All of the state game land ranges have a 3 round rule in rifles and 6 round rule in handguns. Gonna have to pay to find a range that allows you to load more than 3. And then not all places will let you go nuts with a full mag.

well 6 in a handgun isn't that bad, especially for free use. Sucks in a rifle though, that could be tedious with with a semi-auto AR/AK type hehe.

What about carried firearms on your person? do you have to reduce the load in that?

Thats because there is "no" pistol lanes at French Creek. However, the official game commission rule is 6 in a handgun. It never says that you can't use handguns at rifle lanes, or must abide by 3 rounds when using such firing lanes.

Default Re: French Creek State Park

After observing some unsafe gun handling, I stay away from there- free or not.

I belong to 5 gun ranges so I have plenty to choose from.

I went to the one above Harrisburg once-some guy scavenging brass was crawling down the row in front of the benches. I found this out when he stuck his head up in front of my rifle while I was sighting in. Another 2-3 seconds and it wouldn't have been pretty. I pay money to belong somewhere safer now.
