I used to live about 5 miles from that range. I was there as guest a few times, really nice place it is, the driveway is steep though. If it will be muddy, park down lower and hitch a ride with someone that has 4 W.D. .

I live about 7 or 8 miles from that range now. The road is much better now Uni, most of it is even paved and Doc Palmisano (of 6mm PPC fame) has a nice gravel parking area too. Where did you live Uni?

[Member0001]

I used to live in Shickshinny up on the hill on Grant St. .

Dr. Lou Palmisano lives up by there too? I thought the range was just named in honor of him.

No 4WD need to get to the range, road is in very good condition. If you look at the first photo there is handicap parking right were the black pickup is parked and a large parking area just past the range on the right.

It has been changed then, it was years ago I was there as a guest.

Hmmmm.........thats on the first day of trout season........just so ya know

By "club membership" do you mean the range or the LCLEOA or both? I looked into joing the LCLEOA a year or two ago when they had a range up near Scranton but I think they wanted a little too much money, especially for having to drive up to Scranton in order to shoot.

Been a long, long time since I've been to that range. Never shot at it, but I know where it is. Maybe I'll swing by and check it out. Of ocurse I might have to make sure I have my Garand or 03A3 along to shoot in the vintage shoot

[Don Francis]

Better than the first day of deer. Membership in LCLEOA includes use of the range.
