Ready Aim Fire Incorporated

1ST Visit to RAF. 1^st handgun. Great people answered all my questions, explained the targets that I had were to small and sold me a large one cheap and told me to tape my targets to theirs. The guy let me take his tape dispenser to the range with me. Next thought my ear plugs were good until I went in the range, I came back out and they gave me hearing protection and treated me with respect. I will definitely go back and make it my practice range in the future and may even buy a membership.

I’m a member at Ready Aim Fire and plan to be for a while since it’s about 15 min from my house. Everyone at the counter has been extremely helpful, even after all of my stupid questions. They have a nice assortment of rental guns, ammo is slightly over priced but not beyond what your expect to find at any other range. I’d like to see a few improvements in the range however. 1. Ditch the cable target system and replace with a rail system. When you send a target out halfway, it bounces for a long while before stabilizing. 2. Add shelves in the stalls to store range bags, ammo, etc. there is currently no place to keep belongings and this problem is worse if you bring a guest with their gear. 3. This one is a big safety issue for me, there are no employees patrolling the actual range. No range master. This is absolutely needed, as is evident by the bullet holes in the metal divider walls. I know my gun is always facing down range, but I’m not sure my neighbor’s is, and that scares me. A few small improvements would make this place 5 stars…

It’s a decent range, luckily I have a friend who is a member so it’s free to go.
First off the staff is some of the most unfriendly guys in the world. Very bland personality. There not cocky at all but they just don’t talk. I went there one night to look at guns and being the only one in the store it was about 10 minutes until they even asked if I needed help. They just hung back and talked to each other.
Second, safety is not their priority. I’ve been seen many of guys pointing guns around and towards people including myself both in the store and on the range. As mentioned in another review, they need to hire a RSO.
Find a friend to be a member and go with them, keep your eyes on a swivel for the idiots they allow in there, and don’t expect to make friends and your all good.

Not bad for a gun range. Simple and basic. Some interesting targets. There is noone overseeing the people shooting and anyone with a drivers lisence over 21 can shoot. You can bring your own ammo and weapons or purchase ammo and rent weapons on site. The range is loud and in the summer can get hot.

TL;DR:
1. Bring your own ammo, theirs is expensive. There’s two Walmarts less than 5 miles away.
2. Don’t expect babysitters on the lanes.
3. Don’t expect to make friends with the staff.
4. Avoid going on weekends.
5. Have fun shooting.
6. Stay safe.
I’ve been a member here for about a year. It’s a decent range to visit when it’s not busy – basically any weekday afternoon/​evening. On the weekends, I avoid this place. They don’t generally have RSOs on the range, so on the weekends there are a lot of new shooters and sometimes those shooters need some help operating the firearms safely. There have been a handful of instances where I have seen some people do some very unnerving things that would get you removed from other ranges. Perhaps they should really start asking the non-​regular people if they need help operating firearm rentals and giving them some instruction when there are malfunctions. Speaking of rentals, I know they are rental guns, but they look pretty beat up and dirty. I don’t know how often they clean them (or don’t clean them), but there looks to be significant carbon build up on most of them. For the record, I’ve rented a couple of those dirty firearms and did not have any malfunctions or issues. They cycled and worked just fine. If you are competent with your firearm this a good place to go practice as you won’t have RSOs hawking over your every single move. Just make sure you bring enough of your own ammo – theirs is pretty expensive. There are two Walmarts within a few miles, so you could stop there before you hit the range. They do allow rapid fire shooting and drawing from a holster. I know this is something that isn’t permitted at every pistol range.
I get the reviewers that have had bad experiences. Some of the guys are friendly, some of them aren’t. It’s just the way it is. The staff isn’t going out of their way to be friends with every single person that walks through the door. It’s the old «gun range/​gun shop» condescending mentality, I guess. After you get to know the staff, they’re just like everyone else.

