Anyone hearing anything about a range under development in Coatesville somewhere off of the ByPass and 82? LE or something? I heard some scuttlebutt and wanted to know if we have a new spot to shoot.

That's the first I've heard of it.. who's butt was scuttled that you overheard?
A friend was speaking with a member for the Emergency Management group for Chester county. She said that there was a range facility going in and that she had been on a site visit there. Only reason I can think she might have been asked to come along would be that perhaps this is for LE NAND potentially military. I don't know first hand, just was wondering if anyone knows anything g similar.
Never heard of it. Would be nice if it's going to be open to public...
I think she may be talking about this:
About 5 years ago there was a restaurant/gun club in that area. They tried to sell memberships similar to a country club. The most basic entry fee was crazy expensive so I didn't bite. We toured the facility (which included indoor pistol and trap ranges) and ate at the restaurant a few times (Noah's Family Restaurant). The food was good but overpriced IMO.
I heard the range was financially underwater from the start and didn't get enough serious interest to make it viable.
The restaurant, by the way, lasted about 3 years before closing.

I'll bet the range facilities are still there waiting to be used.....
Oh, interesting... This address for the restaurant is 255 Mount Airy Road, and..."Philadelphia Rock Gym" lists this location/address as one of their locations (PRG Valley). Http://www.philarockgym.com/directions.php
Right in the wonderful little ghetto of Rock Run.
Can't imagine the clientele of any range in that area would be any fun to be around. It could prove surprising, though, like PRG.
how about the chester county police, fire, ems training center site they just opened in that area? i think it was on property of lukens steel i believe. fire and ems are set up but the police range is not in as of yet. i dont think it will be open to the public.
Some 10 plus years ago, there was a Rock Run Sport Complex or Shooting Range. I was barely 18 and had a whole different concept and thought process about guns. I took my .22 there once. Now I don't go into Rock Run 1. without at least 2 guns and 2. If I absolutely can't go around it and P.S. there are tons of ways around it... lol
Something local and with private membership would be nice, but it sounds like this place will only be for Law Enforcement and military.
