Moving to Cranberry Twp

[RufusG]

I'm moving back to PA soon and interested in finding places to shoot convenient to Cranberry Twp. Looking for ranges, clubs, and public land for small game hunting. Thanks.

XD45, Thanks for the invite. I will take you up on that. Looks like a very nice place. I'm thinking I will be moving my stuff in mid-August; I'm already here personally most of the time.

Just down the road a ways is Ambridge Sportsman's and across the river (30 min from Cranberry) is Alliquipa bucktails.
There are a few to the north of Cranberry also, but I have only heard of them, not seen them.

Thanks. I will look into those as well.

State Gameland 203 is right off of Rt910 in Wexford...they have a pretty nice public rifle/pistol range there as well.

We were doing our shotgunning at Castlewood...just east of New Castle on Rt 422...we have since discovered Lawrence County Sportsmans Club...just west of New Castle. We had absolutely no complaints about Castlewood but LCSA has 3 skeet fields as opposed to Castlewoods single skeet/trap combo range. Both places are open to the public (LCSA on Sat and Sun, Castlewood Sun. only)...and both will treat you right.

I too am relatively new - moved to Zelienople this time last year, but my cousin (BearTitan) recently got me hooked on guns. I just purchased my first gun (9mm Beretta 92fs) about a month ago. Right now, I shoot every Thursday with my Cuz at SCMP, but that's 45 miles and 50 minutes away. I don't drive a frickin' Prius so it's getting a little expensive to fill the tank. I'm looking to join a club in the area, but my primary focus at this point is LEARNING. I need a club with members that can answer stupid questions every once in a while. Also, I've heard (but can not confirm) that some of the clubs around here are a little "lame". Since all I have (right now) is my trusty Beretta, I am mostly interested in a good pistol range. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

Just a note for this thread, I'm probably not going to reup my membership to NSSA not 100% positive but I'm thinking of dropping NSSA if I am not paid by Oct. 1st, I loose my "member in good standing" and can no longer sign for you, so your probably going to need to be voted in in Septembers meeting so if your looking to join your gonna want to talk to me soon

Rochester Sportsmen's Club is on route 989, north and west of Cranberry Twp. We're working on a really nice set of rifle/handgun ranges, along with having shotgun and archery areas.

What I like about this range is that they have the pistol range at a depth of about 20-25 feet. I doubt I could hit the broad side of a barn much further than that. Doubt that I would draw any further away from that, anyway.
