    Default Pistol range at State range near gamelands 43?

    Hello all,
    I seem to have found conflicting information on whether there is a pistol range at the shooting range @ state game lands 43 (near french creek state park). The game commission website says there isn't one, but there are several other reliable sources (including old threads from this forum) that talk about the handgun range at this game land. I don't feel like driving out there to find out myself... can anyone let me know?
    Thanks,
    Ian

    there is not.

    they removed the 25yd range, and the shotgun area ther is only the 50 and 100yd target stands.

    the 25yd range was not really a "pistol range" per se... but either way.. its GONE.

    Thanks for the info. I went there, and sure enough there is no pistol or shotgun range, and people did have their own targets set up closer than the backstop. When the game lands warden came, he made everyone get rid of them though, so indeed you can't set other targets up.
