Where to shoot around york
Since my old range burned down in october, I have been itching to go out shooting. I am well aware of the dillsburg state game range. I prefer the area to have indoor ranges since I sometimes like to go and sight in my crimson trace or test it out. Also looking for a place that allows me to shoot shot guns and Ar's. I have heard some bad things about freedom armory, not sure if its all true or not. Any other recommendations that have indoor range space to shoot?

Re: Where to shoot around york
Personally I'm not a fan of freedom armory, I used to shoot there when I first moved to the area since it was close to my house but didn't stay there long because they are very expensive and have some weird rules. You have to buy a membership to shoot, was $160 for the year for my wife and I, and then even after you have the membership you still have to pay $15/hr for range time, and you are not allowed to draw from a holster in their range, no exceptions. Also unless you pay with cash or a debit card, they charge you a 3% fee on everything in the store, including range time.
My suggestion is the Trop, it's a little bit of a drive but in my opinion is worth it. Very nice range, not too expensive and also a very nice store. They also hold classes and events from time to time there now.Last edited by cham09; November 5th, 2016 at 08:15 PM.

Looking on trops website, it looks like you have to be a member to shoot there. The website is confusing about membership and their costs. Also appears you cannot shoot a shotgun there which is a big thing for me as I am looking for a place to shoot a shot gun

West Shore Sportsmen's Association (WSSA)

$65/year for a adult membership. Shoot what you bring, just make sure that all rounds hit the impact berm. No stupid round limits. No stupid rate of fire rules.
I was there this past Saturday for a couple of hours (10:30-12:30). I had the rifle ranges (50yd and 100yd) to myself for everything but about the last 30 minutes. The pistol ranges had some customers, but nothing that would even remotely classify as busy.Soap Box - Worn out : Ballot Box - Broken : Jury Box - Pending : Ammunition Box - Unknown

Re: Where to shoot around york
Are you in the city of York or York County? Depending on which part you can also look into Green Springs Rod & Gun (Hanover area), East Berlin Fish and Game, Jefferson Sportmans Assoc (Spring Grove) and York Springs Sportmans Club. These may not be as close as a range in town but you'll spend less on an annual membership than hourly range rates.

Re: Where to shoot around york
I have been a member of York Rifleman and East Prospect F&G. Both great clubs, no stupid/unrealistic rules (although safety is paramount and non-negotiable........meaning don't be a retard and everything will be fine).
There is a waiting list for both. But once in, you will never want to leave. York Rifleman has an indoor small bore range (.17 and .22 short or long only, no mag). East Prospect is pretty far out there but hardly ever busy. York Rifleman is close to Rt. 30 and the Galleria Mall area. Hope this helps.

I went on a tour of West Manchester Fish & Game a little while ago, considering joining. VERY nice facilities, metal targets, pistol and rifle range, indoor archery and even an outdoor archery course and fishing creeks. Only $50 a year. You need to attend a meting to join.

I go to Dover F&G. $25 to join, $15 a year after first year...no meetings...grounds are nnothing special but there never anyone else there. They do meat shoots and events.
