    Default Looking for a range near northeast PA.

    I'm looking for a range in northeast PA. I have a NY unrestricted carry permit and a non resident liscence from FL and UT.
    My daughter 29 is visiting me from FL next month. She has never shot before but wants to.
    In NY one can not even touch a handgun without a NY liscense.
    I'd like to take her to shoot my gun and then do some tent camping in PA. I'm near Port Jervis - NE PA.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've read about Sunset Hills and maybe this is the best and closest place for me?

    Pocono pistol is a great indoor range but it is pistols and rimfire only. Sunset hill is a decent outdoor range and you can fire pistol, rifle and shotgun.

    Both get crowded on the weekends. I shoot at Sunset Hill quite often, if you get there by 9:45 AM (they open at 10:00) you can usually get in before the renters.

    As for camping, there is a KOA campground in Marshals Creek that is nice and a campground in Analomink called Cranberry Run. I've never been to Cranberry Run, but I've not heard nice things about it.

    Also, at Pocono Pistol, there is a great range instructer named Barb. If your daughter is nervous Barb does a great job and is very patient.

    There are game commission ranges in Tobyhanna and Archbald up I380 about 30 miles but you need to go on-line and purchase a range permit unless you already have a PA Hunting Lic.

    Which is very close to Promised Land State Park which has about 300 tent sites...straight up 84 west for about 40 miles
