New Macungie resident looking for a place to shoot
As per the title, I recently moved to Lower Macungie and am looking for a place to shoot (and a sponsor if necessary).
I primarily shoot rifle and pistol and wouldn't mind shooting something other than paper (cans, bottles, steel, etc).
A bit of googling helped me find:
- Alburtis Rod and Gun Club (5 Min)
- Guthsville Rod and Gun Club (20 min)
- Unami Fish and Game (20 min)
- Topton (15 min)
- Hereford (5 min)
If there are any recommendations (or places to avoid) I'm all ears.
Re: New Macungie resident looking for a place to shoot
If I lived in LM the place I would look most close to is Topton. Guthsville and Unami are good. Don't know anything about Alburtis or Hereford. I'm not a member of any of these clubs but shoot matches at them from time to time. Of the three I haven't been to Unami this year, the others at least twice. Check to see how far Pricetown Rifle and Pistol (In Fleetwood) is from you.
But if Topton is in your range then that is good place. Of the several I mention I doubt that they will be very happy to have you shoot cans or bottles but legitimate steel plate targets should not be a problem. There are however numerous gun clubs in this area so if shooting at cans is your thing you can probably find something.

guthsville great gun club, alburtis great fishing and hunting with a okay gun range i am a member of both.

If you are willing to take the drive, University Rifle Club in Exeter is still taking members. They have steel out to 600 yards. You can look them up on Google. If you want more info PM me.

Would you be willing to help sponsor to guthsville?

I used to be a member at Alburtis. It was $10 a year and no one ever shot, they just hung out in the clubhouse.

I just moved up this way as well. I’m going to join Ontelaunee but they’re closed for the time being. Is there any public outdoor long gun ranges open currently with all the shit going on?

I joined Ontelaunee 3 days before they closed down, but I have done a few competitions there and it’s an excellent club, probably the best in the area. As far as other ranges being opened, none that I know of. The PGC shut down the state game land ranges a few weeks back. You might find a couple indoor ranges running now that they are deemed essential.

Thanks for the info. I’m a stones throw from grouse fish and game and heard people target shooting today. It got me itching to go so I figured some places are open. Maybe I’ll drive down there and see what’s the word with them. Still will join ontelaunee in the future.
