Tobyhanna SGL Range Reports

[MARINE DIVISION TWO]

Rosco,You have more than likeley seen me at the range,I am Big on calling Line is CLEAR and LINE IS HOT.As for getting a bullet in your ass that is why its good to have a partner observing activity on the line when you go to post targets.Now for the Brass Rats,I dont care if you pick up my brass after I leave but for GODs sake stay out from under my feet after I shot 6 rounds and you want to get my brass !

The times I have gone (non-weekend) I have seen safety minded folks. Call "clear", and folks will respond rather promptly, as long as you are not doing it every 5 minutes. I usually put up 4-6 targets to reduce the number of trips down range.

Put them up, come back, and "line is hot", back to shooting.

On a weekend or weekday evening? That's a big Not going to happen.

It's a bit farther, but I prefer the SGL in Archbald.

Same here. My wife and i go to the archbald range now, tobyhanna is off limits. Perhaps one day itll be a better place, but not any time soon

Same here. The one old guy has gotten good as asking and respecting shooters.

Hi All,

Are there any restrictions on allowing a child under your supervision to fire a handgun at the SGL ranges?

[MARINE DIVISION TWO]

OK now,What the hell happened to this range,All backboards are destroyed garbage all over the place ? I would donate my time once a week for an hour or so just to cleanup the pistol side,its a mess so bad the backboards you cant put a staple into it.Anyone else care enough to help clean up ? Took wife to shoot and was dismayed and said dont bring me back here till this place looks presentable. In answer to minuteman,If your child is of the age to hunt and shooting 22lr semi auto pistols or rifle and SUPERVISED PROPERLY ,the Game Warden this morning said its acceptable,I mean no one wants to put a .500 caliber S&W in the hands of a 10 year old ?

I was there last week she stayed out of it but did call out a guy who started to head down range w/o it being called cold. I wasn't even looking up so I thanked her.
