Does anyone know of any airgun ranges in SE PA area, other than Delaware County Field & Stream?

I've never heard of a specific range just for airguns. I shoot mine at my gun club or in my basement.

If you have space inside, consider making yourself a bullet trap from duck seal at Lowes or other big box store.

Or better yet, get some rubber mulch and put them inside of a cardboard box. I use rubber mulch in my landscaping and the rubber mulch works very well. It's inexpensive and it will stop pellets from going through.

My bullet trap is about 16" long and it's not too heavy once it's filled with rubber mulch.

Del County Field & Stream has 4 specific, dedicated air gun ranges: Air Pistol Range, Air Rifle Range, Air Gun Field Target Range, Air Rifle Silhouette Range... they also host air gun specific shooting events.

I wish I lived closer (and out of the city), so that I could legally own such things and be a regular at such a range.
Being inside Phila city boundaries, I just have to settle for my AR-15 - no pesky pellets allowed here.

A friend who lives in montco asked, and they were hoping there was something similar that was a little further north or closer to them...

That's cool...my wife works in DE Co. I doubt I'd join since it's a bit far for me to want to drive all the time for competition.

My daughter and I started shooting airguns lately. PCPs are expensive to start, but a lot of fun. Pellets/bullets can be casted, so airguns are cheap once you buy the equipment.

Too bad you live in Philadelphia. I'd never want to live there for many reasons.
