howdy folks. If you're in the Erie PA area, post a hello here!
I live in Millcreek. Hello !
welcome roadhog!
what kind of firearms are you into shooting? where is your favorite ranges?
Hi Doug,
Well, mostly my Kimber (45), Rem 700 (30.06), 10/22, and recently sold a Mini 14, and ordered a RRA (been 6 weeks, still not here). Been shooting at SGL #109 for years, but I've had some bad experiences there. I'm considering joining Gem City, in Harborcreek. They have a 200 yd rifle range.
Recently had surgery on my right shoulder, so I'm not sure about shooting any long arms right now.
It's good to talk to some shooters from N.W. Pa.
I shoot at Walnut Creek Rifle Club mostly. Great outdoor ranges for pistols, and there's an indoor shooting range for .22s up to 9mm. It's only $30 a year.
I could help get you in if you want. They have a 200 yard range too, though it's only open two days a week, in the mornings.
A sponsor from an existing member is required. Just send me a privmsg if you're interested.
welcome to the forum, nice to see someone else from NWPA. :)
Sounds like an opportunity to learn how to shoot left-handed!Quote:

Hi Chuck.. what range do you shoot FA firearms at in Erie?
Hey guys I live in the city. I usually shoot at SG109. I am a new member at walnut creek. I just got into shooting AR's.
Hi Blitzo, welcome to the forum! Do you go to the Tuesday Night "shootouts" at Walnut Creek? If so, I'll see you tomorrow! :)
No actually I don't I just became a member there and I have never shot there yet.. Been there but never shot there, from what I seen the members are very helpful and friendly. I usually work tuesday nights so I don't think I will attend to many of those. How big of a crowd do you guys get on tuesdays?
maybe 15-20 guys.. sometimes more, sometimes less..
I agree they're mostly helpful and friendly. If you get a Tueday night off, check it out!
Yeah I will have to come down on a tuesday. Are there any other popular days and times? Whats the round limit on semi autos? On my card it says 10 but I have been told only 5 rounds.
Tuesdays are the big night.. Other nights seem less busy, often empty..
no idea on round limits.. I can tell you that I shoot my H&K P2000 there on a regular basis (13+1) without issues..
Hi Doug, I'm kind of new to posting here so hopefully this shows up in the right place. I'm near Corry and have property, so I shoot at home when the urge hits. Have been invited to a couple of nearby shoots as well (Titusville area). Also to OH for BULLETFEST. WOW! I'll try to visit this board often, looks great so far & Thanks!
OK - lets try again where will this post show up????
Millcreek here
Hello to all,
As the name implies I'm In Erie Co. Down in the UC area..I've shot at Albion Sportsmans club a few times, mostly just go out back...short range for handguns.
Would like to thank Doug for a great site,very informative and have recieved a lot of good insight from the posters.
:)
Welcome, enjoy the site.
From Fairview here
Hello, Jkoter here in Fairview. New to shooting handgun and I shoot at the Walnut Creek gun club. Would be happy to learn from a very experienced shooter that may also shoot at Walnut Creek. If anyone thinks they'd like to share some tips and shoots there would be happy to hear from you. Thanks.
Welcome,
I shoot at Walnut Creek as well. Not nearly as much as I would like to, but I try to get over there at least once a week. Maybe I will see ya there some time.

Hello All! I am trying to get into the Walnut Creek Rifle Club any help would be great!
I've been on this site for about a week and just realized I have not introduced myself on this thread.
Erie County, Union City to be exact.
HELLO EVERYONE!
Anybody here from Union City? Let me know, we're neighbors. :)
Welcome, enjoy the snow!
Hey all! New to the site, decided to put the first post here...seems like the right spot. Not new to Erie however, been here since day 1.
Welcome, maybe we can get a group shoot together........
Pick a date and a place..........................
Count me in!
I haven't been out shooting in awhile, would love to. But...I have a wife & kids...not to mention it's archery season. Lets plan in advance and I'll try my hardest to be there.
i'm in would be nice to meet you all......pick a time and place
How about the 20th or 21st of October, weather permitting of course. Location TBD. How many are members at Walnut Creek?
I would love to go anywhere in Erie County.
Just pick the place and the time.
Although, being new to PA, I might need directions. Sometimes Mapquest lies.
Are any of you going to the Shoot on 10/14? I am. Went to the last 2 and I had a blast. Real good time!
I went to SGL, Sampson Road, route 97, today about noonish. Couple of people on the rifle range, and I had the handgun range all to myself. It was nice not having to worry about knuckleheads right next to you forcing you to eat their brass, or sweeping you. Even better was not having anyone else see how poorly I shot today. LOL
I have plans to go to camp on the 20th to muzzleloader hunt, but how about Sunday the 21st. I am a member at Walnut Creek. That range will be getting busy soon with the upcoming deer season.

City of Erie here. Fairly new to the area (3 years) Only shot at Bobs gun shop.
Spring will be here before we know it.

I do notice the days getting a tad longer but waking up to the news telling me it -3 outside and the Jeep saying -4 when I had to take the kid to school is a little much. I'm also sick of shoveling snow.
