Public Shooting pits/ranges? (not SGL)
I have started to dislike some of the people at my range and I'm starting to look elsewhere. Are there any good "shooting pits" in the poconos or a shortish drive away?
I went to one years ago somewhere near Cabelas in Hamburg. It was great, we basically parked on the side of the road and shot into an old strip mining pit. There was everything to MGs and 50BMGs to people shooting grandaddys rifle. Rich people, poor people, everyone was cool.
My range is okay. I shoot at East Bangor. I like that I can basically shoot any target I want from pumpkins to steel to paper, but some of the people annoy me. A lot of people like to screw around downrange rather than move the target stand closer and run "tactical drills". I don't care what you do but stand behind the damn firing line.
I know ranges like Roseto exist and are more strict with things like that, but shooting paper gets boring. I like steel.
When I get a higher paying job I'm tempted to look for a rural area that I can buy land for cheap for my own range.
