If you are bringing your own firearm, you may shoot solo in your port.
However, if you plan on renting firearms, you must have at least one other person with you.
For safety reasons, solo rentals are not permitted.
Each port can accommodate up to four people, so you’re welcome to bring friends or family to share the experience.
This policy ensures the highest level of safety while still giving you the flexibility to enjoy the range on your own if you bring your own firearm.
Reservations are not available or required—walk-ins are always welcome at Gun For Hire, America’s Largest 6-Star Gun Range. Most guests simply check in when they arrive and are assigned a port within about 20 minutes.
That said, weekends and evenings can get busy, with an average wait time of about 35 minutes (though this can fluctuate).
No matter when you walk in, our staff will make sure your experience is smooth, safe, and fun from start to finish.
Can I bring a child to the range?
Yes! Gun For Hire is proud to be a true family range. We welcome children to safely experience the sport of shooting with their parents or guardians.
Age guidelines:
-
Under 8: Children may not enter the live range. However, we provide a comfortable family lounge where you can relax and watch from outside the bay. Plus, our youngest guests receive a small surprise gift so they still feel part of the fun.
-
Ages 8 and up: May shoot long guns (rifles or shotguns) under the supervision of an adult 21 or older.
-
Ages 13 and up: May shoot pistols as well as long guns, again with an adult 21 or older.
For safety and comfort, we recommend younger shooters start with a .22LR firearm. If a child shows maturity and the ability to handle more, our instructors may allow larger calibers.
Important to know:
-
Children cannot be left unattended at any time.
-
A parent or legal guardian must provide consent for a minor’s participation. Each visit also confirms agreement to our most current Waiver and Assumption of Risk policy.
Gun For Hire is committed to offering a safe, educational, and family-friendly environment for everyone.
Yes! Gun For Hire is a true destination experience. With over 5,000 five-star reviews, we’ve earned our reputation as the East Coast’s premier shooting range thanks to our incredible staff, welcoming environment, and world-class facility.
We’re open to the public, and visitors from any state or country are welcome to shoot here. You do not need a New Jersey FID card or permit to enjoy the range.
We provide everything you need to have a blast—firearms, ammunition, eye/ear protection, and targets. All you need is a valid government-issued photo ID and a friend. Please note: there are no solo shooters unless you are bringing your own firearm.
-
U.S. Visitors: You may rent and shoot firearms as long as you are not prohibited by law from handling a firearm.
-
International Visitors: We regularly host guests from around the world who want to experience the American tradition of shooting. Simply bring your passport, and our team will guide you through the process.
If you are traveling with your own firearm, please follow all federal and state transportation laws. Firearms must be unloaded and locked in a case, with ammunition stored separately, and secured in the trunk or as far from the driver as possible.
At Gun For Hire, safety and hospitality go hand in hand—making us a must-visit stop for travelers who want an unforgettable American shooting experience.
