Union County Archery Range at Oak Ridge Park — Attraction in Edison

I had heard of an archery range being so close to home and here I thought I found the place I could practice with my bow. I'm giving this location a 1 star because I was told by the Parks office that my New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife-issued Bow Hunting Education course completion card was not enough evidence to prove that I understand range safety.

You have to take the County's course, which cost money, and once completed, you have to retrieve a permit to be able to go, meaning more money.

This is...

You need to attend a two hour safety class ($20) It goes over general archery safety and the specific safety and etiquette requirements of this particular archery range. You also need to get an annual ID ($15 or 30). It is a safety-first kinda place. It is tucked in a quiet corner of Oak Ridge Park. It has its own parking lot. Very well maintained. Some ranges are over $100/year. This place...

I wish I could find a down side of this location. There is plenty of parking, You have to take a safety course before using the range. everyone who come to the range is friendly and helpful. If you need an allen key, there is always someone who has one. I have spent the last 10 years or so using this range it is by far the best public range...
