I joined WCRC a 3 yr. ago after a bad experience a SGL. I was down range checking targets and an idiot started shooting at the 25 yd range. Havent been close to the place since. I am very confident at WCRC that it is a relatively safe Range. The members are friendly and helpful for the most part. They have a membership dinner in mid March. free to attend and a gun raffle for entertainment. They also have a lot of door prizes. The Walnut Creek Rifle Club is one of Erie county's oldest gun ranges.
It is located at 6574 West Ridge Rd in Fairview, PA between Bear creek and Manchester. The club is private. The outdoor ranges are open to members from 7:00 AM until dusk. The indoor range is open Tuesday nights in the winter months from 6:00PM - 8:00PM.
at The Clubhouse at the Walnut Creek Rifle Club
There are various ranges for Rifles, Shotguns and Pistols.

The WCRC in cooperation with the PA Game Commission presents three hunter education courses annually.

Social Membership applications for the WCRC are available at the clubhouse and on this website.

All applicants are required to be sponsored by an existing member, unless the applicant is an NRA member, or active military.

If an applicant does not have a sponsor, they need to attend a member meeting for an interview. Member meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month at 7PM sharp in the club house.

Yearly dues range from $25 to $40 depending on age.

I moved to Erie county about 3 months ago and I`m ready to submit my application for a CC permit and I`m not sure if I have to take a photo of myself along with my application to the sheriff`s office or not. Any help will be appreciated.

Steelerfan671; No you do not need a picture. You do need $20.00 cash,Three references and ID. The Sheriffs office is in the court house on west 6th.streetYou can save a little time and print a copy of the application from the county Government website.

Heck, you can print it right off this site!

It's actually a LTCF, (License To Carry Firearms) but it's listed as CCW on our own PAFOA!

**dteed4094** · August 8th, 2011, 08:37 AM

It's $26 and you'll need the Names, Address, Phone numbers of your refrences. Your drivers liscence or any official photo ID will do.
