No, it's not near Erie. Check out the map... Erie is at the top. Pittsburgh/Monroeville is near the bottom.

It took me about 4.5 to 5 hours from the western edge of Philly to get there and that included stopping for Rand in the Reading area along the way on a Saturday afternoon.
I stayed at the Days Inn 5 minutes away from PMSC on Route 48. A real good time. I want to go again (for my 3rd shoot) and I might just show up some day soon, be warned EM. Bill .

As I said, this is a group shoot. Everyone is welcome. That includes wives, children(supervised), girlfriends, etc... those folks should not be subjected to photos like the one you posted. This thread is NOT the place to publish nudie pics of your girlfriend. Sorry if I sound harsh, but you don't seem to want to let it go. You and your girlfriend are certainly welcome. Just share your personal photos elsewhere.

Group Shoot Range Rules
First time attendees please read (more than once is recommended) Regulars, read it again. All ranges will be COLD RANGES. If you are carrying a loaded firearm, please approach the firing line, point your firearm downrange and unload it. Dry fire your firearm while pointing it downrange and holster it. All holstered firearms must be visibly unloaded with empty magazine wells visible to all. All firearms put on a table or into an open case must have the actions left open and facing up so that all shooters can see that the gun is safe. Chamber flags or other “empty chamber” indicators are strongly encouraged (there will some available for purchase for $1.00/ea at the shoot), but not required. Rounds of ammunition stored on a firearm (shotgun or rifle shells stored on the stock) will not be permitted. Anyone can call "clear" at any time. If you like, see the RSO at your station and he can call it for you. During a "clear" there is no touching of firearms of any sort. No exceptions. During an "all clear" anyone can go downrange to check/paste/hang targets. The all clear continues into infinity until you hear "range going hot". If it has been a few minutes since the all clear and everyone is back on the line, do not assume the range is hot. Either ask the RSO if it is OK to go hot or shout the question "Range going hot?". Wait for others to make sure they have on eyes/ears, check downrange to make sure that there is no one pasting targets and then safely begin shooting again. You are responsible for every round discharged from your firearm. Be certain that all shots will impact the dirt backstop on each range. Rule #1 – ALWAYS point firearms in a safe direction. Your first choice is downrange, second is at the ground, third is up in the air. NEVER POINT A FIREARM AT A PERSON, even if the firearm is unloaded, holstered, disassembled, slide back, or any other condition that you might THINK is safe. Rule #2 – Keep your trigger finger outside the trigger guard until you are ready to fire. Premature trigger contact is the #1 reason for NEGLEGENT DISCHARGES. Rule #3 – Do not load your pistol until you are ready to shoot. Time and procedure for loading is described below. Procedure for main range firing When the RSO calls “Range Going Hot – Eyes & Ears”, you may approach the firing line with an unloaded firearm. Load your firearm on the firing line while pointing it downrange. Fire rounds at will. Unload your firearm prior to leaving the firing line. For pistols with holsters available, unload, clear chamber, dry fire while pointing downrange and holster. For all other guns, unload while pointing the gun safely downrange. Make the gun safe (slide back, bolt open, action open). Move the gun to the table or case and store action open and facing up. Be sure to point the gun in a safe direction at all times when moving from the firing line to the storage vessel. Procedure for Shoot House Approach the house when the RSO has instructed you to do so. The RSO will call out “Clear the house, range going hot”. Then the RSO will walk through the house to make certain that no one is inside. You will be asked “Do you understand the course of fire?”. If you answer “no” it will be explained to you until you do. Once you acknowledge that you understand the course of fire, you will be told “You may load and make ready.” At that time, load and charge your firearm, apply the safety or decock the firearm, and holster. You will be asked “Are you ready?”. Once you acknowledge that you are ready, you will be told “Standby”. Within 4 seconds you will hear the timer beep. Upon hearing the beep, you may engage targets and move through the course of fire as you would like. Your firearm should never break the 180 degree plane of the front of the house. When you are finished firing, wait for the RSO to instruct “If finished show clear”. Remove the magazine from the gun and pull back the slide, ejecting any live cartridge onto the ground. Hold the slide open to show the RSO the chamber. You will both be looking into the chamber to make certain there is no live round in it. You will be instructed “If clear, slide forward.”. Release the slide to the closed position. You will be instructed “Hammer down”. Dry fire the gun while pointing down range. You will then be instructed “Holster” or “Bag” (for guns with no holster you will stow them in a case, bag or rug at this point). At this point the RSO will call out “Range is clear to paste and reset steel”. At this point all present at the shoot house will enter the house, paste cardboard targets, and reset steel. Procedure for Easter Island Bay Approach the shooting station when the RSO has instructed you to do so. The RSO will call out “Range going hot”. You will be asked “Do you understand the course of fire?”. If you answer “no” it will be explained to you until you do. Once you acknowledge that you understand the course of fire, you will be told “You may load and make ready.” At that time, load and charge your firearm, apply the safety or decock the firearm, and holster (hold shotguns in the low-ready position with the safety in the ON position - Note: no shotguns on Easter Island Bay for July shoot). You will be asked “Are you ready?”. Once you acknowledge that you are ready, you will be told “Standby”. Within 4 seconds you will hear the timer beep. Upon hearing the beep, you may engage as you would like. Your firearm should never break the 180 degree plane of the course of fire. When you are finished firing, wait for the RSO to instruct “If finished show clear”. Remove the magazine from the gun(if applicable) and pull back the slide, ejecting any live cartridge onto the ground. For tube magazine-fed shotguns, cycle the action until the magazine and chamber are empty. Hold the slide open to show the RSO the chamber. You will both be looking into the chamber to make certain there is no live round in it. You will be instructed “If clear, slide forward.”. Release the slide to the closed position. You will be instructed “Hammer down”. Dry fire the gun while pointing down range. You will then be instructed “Holster” or “Bag” (for guns with no holster you will stow them in a case, bag or rug at this point, for shotguns, you will open the action and return the gun to its case or rack). At this point the RSO will call out “Range is clear to reset/paste ”. At this point all present at the stage will approach the course and reset steel/paste targets.

You can find directions to the club here:
http://www.pmsconline.com/about_us/directions.htm Once you enter the club grounds, you will see a building on the left and a ball field on the right. That first building on the left is where the all-U-can-eat breakfast can be had.(I'll be there. Nom! Nom! Nom!) As you continue, keep to the right and go past the next building on the right. You will see a trap shooting area on the right. The road will start uphill and you will go around a sharp bend and up a short hill. Essentially, just keep driving until you see cars.
