The shooting range is located in New Jersey, just outside of New York City. You can take the bus from Manhattan, with one change. The easiest way is by Uber, which can get you to the shooting range in half an hour from Midtown Manhattan. We took the 198 bus from Port Authority to the Willowbrook Mall Shoppers Stop bus stop and then an Uber for the last leg, which only takes about five minutes. Instead of Uber, you can also take another bus for the last stretch.
