    Default Ontelaunee gun club?

    I was thinking of joining due to they have 200 and 300 yard range and it's only $20 to join with no requirement to attend a meeting. And with the price of gas lower I won't mind the ride. Can someone give their opinion of this range, I would appreciate it.Thanks

    I'm a member, it's a nice range. It's not a "super developed" range by any means, but for the price it is unbeatable.

    I believe it is an Olympic traing site for shooting clays.

    The International Trap range is supposed to be pretty nice. I've never seen it. There are only 2 lanes each at 200 and 300. As often as not, one of the locals will be parked on them all day. Figure and hour and a half drive and the toll was $2.25 a side. Not sure what that'll be up to with the increase. All the rifle and pistol ranges are closed most summer weekends for matches. I only get up there a half a dozen times a year. My shooting partner and I take a day off work, clean out the safes and test the car springs.

    Still worth the price.

    I just mailed my application today. And I figure what the hell for 20 bucks I'll try it for this year. If I make it 2 or 3 times this spring- summer- and fall and hopefully I can try out the 200-300 yard range. If I like it next year will only be 15 bucks to renew,if not At least I had a new place to shoot for this year.

    I love the place. I usually duck up 2x per month on week days and 95% of the time have the place to myself (gotta love working nights).

    That's the only days I would go is during the week, I would take a day off from work. My weekends are usually busy and that's the best time for me to plan any shooting is during the week.

    When I lived in New Tripoli (then Whitehall) I went there frequently. Nice range, people were very helpful and the place is well maintained. It is a beautiful part of the county - I would definitely recommend it. Fortunately, now that I live in Montgomery county, I belong to Branch Valley - another nice club. Hope it works out for you.

    Go during the weekday and you'll probably have an open lane.

    nice range not too many people up there during the week been a few times i was all alone up there making big booms with the mosin and a few times doing the same when it was pouring down rain just like it probably saw back in its prime in russia. i figure for the 20 a year i pay 2 trips up there is about the same as one or two trips to shimersville for the pistol at night so anything after that is a bonus for my money