This establishment is the worse gun range I’ve ever been to. I went there one day about 6 months ago to by a new rifle thinking that I would be treated well, but I was treated very disrespectful by the salesperson. They don’t answer questions with respect to the patron and I felt like I was more of a bother than anything. I work too hard for my money to purchase anything from a business that employs disrespectful employees. I took my business to Atlantic Tactical in Philadelphia where I was treated very well and also got the rifle at a better price. My advice to Ready, Aim, Fire learn courtesy or close down…

I’ve been coming here for a few years now so I figured it was time for a review. It’s pretty average for a range in this area but I always have a good time. Prices are on par with most other ranges but not too expensive and the staff for the most part is very friendly. The downside is that they don’t have a large selection of guns for sale and the class III firearms for rent is pretty much gone these days which is no fun. With that being said, I like this place and I’ll be back again without a doubt. I don’t know anywhere else I can shoot a 500 S&W.

I have a military/​silver membership. They discount for military/​police. I believe it was 150 for the year. This allows me to use a lane anytime they are open, of course if lanes are free, you still have to wait membership or not if it’s busy. Weekends are usually busiest, or rainy/​overcast days.
I can bring 1 guest every time as well, free of charge.
For civilians looking to purchase a membership. Your membership prices will be higher.
Gold membership allows you everything stated above, plus the ability to rent their guns free of charge.
If you want to just go and shoot, you can do so as well, you don’t need a membership to shoot/​rent here.
I have a small arsenal of my own firearms that I can always better myself with, close friends and family with their own small arsenals that they’d let me shoot anytime if I wanted, so the silver membership suited me best.
Their ammo prices are very, very high, bring your own!
if you rent a gun, you MUST purchase and use THEIR ammo, range rules, even with a gold membership.
Staff is very friendly, and professional. I had a problem with a hand grip screw with one of my higher end hand guns, i let them correct the problem and it was fixed the same day.
I just purchased another hand gun while in Kentucky, the dealer in KY is shipping my new purchase back home to Ready Aim Fire. It will be there by the time I get home. So, they can do state to state transfers. Not sure what they charge for the transfer yet, my guess is 30 – 50 dollars, but I’ll be sure to update this review when I get back and pick it up!
EDIT: 4÷5÷2015
Have been a member for a year now and just renewed for another year, all the people that work there know me by name, I’m there 1 – 2 times a week at least. Staff hasnt changed much if any, all great guys over there. They won’t let you shoot .223÷5.56 or larger rifle rounds. Shotguns are allowed.

I been to ready aim fire three times so far. The staff were nice everytime I went to shoot. The indoor range is good except for when a lot of people are firing sometimes the ventilation isn’t good. I plan to keep coming here until it gets warm outside. Then I will be shooting at Range 14 on Ft. Dix.
The downside is that the ammo is expensive here I recommend to bring your own ammo. Also the range get crowded quick.

I’ve been to Ready Aim Fire many times. It’s my «go-​to» place when I get the urge to put some of my toys through their paces. While I belong to Central Jersey Rife & Pistol Club, NJ’s premier member-​owned gun club, I also have a membership to Ready Aim Fire. It’s local to my home, which makes it convenient when I’m looking to make a quick range trip, or to take a friend or family member to enjoy their first time shooting a handgun.
The shop has a limited selection of shooting supplies, targets, holsters and other basics for gun owners, and they also have a decent selection of used shotguns and rifles. They’ll order almost any new handgun, shotgun or rifle you want.
For those unfamiliar to Ready Aim Fire, it’s a shooting range that has a fairly wide selection of handguns in the showcase for you to try. Shooting lanes are available to rent by the hour, along with a gun. They will give you the basic instructions for loading and shooting the gun you choose. When renting a gun, it’s necessary to purchase a box of their ammunition (unless you’re a member and you bring your own). They will loan you ear and eye protection if you don’t bring it. They also have a gunsmith on premises for gun repairs and provide FFL firearms transfer services and purchasing background checks.
Give them a SHOT. You’ll enjoy the experience!

While it is a beautiful gun shop and their firing range is quite good in my opinion their prices for guns is a bit much, I have been to other shops in the area and have always been able to beat their prices and for guns that were in just as good (if not better) condition. My advice if you are shopping for a gun, shop around, it’s worth it.

