Scotia range is off Rt 322. Go to the end of College Ave, right on 26. Follow straight. Couple miles on the left.

From the intersection of Atherton St and W College Ave. Take College Ave West bound for aprox 2.8 miles until you reach W Whitehall Rd. Turn Right on W. Whitehall Rd and travel west bound for aprox 3.8 miles until you reach Tadpole Rd. Turn Right onto Tadpole Rd and travel another 2 miles or so untill you come to a sharp curve to the left, tadpole road continues to the left and W Gatesburg road is striaght ahead, continue onto W Gatesburg rd. for aprox a mile until you come to Scotia Range Rd. (there is a wooden sign on a stone peditsal here). Turn Right onto Scotia Range Rd and travel for about another mile, when you come up to a chainlink fence with a gate you've made it to the range.
That is my prefered route of travel to get to the range, the dirt road is much nicer this way, the road on the way I'm about to write is in HORRIBLE condition. I would not drive it with my car unless I HAD to, if I had a truck or SUV it would be a different story.
The second way (and more common I would bet)
From the intersection of Atherton St and W College head North on N Atherton St for aprox 4 miles, continue straight taking the ramp onto I99/US322/US220, continue and take the Grays Woods Exit, loop around onto Grays Woods Blvd. Once on Grays Woods Blvd continues to Scotia Rd. Turn Left onto Scotia Rd then continue for aprox 1 mile until you come to the intersection with Scotia Range Rd on the left (Wooden Sign) Scotia Range Rd is another dirt/gravel rd Travel aprox 3miles until you reach the range.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

Ruggerio, when will you be doing this? It might be a chance for some of the other members to get together and do a bit of shooting.
Josh - In your first part I think you meant W. College not W. Beaver. Remember Beaver is one way east, College one way west (until you get to the split at Houts).
Also, when taking the first way described, (which is the easiest I think) to find W.Whitehall Rd, look for the stoplight that has a Large Uni-Mart on the left, A car dealer catty corner to the left and a farm store (Harners) on the right. That is where you turn to the right.
yeah Ron, you got me! I fixed my first post and it should now read correctly. Sorry man.
i was at the range on wendsday nice range. all i did was shoot my 92f about 200 rounds. had a problem with a used p-mag i purchased from our classified but i am not concerned about it i believe they provide a lifetime warranty. had one other issue that is a first for me. when i got to the last round the slide remained open a few times and did not push the 5th, final round into the chamber. it was not a ftf but acted just as it does when the mag is empty wierd any thoughts?
and thanks for the directions. i wish i had them in time.
