The Wonderful Route 6 Range - Revisited

[indiandave]

the closest barracks is not that far away. I believe its an exit or two at most.

the barracks are just down the road on route 402. maybe six miles or so.

State Police Barracks approximately 4 miles away on route 402 about a mile south of 84

Still hasn't been fixed. Was up there today with the Mosin. I did manage to meet one of the maintenance guys He said if anyone sees someone doing something stupid (shooting up the stands, using shot-shells, etc) call this number 570-675-1143. It's the PGC office in Dallas, Pa. They will send the PSP over to chase the idiots out. If possible get a license plate number if they leave and they will send a summons in the mail. Cell phone pics are helpful also.

I stand corrected. The PSP is down the road. However, I hope they'd prioritize the vandalism call.

As for my mention of the particle board, notice in the OP's 2nd pic, it appears as if they are using some type of paneling behind the pleather/vinyl. The last time I was there (months ago), they were using particle board. I don't know why they need either behind the pleather/vinyl. I can only guess that it is because they don't want to replace the p/v on a regular basis. Once it gets "holey," it's difficult to attach targets...a solid, like wood, is stiff enough to still hold staples even if it is full of holes.

What you see is a piece of T-111 plywood that someone put there to hold their target up

i know ive made suggestions to the game wardens when ive seen them at the range. They pretty much dont care. Most act like its an inconvenience to do anything. it wouldnt be so bad if they let you put your own targets up. or if you can stick to the 100 since the retards cant sling buckshot that far. its not wortht he fine to bring out your own target stand though just wish they'd take better care of it. I go there as a last resort. Ive found a nice quiet place that I can go set up by me and shoot small caliber stuff for now and maybe a place a little farther away that I can shoot bigger stuff.