I have been going to RAF for a few years now. I enjoy the indoor range and can normally get a lane without waiting, especially during the week. All the employees are very knowledgeable and will help you with any questions you may have. If you have any questions about a pistol or rifle you are shooting, they will be more then glad to assist you. All the shooters that I have met there are really friendly and considerate people. I continue to go there and also bring my friends. I sign up for the yearly senior silver plan. I can go all I want and can also bring a friend who can share my lane at no charge. Kudos to the staff at Ready Aim Fire for doing such a good job…

I like RAF, but they were very expensive last time I went. I didn’t bring a gun and we had two people, so it totaled over $ 100 for about 30 shots each. Here were the prices we paid:
Lane rental per hour: $ 20×2 people
Gun rental for day: $ 20
.22LR shop bullets: $ 1 a piece
Targets: $ 1 a piece
Eyes and Ears: free
So, it was a great day spent with my dad but it was quite expensive. We could have purchased a season pass to lower the cost of lane rental, but that’s only half the problem. Bullets were a buck a piece and (I can’t actually confirm this because I didn’t ask the guy) there was a sign that said you could only use RAF bullets.
That may mean you can only use their bullets in THEIR guns, but it wasn’t too clear. If they don’t let people use bullets they buy at home or recase themselves, then that means everyone is spending a dollar per shot and that’s just too much, even with bullets as hard to find as they are at the moment. A box of .22LR is $ 8 around the corner from me and the difference between $.08 a round and $ 1.00 is massive.
If you can bring your own guns and bullets and you have the yearly membership, this place is probably amazing. I’m simply reviewing my experience and for me, the casual shooter who just wanted to spend some time with his dad, it was an average time!
We now go to Del Val Sports off of Red Lion road and we rent the lane for $ 20 (entire day, unlimited number of shooters) and use our own guns and bullets.

My 1^st range/​shooting experience and Ready Aim Fire made it easy. They explained the policies and practices and ensured our large group would be all set. Prices seemed reasonable and in spite of not renting by the hour we didn’t feel rushed out.
You can rent guns or bring your own. You can buy ammo or bring your own. The only stipulation is if you rent a gun you need to buy their ammo. They have a few targets you can purchase (buck each) in case you feel like shooting at Nazi zombies or the old man with a gun.
Our group of ten spend the better part of 3 hours there and the bill came in around $ 600. Overall very satisified with the team builder thanks to RAF.

I went to RAF for the first time this weekend with a meetup group, some of whom were first-​time shooters and a few of us, myself included, had some experience. I think it’s the best range I’ve ever been to, not so much because of the facility but rather the folks that run it. I think they have 11 lanes in all, and we were a group of about six that was looking for three lanes in total. The rangemaster went out of his way to get us setup, and helped us get lanes that were next to one another. This is important, since they have a rule that guns should not switch lane-​to-​lane, but rather the shooters should. They don’t nickel and dime you to death, which means they provide eyes and ears at no charge, and they allow you to use your own ammo. If you rent their guns, you do have to use their ammo, but this is really pretty reasonable. Ammo is about what you’d expect, pretty marked-​up, $ 20 or $ 25 a box or so. They charge $ 1.00 for targets, and have about 10 kinds to choose from. The gun rentals are also very flexible, in that you can spend the $ 10 to rent a gun (pretty cheap), use it, and then trade it in for another. So, the $ 10 charge basically gives you the right to use any handgun or rifle they have, one at a time. Very nice, since many places charge for each gun. They have a pretty good selection of handguns, and a few rifles, but no AR-​15 for rent, which was a bummer. We used two of my pistols, and rented a beretta 9 mm semi-​auto rifle, and it was a lot of fun.
The guy that helped us out was happy to ring us up separately, and even gave us a 15 minute safety/​shooting course in the classroom at no charge. Overall, I don’t think I’ve been to a range where the staff was so accommodating and willing to help. It’s not the biggest range, best facility, or has the widest selection of guns to rent or buy, but as someone that’s been to quite a few ranges, they definitely were the easiest to work with. For some reason, a lot of ranges are staffed by folks that think they’re the shit, just because they strap on a piece and work in a gun shop. This is not that type of place, so go there feeling comfortable if you’re experienced or a beginner.
The only reason I gave 4 and not 5 stars is the selection of rifles they have to rent, and the general inventory of the store is pretty minimal. I’ve been to much nicer, better equipped, ranges, but the people just weren’t as accommodating. Worth a try. I think as long as you’re not being a jerk, you’ll do just fine here.

