    I don't know if it's reopened yet. It had been closed for quite some time.

    if its the place im thinking, right next to french creek state park, you can shoot trap on the left and the range is on the right. I've always done that anyway and never had an issue.

    I was just hunting past there this morning. The trap portion of the range is closed. The rifle portion of the range is open.

    It is open but from what I saw the shotgun area is not open. That was like 3 weeks ago.

    trap portion is closed permanently, claims are its always a mess, and nobody picks up thier trash.

    range has been modified, the only targets left are the 100 yard, and 50yd rifle/slug gun targets.

    no more 25yd pistol or rimfire range.
