Moving to the WB area...

[rvtshooter]

I should be moving to the Wilkes barre area in the near future. I have a CCW from New Mexico and have trained others in shooting. Where should I look to start my new CCW and places to shoot????

Oh..... you said GO SHOOTING.... not where are the shootings.....

Seriously..... go to the county courthouse in WB for permit. Search web for luzerne county courthouse and follow links to sherif. Read instructions carefully as they only take money orders.

Places to shoot are tough. Most people shoot in the woods and the "strippens" either legally or illegally. There are a few game commission ranges that require a permit and LOTS of rules. There are also a few private ranges with long wait lists. Advanced Arms in Pittston is planning an indoor range with no timetable that I know of.

Did I miss anything??????

The shooting range in Suscon is rifle only, not sure about the others though.

Most people I know either shoot on their own property or at "unoffical" shooting ranges (woods, etc).

I hope Chris moves forward with an indoor range...I'm sure there's enough demand for it.

Thanks for the info, I look forward to the relocation and starting the process..

The range on Suscon Rd is listed as a "rifle" range, however the PGC doesn't bother people who shoot handguns there. However, the closest targets are set at 50 yards, so unless you want to shoot at that distance, you may want to find a range set up for handguns.

That is pretty much how all the PAGC ranges that I've been to are. At a rifle range you just have to limit yourself to 3 shots before reloading.

If I remember the language correctly, the rule is, "maximum of 3 rounds except for pistols at a designated pistol range."

OP, if you choose to go to a PGC range, you must either have a PA hunting license or range permit.

rep sent...it would be way funnier if it wasn't true!

the PGC on rt 118 in Sweet Valley has a separate pistol range. Max # of rounds for pistol is 6. You need range permit or PA hunting license.
