Free 100yd rifle range near Philly?
Anyone know of one? Need to get my AR zeroed.
There was one outside of reading but I read it closed down. What else?

Here's the link off of the GC website:

Not that much close to Philly. I guess Lehigh or Berks countiies would be the closest. Or if you wanna take a ride to the Upper Bucks area, I could bring you to one of the ranges I'm a memeber at.

Another option is Wicen's. While not free, you don't have to get a year membership; you can pay a la carte for single visits.

Actually, if you shoot only a few times a year, it's probably cheaper than joining a range.

I said free. I'm aware of HFGC but I can't afford that.

Re: Free 100yd rifle range near Philly?
The range on State Game Lands #43 in Elverson (Northern chesco, on the Berks county border) is about the closest free range to Philly. It's a few miles from the Route 100 exit on the turnpike.
Best time to go is weekdays. It gets full on the weekend. Note that there is a three-round limit on the state ranges. WCO's do patrol the ranges and will write you up if they catch you loading more than 3 rounds into your gun.
