I'm new to PA as I just moved from Alaska in May. Unfortunately I don't know anyone in the area so my weekly range trips are solo. I joined 717 Armory so that's where I shoot. If you're interesting in meeting up to shoot at 717 (I can bring guests if you're not a member) or your range (if you can bring guests), let me know.
I see this post is a few months old, but anyhow.. I live 2 minutes from this place but never actually looked into it. I've only ever seen their website from when it was first opened. I'm curious as to how much it is to join there and if it is worth it because I am currently a member at the hunters and anglers in Middletown and was wondering if 717 would be better.
Oddly enough, the OP, who is looking for shooting buddies never came back since he made that post.
Would you after that cold shoulder? Poor guy.Quote:

Yeah, I'd come back and bump it up and ask. He at least should have come back and checked in on it, he hasn't been back since he posted it.Quote:

Someone that shares the love of inhaling burnt nitrocellulose and feeling the concussive blast shooting indoors. JOY! A nibble from someone that wants to try 717 Armory.Quote:

Forgot I posted this. Ha! I will say my heart fluttered a little when I saw I finally got a response.
I’ve been going to 717 every week since I joined. I think it was about $400/year to join, but I think it’s been worth it. They have a private, members-only 50 yard range with Action Target carriers. They did an indoor steel shoot a few months ago too.
If any of you are interested in visiting, I can bring guests for free (otherwise I think it’s $15/20).
I stopped in there last summer and it def was a nice place. Is there still a BBQ place next door?
HA! unclejumbo had it pegged right.
