Tobyhanna SGL Range Reports

I made it there Thursday for about a half an hour, 1100-1130. Everything looked in good shape, clean. I was the only one on the pistol range, only 2 guys shooting one LOUD rifle on the other side.

Had a nice shoot.

Who do I have to bitch at to get the access gate opened for the road next to the range. There still game in season that needs hunting and all that property is untouched. There's no reason that gate should be closed.

Was at the range yesterday at approximately 1300 to 1400 hours. Couple of folks on the rifle range where I was. Shot my AR for the first time for a little bit, then went over to the pistol side and put a few rounds down range. Quiet, not jack asses, and everyone was following regulations.

maybe it's part of a "get fit PA" program, walk around it. or they don't feel it's much of a road, don't want to spend all day hauling stuck vehicles out of the area.

I think it's mostly due to them not wanting to patrol all of Seven Mile Road all summer for people who want to try to grow pot on the SGL or cook up meth in propane tanks or just get drunk and shag. Plus it would help cut down on poaching at night far back in. Plus, it gives the critters a couple months to chill out.

It is unfortunate that it isn't open all summer long as there are some nice areas back there to call for coyote and there's plenty of blueberries that are going unpicked. I can, however, understand if this is why they do it.

[fallenleader]

...i understand those reasons as well, i'd still call and try to get a reason.

maybe a consideration, mountain bike, bike your way in/out.

the road is now open

Had 2 Sunday afternoon shooting gatherings in the last 4 weeks. All went well, no scary moments, no serious rule infractions, not too crowded. Seems like the permitting process is thinning out the miscreants. Weather couldn't have been better.

One thing to mention, had to inform someone that they cannot shoot at a cardboard box they brought and placed on the ground as a target on the 50yd side of the pistol range. Other than that no problems/issues. Everyone safe and cordial.

We all had a great time.
