Much to my surprise the Ridgewood Rifle Range (RRC) at 209 Chestnut Street survives to this day as a private club, despite rising real estate prices in Ridgewood.
The lessons taught about the proper use and storage of guns are sorely missed these days as it appears the RRC is not trying to be anything more than a small club for air rifle enthusiasts.
There is a police/club range in Fair Lawn but a long waiting list and a local residenecy requirement keep the impact of its course of instruction to a minimum. RRC used to host students who enrolled through the Bergen Continuing Education program to "learn how to shoot safely" and earn their NRA qualification.
The RRC name is currently attached to an Internet website which sources the sale of gun store parts and accessories.
