    Default Looking for a rifle range beyond 200 yds

    I live in Sq.Hill/Greenfield area and had a membership at Clairton Sportsmen's Club. The club is fine, but the rifle range is 200 yards, and this is not enough any more for me. Is there 1000 or 600 yard range in Allegheny county? I know there is 600 yard range in Macdonald, Washington county, but this is little too far and i think they require NRA membership, which I do not have. Thank you.

    Pitcairn Monroeville Sportsmans Club has a 300 Yard range. There is a current proposal to build a 600 Yard range, too.

    Great club, super facilities. I can highly recommend it.

    PMSC has 300, join and ask about 600. And join the damned NRA.

    We use big mirrors at our range to double the 200 yard range, but the mirrors keep breaking.

    I understand a gun club in Greensburg has a 500. PMSC has a 300 (as others have said). As for the PMSC 600, it maybe up to a year before it will be available to shoot (if we can get the dam thing approved).

    Heard there might be a problem getting it approved. I hope it gets passed.
