Bullet Hole

Bullet Hole sits at 78 Rutgers Street in Belleville, NJ and has been the area's indoor shooting destination for nearly 40 years. It's a full gun shop and range operation that handles everything from first-time shooters to advanced tactical training.

The range itself is state-of-the-art with 10 shooting ports at 23 yards long, featuring electronic target movers. The facility is clean and climate controlled with excellent airflow—built to handle high-powered rifles and pistols.

The key differentiator: Bullet Hole is the ONLY area range capable of handling shotguns of all calibers and shot types (buckshot, target loads, and slugs). This matters if you shoot shotguns.

They stock a large selection of range ammo at low prices, plus targets, eye and ear protection available for purchase on-site.
