Re: Outdoor public range?
Theres French Creek state park public range in Berks county but I would advise against it. Id rather pay to go to any other indoor or outdoor private range. The amount of unsafe acts Ive witnessed at free ranges will prevent me from ever going again.

Link to the Pa Game Commission public ranges for those that purchase a hunting license or range use permit.

Not that I consider $30 annually a large amount but it is more than what I pay for annually at a private gun club. I dont see French Creek listed as one of the 29 ranges they mention

I thought French Creek was rifle only?
And maybe I missed something on the state game land site because I didn't see pistol there locally either.

French Creek used to have it all, skeet, pistol and rifle. It has been a few years since my last visit but the skeet range was closed, the pistol backers were gone and the place looked like a slum.

This may be out of the desired territory but there is Wicen's in Bucks County. I find the staff to be friendly & personable but strict on safety. My only complaint is the concrete cover at each station. Reflects the sound back at you but they are there to prevent you from shooting over the berm and into public park land. Since I've hiked in that land I appreciate the protection.
Pay per use, $25 for rifle or pistol, +$10/class for first time orientation on each of their three classes (rifle, pistol & shotgun). No memberships.Last edited by MarkS20; December 28th, 2017 at 11:24 PM.
