) "Yep. That." "Oh.... Um..." *Long pause* "You could learn something interesting" *turns on the sad little puppy-dog eyes* *melts like butter* "Ok... I guess it can't hurt to learn a little bit about guns." And so we were off. The course sounded a bit expensive ($130/person) but overall, I thought it was pretty worth it. We had to be up before the crack of dawn because class starts at 8 am sharp and it didn't end until 6 pm. The class more than exceeded my expectation in terms of comprehensiveness and individualized attention. We basically had one instructor per person at the gun range, and the presentations were mostly very much about gun safety with pretty blue fake guns, parts of real guns, nice little handouts, poster boards, and demonstrations of everything from stance, to how to clean a gun. At the range, the guns we were given to try all belonged to the instructors - who tried very hard to make sure to find guns that fit everyone's different sized hands. Overall - this was an extremely educational class and I would highly recommend it to anyone who thinks of guns and the whole shooting process as a mystery. The instructors do a great job of breaking everything down and showing all the safety precautions that go into a gun. You have to take an open book no time limit "test" upon completion of the course (before going to the range)... So simple.

Such a great place to shoot trap in Northern NJ. It's a BYOG (bring your own gun) arrangement but…read morethe folks that work here are friendly and all about safety. Some of the old timers who are hard core may be short on patience if you don't know proper etiquette so if you're a newbie let the trap manager know and they'll get you all set up and adjusted to how everything works. Joe and Tony are great with the younger kids and want to ensure they start out with proper form and a good understanding of range safety. A great place that is top notch for trap shooting enthusiasts or folks that want to break into a new hobby. 4 voice activated traps and a practice trap (usually open Sunday but not in operation currently due to recent heavy rains and flooding). A newer card system for activating the machines keeps things organized.
