Public rifle ranges in montgomery county near Pennsburg pa

[Ralex]

Looking for a public rifle range to take my son to. First time for him handling a rifle. Since nockamixon is closed what is the closest range near Pennsburg that is public to fire a 243

Closest public, yet PAY range would be Water & Wings in East Greenville.

It used to be called "Twin S". Costs $15 per person per day (memberships are available). They have a short range where you can set up targets any where up to and including, I believe 50 yards. This is where I began sighting in. They have another range where we spent most of our time where you can set up targets every 100 yards up to 500. Doug and barry brought a bunch of water filled plastic bottles. I mostly shot at paper targets, trying to perfect my scope adjustments. The worst part about the range is the backstops - they have some rather beat up palates that you can attach targets to (with dirt mounds behind them). The best part was that the benches have a roof over them. It rained pretty substantially for a short time while we were there. We and our guns stayed completely dry and continued shooting. It may have occurred to you that 500 yards is really long - there's a stone covered road you're allowed to drive down to set up your targets, which is.. quite thoughtful.

They also have a very nice skeet shooting set up with at least 4 very substantial pigeon launchers, which I must try sometime. It costs significantly more than the rifle range to use.

Hi Ralex, welcome to the PAFOA. Look at the PA Game Commission website, www.pgc.state.pa.us and check the state game lands page and look for the rifle range link and it shows a range up near Fogelsville(Rt. 100 & Rt. 22) in SGL #205. Will be a busy place for the next few weeks...hope you and the son have a good time...Mike45

I have been hearing for years that W&W was being sold to developers. With the price of land around here its only a matter of time. We have been going since it was Twin S.
