Why aren't new outdoor ranges and gun clubs being formed in PA. ?

[Iron Sights]

Where I live there are practically no outdoor ranges. There is really only one and it is old and expensive, especially for new members.

I understand that land is limited but with the increased interest in the shooting sports I would think that it could be a viable business opportunity for some people. Just look at how much land is dedicated to golf.

Other ranges I have been invited to were great but driving an hour and a half one way, shooting for a couple of hours and then driving back home is tiring . For me the driving takes some of the enjoyment out of the range trip.

Because NIMBY's that's way.

I can appreciate that to a degree. Even the most densely parts of an region still has some open space that could have a hundred yard and shorter ranges.

Sounds like a business opportunity for you. Now all you need is a million dollars and a business plan.

Some thing about poker games and scantily clad women?

That is not a gun club.
