Anybody know if the SGL183 shotgun range is back up?

since 183 closed down ive been going to archbald.

Its a longer drive but its worth it, the 200 yard range is nice and I get to shoot trap which is always a must lol.

Did he say TRAP… You mean like real 5 station trap?

I did some shooting today. Although the backstops were better than they have been in a long time, they haven’t cut the grass in a while. The 100 yard range was almost ass high, 50 was about 2’ and 25 would have been the same if it had grass.

Due to budget cut's the grass isn't being cut.

I checked out Archbald SGL 300 on our way to dinner in {GASP} Dixon City {GASP} yesterday. It was nice and clean, well cropped and in-tact backstops. The 100 and 200 yard benches are covered and parking is only about 20’ from the firing line. The handgun section has 2 tables to setup your range gear on, but no benches. There were only 2 - 50 yard benches. The shotgun area looks OK with easy access, bring your own thrower. All in all, a nicer place than 183.

They dyberry range is about 1 hour from the school on 739 in dingmans. Went there today on a whim, did some shootin with the new pistol and bought the kids up as well.

Didnt see any shotgun range but the range is NICE...tucked away...

Does anyone know if the dyberry skeet/trap range is open on 191?

Snert...

Hey Snert,

New Pistol???

Hmm, Dyberry sounds like a reasonable ride, is that on 4007 (SGL 159)? The PA Game Commission web site doesn’t list shotgun areas. I ordered a CZ 452 Varmint from Advanced Arms, it should be in this week. Although I will most definitely try it out before next week, if you want to plan a Dyberry trip next Monday… Maybe Mike may want to join us??

I could probably swing a Monday. Dyeberry is my favorite range. Honesdale is a bitch to get through now with all the construction but I know a few shortcuts. It's usually never crowded. For some reason I ran into NJians once. I found it rather odd. Especially since it's in the middle of nowhere. They even cut the grass out there.

200 yd range @ Archbold is tempting. My buddy who was going to come last time works m-f and only has weekends off. Oh well. What time do you want to meet @ dyeberry?

College tuition has been taking a nice chunk out of my wallet. It's killing my "new gun" purchase. I wanted to get a PS-90 or FS2000. I'm still waiting for that shitty stimulus check. I may end up just getting a plinker P-22.

I was at 183 today, and they actually cut the grass.
They must have done it last night ( afternoon), cause I was there yesterday morning, and it wasn’t cut then.
It was a nice day at the range, hanging out with regulars, a group of old timers that meet there every Tuesday.
What ever you do, do not give info on Daybery range, lets keep it a secret as long as possible.
Best
