Default Flying Solo - Philly Ranges

I am following up on my earlier posts (http://forum.pafoa.org/ranges-18/636...tml#post936691 (Great time @ Classic Pistol)) about wanting to get out to the range and shoot.

My problem remains that I am flying solo. I do not particularly want to go with, or trust, my friends to the range.

I would just like to acclimatize myself to some of the basics. As I mentioned, it has been a long time since I've last shot, and I'm not planning on picking up a firearm just yet. Do you fine gentlemen (and ladies!) have any suggestions for ranges, flying solo, in the Philly area? If the "two or more" rule is pretty universal... then what now?

If you schedule a lesson with an instructor at Classic Pistol, ask if they'll waive that requirement. Bob has been EXTREMELY patient about answering all of the various questions I've thrown his way via email (and answered every single one of them), I'd be willing to bet that they'll accommodate you.

You should go to see Steve at Pistol People in Bensalem. He is an expert instructor and even has written a book. His rates are extremely reasonable and he will bend over backwards to teach you anything you want to know. Give him a call. He has a website just google Pistol People.
