Hollidaysburg and Bellwood Sportsmen - Questions about the ranges.

[bigdog02]

Hey all,
I am your neighbor from over in Huntingdon!
Last time I was at my local range I was informed that they are doing away with the guest policy and they are instituiting a "only guns you are allowed to hunt with in PA" range restriction (so no garands, carbines, ARs, AKs, etc.).
Having nieces and nephews and friends who I like to take shooting to introduce them to a fun hobby, the no guest rule really is a nut kicker.
The range restriction is the nail in the coffin that I need to go elsewhere. Over half of my shooting time is spent shooting the AR/AK platforms, garands, m1 carbines, 10/22s, etc.

So with that said, I am testing the waters!

I am looking for a range that:

- is semi-guest friendly. I have young nieces and nephews, friends who are not into shooting and want to learn or see what it is about, a wife that shoots maybe 3-4 times a year. I shoot maybe 15-20 times a year. Majority of the time I am alone, but sometimes I end up bringing someone to shoot a few rounds and enjoy my hobby and learn. Not trying to skirt the system, just curious how the guest system works for someone who may only shoot a couple shots a couple times a year.

- AR/AK/semi-auto friendly. I am a responsible owner, police my brass (or steel lol), and am NOT NOT NOT interested in bumpfiring away 40 bucks or shooting up target posts. Double taps might be about as crazy as I get on a target lol otherwise it is too pricey and not interesting to go blazing away.

- 200 yard range would be nice, but would settle for 100 only.

- FRIENDLY. This is a big one. I like to go and shoot and just enjoy myself and just enjoy a day out. I am pretty quiet but friendly to talk to and an a gun enthusiast, so I love chatting with like minded folks. I am not looking for drama, yelling, unhappiness, loudmouth idiots, know it alls, people who feel that semi-auto guns are the spawns of Satan and should be banned and burned, etc.

Bellwood Sportsmen and Hollidaysburg Sportsmen are about the same distance from me - so those are the 2 that I am looking for info on.

I have a little info on both, but would love more info on both of them.
Thanks guys!
(Things like price would be nice to know too - I know H-burg is $50 single, $75 family but I am clueless on Bellwood).

Feel free to PM me or post here.
