sorry for not answering sooner (didn't see your question)..

Bedford is actually closer, but I have too many friends in at HSC to go elsewhere.

No sponsor needed, just show up.

At the end of the road going into the club, there is a trailer on the right side. Thats where the caretaker lives, if you see his green dodge stop and he can set you up with a membership.

Or you can go to the HSC website, print out an application, and mail it in or put it in the "membership" mailbox at the indoor pistol range. Its a huge mailbox, you can't miss it, and it costs you no postage.

Up to you.

I can recommend Bellwood. And the 300 yard range is flat. You don't have to walk up some mountain to get to the targets.

Thanks for all the responses, I drove around Hollidaysburg on Sunday and sent in application yesterday, seemed pretty nice to me.
The hill at the rifle range worries me a little with my heart, but what doesnt kill you.....
I did notice a sign above the rifle range that said steel plates are for 22 cal only....do they mean 22lr? or can you shoot them with an aR? Of course I dsidnt get out of the car so I have no idea where the plates were.
