Indoor rifle ranges - 100 yard minimum?
Does anyone know of any indoor rifle ranges that are 100 yards or more in the Harrisburg/York/Lancaster area?
If so, please let me know. Thanks!

Re: Indoor rifle ranges - 100 yard minimum?
I have never even heard of a 100 yard indoor range.
Not saying it could not exist, just that the costs would provably be prohibitively high. That it a huge amount of commercial square footage. The air filtration system would be huge. The backstops would need to handle a variety of rounds people are looking to shoot at 100 yards.
They are probably out there, but how many range owners are going to invest that much more than they need to so they can pick up the few extra long range customers?

Skeet is a sport where you are better to hit half of each bird then completely blast one and miss the other completely.
The choice is yours, place your faith in the court system and 12 of your peers, or carried away by 6 friends.

Steel at both ends of a 25, three bounces, and you've covered 100. That would put the target at your end... so you can see the score immediately.

Re: Indoor rifle ranges - 100 yard minimum?
The only one I've ever heard about was a warehouse in Houston Texas that was used by its owner to test guns and loads. He did invite people in to work up loads and find problems with their rifles. It was quietly shut down to the public I don't know it the owner still uses it for his personal shooting.
One hell of a great idea.
