find a deserted power line....thats all im aware of in NEPA unless there is a private range somewhere.
Seriously? Your recommendation is to go trespass on someone's property and set up your own makeshift range? Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.Quote:

There maybe private ranges of that length, but I don't know of any public ranges that can handle 500-600yds. I usually go to coal pits to do my blasting and longer range shooting. As long as you clean up and don't bother any equipment they don't mind you shooting there.Quote:

In NEPA these are your only long range areas to shoot. Most places are known to the locals as "safe to shoot" spots.
If you can make do with a 300 yd range, there's one between Jim Thorpe and Weatherly. I believe that it is on state gamelands.
If you are travelling north on Rt. 93 from Jim Thorpe, once you crest the hill, the entrance to it will be about a mile on your left.

Pike County, there is a powerline that crosses Rt 402 & runs thru State Forest,Quote:

Give Rod a call at Bryant firearms he has a 700 yrd range at his shop and he is a great guy to deal with. He is just north of Honesdale 570-253-0370 tell him Jay sent you.
