    Default 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.

    Those ranges won't be free for much longer...

    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.

    this looks good. i check the site and saw they did have 100 yard rifle matches. is 100 yard lane open to everyone all day? is the range longer than 100 yards?

    im thinking about joining.

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

    I hear you. But Wicen's charges $15 per day (!!!!) + $7 one time rifle "qualification". You may spend more on gas, driving to the nearest PGC range.

    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.
