Default Help needed with range for classes

Some of you will recognize that I just went through the NRA Instructor Basic Pistol course.

While the official paperwork would be consumated for at least another couple weeks I have already been getting some interest in taking the course.

But first things first.

I need a range to hold the class and I need your input.

I can find the commercial ranges, but what I am really interested in are the legitimate private ranges and access to private clubs.

Does anyone have their own range or know of someone who has their own range that might be open to hosting a class of mine?

Does anyone know of a private club (and I would join if necessary) that might be open to hosting a class of mine?

Please send me a private email. I think you just right click on my name.

I am relatively new to the Philadelphia area and any help would be greatly appreciated.


Also, I expect to be able to offer the Defense in the Home and Defense Outside the Home by year end too.

The only private outdoor range I know of around here is Lower Providence Rod and Gun Club. http://www.lowerprovidencerodandgunclub.com/

The site mentions sporting clays but map does not show a course?

Would that be the section labeled Trap?

Sporting clays is different from trap. It is the activity that is sometimes called golf with a shotgun and will have multiple "holes".
