Any ranges west or north of PGH without a membership cap?
I moved away 3 years ago and now I am back so I lost my place at Forest grove and every club I've inquired about so far has a membership cap and they are full. I have absolutely zero interest in indoor pay to play ranges, I like to make the day of going to the range, taking a lunch enjoying the outside etc. any clubs with open membership?

Ambridge sportsmans is still open that I know of. Group shoot at Monroeville Pitt Carrin in 2 weeks. I'm sure a member from there will chime in.

Yeah, PMSC isn't north, or west, but if you want to join us to "get out and shoot" until you can find a club, check out the link in my sig line below.
It's just an informal gathering of forum members - not a competition.
Shoot, eat bacon cooked right on the range, and meet new people.

How about Beaver Valley Rifle & Pistol Club?

Rochester Sportsman Club still has a few openings. And even if regular membership is full they have an “associate membership”, which is basically a waiting list that lets you use the ranges and do everything except vote on things.

Washington County Tactical Range is SW of Pittsburgh, about a 45 minute drive. We offer a unique shooting range with 5 shooting areas with 45+ machine guns that members can rent. Plus we are a CMP Affiliated Range (which means belonging to our range qualifies you to purchase firearms from CMP). Details here:

Open membership, no sponsorship required, no meetings, no work details, and you are not required to purchase anything from us. You get a key to the gate and can shoot Monday to Saturday from 10am to 10pm and 1pm to 10pm on Sundays.

Depends on how far you want to travel the Ridgway Rifle Club has no limits imposed on membership. We have a silhouette range for high power and targets out to 1000 yards. Also a 200 meter/cowboy action/sight-in range. 4 high berm pistol range, NRA type towel for sporting clays, 22 silhouette range and a 50' indoor range. Cost of membership is $40/year. You will have access to to the clubhouse and outdoor ranges. Only time any ranges are closed is during various matches. You can see more at our website ridgwayrifleclub.com.
