I've never had a problem with saying something when someone starts stealing my brass. I'll start of by politely letting them know that I reload and want my brass. Surprisingly, there are folks who will try to fuss with you about that, or just ignore you. In those cases I have no problem being less polite about the fact that they need to stop stealing my property.

I go to the one off of rt 6 near lake wallenpaupack. Game wardens are always nazis, but that's no different than any other time in this great state. I just wish they would close the range to non residents. We get all these morons form jersey and new york. They always have a ton of guns and take up the whole range.

Give them a break; they're fellow firearms enthusiasts, same as you and me.

When I think about it, you should really feel sorry for them....for they live in the Socialist Republics of New York and New Jersey.

I just don't like the fact that the range is paid for by pa residents and they come here and trash the place and leave. I drive 1 1/2 hrs to work just so I don't have to live in the communist state of NY, so I don't feel sorry for them. I really wouldn't care that much, but it's always packed and you have to wait forever.

I saw what would have been the funniest damn thing ever at SGL183, if it wasn't criminally stupid.

Some young guy and his girlfriend were taking turns with a Glock (shooting in the direction of the 50 yard targets, but that is another story). The guy, after each shot, would recoil in slow motion with the gun up and over his head until the pistol was pointing almost straight behind him! Two handed Death grip on the thing, and finger on the trigger the whole time. Some people just watch too much TV, I guess...
