Re: Range usage permit
Just to be clear. As a resident of Pa., If I want to use the gun range on the state game lands (#141) on Rt 93 just outside of Nesquehoning I need to have a hunting license or pay for a range permit?
I used this pistol range about 10 years ago with and I had a Game Commission officer get out of his car and talk to me, he never mentioned anything. He did question the 25 rd mags I had loaded in plain sight but the rifle was in the car and we didnt shoot it. We were shooting an S2K and he came over to talk about the rifle. He was an older guy and was pretty cool about the 25 rdrs. I had my wifes son and his friend, and they were the only ones shooting.Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise

Re: Range usage permit
The state game land ranges are paid for and supported by the PGC and paid for by hunting license fees. They do not get money from the PA general fund (taxes). They started implementing the licensing due to misuse and abuse of the ranges, and are not totally successful at that, but it seems to help. Much like the game lands themselves are open to other recreation, but certain restrictions are imposed to preserve the resource.

Re: Range usage permit
That's for sure. Between the archaic rules and the yahoos that frequent the SGL range I finally had enough three years ago. My club range membership costs 20 bucks a year. And it actually has usable benches, some under cover, and usable target boards. It's disgraceful the condition the SGL range was in the last time I was there. Target backers with nowhere to even staple a target, a total of four benches, made up of weathered plywood with splinters. One wonders where the money they get for the ranges goes. To pay for enforcement of the three round rule? SGL 109.
