Looking For A Good Shotgun Range in Northeast PA
I am looking for a good shotgun range in Northeast PA, preferably in the Easton and Bethlehem area. I used to go to this really good shotgun range which interestingly enough was located in NJ in Kenilworth but the range has long since closed down and in this day and age I wouldn't go shooting in NJ anyway, but anybody who remembers the Kenilworth range, you could do both trap and skeet there, it was a really nice range. So anyway Im looking for good shotgun ranges where you can use any gauge and where you can shoot trap and skeet in Northeast PA.

Doesn’t get any better than that in the area.

My dad got a ticket either going to, or coming back from there in the 1960's.
A stop sign was knocked down the night before and he didn't know it. The cop was a big dick, and he had to fight the urge to let him know he had a shotgun in the trunk.

I would start with Rural Sportsman(Trexlertown) and Ontelaunee Rod and Gun(New Tripoli). Both have Trap and Skeet, both are on the western side on the Lehigh Valley.
Rural has more skeet people and therefor they're open most Saturdays, and maybe Sundays along with Trap.
Ontelaunee has international trap too if you like humiliation:) Thursday nights you can shoot trap under the lights, and skeet light permitting. Saturdays trap is open to the public, and skeet on the first Saturday of the month
Thinking of all the clubs we shoot at with the Lehigh Valley Trapshoters league, and the Suburban League: Lappawinzo has skeet but I am not sure how much it's open. Pocono Slate Belt is only trap as is North End. Blue Ridge, East Bath and Ranger all just trap as far as I know.
Of course as mentioned, Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays are in a league of their own.
There are a lot of other gun clubs, I am just not aware of the ones with both trap and skeet.

You could check out the Pocono Slate Belt Shooting Association. Trap only, no ranges for pistol or rifle https://www.psbsa.com/