Look its close. I bring my own guns, ammo, eyes, and ears here. The workers are generally rude. I wont buy anything from here except the lane fee. Place is ok. Gun purchase selection is generally poor.

Greatly disappointed. Went there with my friends and rented a Glock 19. The gun started to get jammed immediately and the bullets will not eject. Got the attitude from the guy and he says that I didn’t know how to hold a gun. Ok. He came saw the problem and returned with another gun. The problem repeated again. This time he comes with another box of ammo and realized that THEY GAVE THE WRONG AMMO. This a Serious risk to injury. When wet asked for a refund We received a silly grin and 20 bucks off the more than 140 bucks wet billed. With this attitude and callousness they can potentially kill someone someday. We are never going back there.

I’ve been to a few ranges in Jersey and PA, but since I’ve come across Ready Aim Fire, I’ve had no urge to go any place else. I can honestly say for the central Jersy/​Philadelphia area, this place is as good as it gets! For starters, it’s huge. They have a nice, spacious storefront, classrooms, and a lunch/​preperation area in the middle of everything. The range itself is clean and somewhat updated. They offer unlimited visit packages with rentals and they also offer discounts to military/​police. Their selection of rentals is pretty huge. They have about a dozen different pistols, some revolvers, rifles, and for us deprived Jersey residents, a fully automatic MP5!!! Another plus is that you can bring your own ammo. But if you need to buy ammo, they have Lawman Ammo. Everybody at Ready Aim Fire is very knowledgeable, nonjudgemental, unbiased, pretty laid back, and very friendly.
I would also like to add that last year, I left a pair of electronic ear muffs on the counter during a busy Saturday. I never called because I didn’t realize it until about 2 weeks later, so I assumed my ear muffs were gone. But when I went back 4 months later, they were still there!!! Set aside on the shelf, waiting for me. Everything about this place is great. I would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Ready Aim Fire is one of my favorite ranges. It’s kept clean, the staff is always friendly (and usually recognize you after a few visits!) and the prices are good. They have a nice selection of guns to choose from for rental, too, if you don’t own your own or just feel like trying out something different. There’s usually not a huge wait unless you’re there during peak times.
My only complaint of the couple dozen times I’ve been here is when I took a course to get my conceal carry license. I had signed up for it months in advance, but then after the Sandy shooting, everyone panicked and wanted to get the licenses, too. There wasn’t a reservation requirement or a limit on how many people could show up, so the place was absolutely flooded. It took almost all day for something that should’ve been relatively quick and was completely disorganized.
HOWEVER, it’s not Ready Aim Fire who was running the course. They were simply allowing a trainer to use the facility, and RAF was equally as annoyed and concerned about the setup… especially considering it would’ve become a safety hazard for a fire, etc. I wish RAF would’ve stepped in more to insist on more regulation happening, even though it wasn’t their class, but I can’t really fault them for someone else’s messup (or the sheer panic of everyone wanting to get licensed before the possibility of stricter requirements).
That one bad experience isn’t enough to keep me from coming back and is unlikely to ever happen again either. And besides, even with all the frustration, firing off a few rounds afterwards helps ease the annoyance.

Me and a few friends decided to polish off our trigger fingers and head over to this place because it was close to everyone.
Finding this place wasn’t much of a surprise (back road and pull into a commercial/​warehouse converted to offices lot).
The guys working there were to the point and fairly quick to get everyone up and running. 10 bux for the rental (you can swap guns without incurring the rental fee again). I think it was $ 20 per person for the lane, and then you pay for ammunition (which if you’re renting you must use their ammo.). For the 9 mm i think it ran us 25 bux a box.
The lanes itself were fairly standard. My only complaint was that the target moving mechanism would rock for a long time after motion stops, so it sometimes got a bit annoying. To be fair it might have just been our lane as the other’s didn’t seem to move as much. (We had lane 2). If we waited for the target to stop swinging it would take forever so we just took it as an added challenge to target practice.
Overall, it is a bit of an expensive thing to do as a regular hobby, but on the occasion when the urge hits, I will probably come here to get my time in.
One should also note, right before the range portion, there is a public area with picnic type tables for non shooters to sit and lounge/​eat etc…
