    Well there is always the SGL 300 From Archbald go east on State Route 1012 approximately 2 miles. From Exit 4 of State Route 6, the Lackawanna Industrial Highway, take Salem Mountain Road toward Cortez, approximately 1 mile.

    I can tell you the SGL in Gouldsboro is closed for a month or so for lead removal or decontamination.

    There is rumour of an indoor range right here in the basement of Starr Uniform but I hear it is for police only. However that is where you can take your lethal weapons training as well for your act 235 I believe.

    You can also wander out to luzerne, pike or wayne counties as well for other SGL ranges.

    I hear the Factoryville rod and gun has the largest membership in the area might be worth checking out as well.

    All the SGL ranges in Luzerne, Carbon and Monroe County (#206, #141 and #127) are shut down (at the same frickin' time ) for lead reclamation.

    Which one is that? I live here and I never heard of it. Factoryville is nice as is Wilkes-Barre Rifle and Pistol, not public though.

    I was up at SGL 189 I think it is in Hawley the other day and they too are closed for lead redemption but I think that is considered Pike county there by lake wallenpaupack.

    S.T.A.R.R. uniform has an indoor range, but you have to be Act 235 certified. it's not closed, like i thought, only closed to the public.

    Does anyone know if #141 will re-open soon?
    If not, who can I contact to find out?
