Noob friendly range?
Was wondering which ranges in the area I could check out that I would be able to learn to shoot at? Finally bought my first gun and looking for a place to shoot, only thing I've ever shot close to this was BB guns when I was younger but I'm also well informed on firearm safety and such. So i guess I'm really just looking for a place with nice people that I could learn from and not have everyone hate me because I'm new

Yep, I as well highly reccomend MASA (Muhlenberg). The club Secretary (Mragaret) is a certified instructor....very nice woman to learn from!
The dues are only $10 a year for Muhlenberg residents and $15 for everyone else.
It's a great range! I've met some very, very freindly people there and usually spend more time talking than shooting....and I'm a pretty quite & reserved person that usually keeps to myself!
One afternoon we even spend time swapping toys.....keep in mind we were all complete strangers!
If (when) you join, shoot me an email.....I'd be happy to go along with you & bring some additional toys!

Re: Noob friendly range?
here is the link to the MASA website. Click on membership, then on application form. Print one off and send it in with a check for your dues. You will then need to attend an orientation.
www.muhlshooting.org
It is very newbee friendly. You will meet a lot of nice folk there.

Re: Noob friendly range?
Another good idea, if you're new to shooting, is to take a class like the NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course. You can search for classes here. The nearest one to Hershey seems to be on Friday, March 12, 2010 at the Mill Creek Sportsmans Club in Lancaster. More information here.
You should expect a good class, patient, friendly instructors, safety instruction and some enjoyable range time. It'll really build your confidence.
