Re: Target shooting on state game lands
It is located in tobyhanna. take route 380 to the tobyhanna exit,, which is exit 8 or 9 I believe,. it will say "tobyhanna exit" either way, just keep an eye out. Then once you get to the end of the off ramp, take a left over the bridge, it's about 1 mile or so on the right hand side. Dirt road, by some municipal buildings.

Re: Target shooting on state game lands
(2) The use of rifle, pistol or archery ranges owned, leased or maintained by a State or Federal military or police organization or by any regularly organized rifle, pistol, shotgun or archery range, shooting association or club while shooting at a regularly established and properly safeguarded range or to any public shooting exhibition properly safeguarded and conducted under the direction of any organization for the promotion of marksmanship.
For the purpose of this thread, this section refers to the SGL Ranges, meaning you can only recreationally shoot at these ranges.
(4) Shooting at a properly constructed target or mark or a dead tree protected by a natural or artificial barrier so that the ball, bullet or arrow cannot travel more than 15 yards beyond the target aimed at, after making due allowance for deflection in any direction not to exceed an angle of 45 degrees. Target shooting shall only be lawful when it is done:
(i) Upon property owned by the shooter or by a guest of the property owner.
(ii) Within 200 yards of the camp or other headquarters where the person shooting is quartered or is an invited guest or visitor.
This refers to private property, not SGL's.
So to answer the OP's question, no........you cannot shoot "anywhere" on SGL's.Last edited by Steve in PA; April 8th, 2010 at 01:22 AM.

Re: Target shooting on state game lands
Don't you love how clear-cut, concise, and specific the PA laws are?

Re: Target shooting on state game lands
There is a WCO that frequents this board, trust me........you cannot set up a target on SGL and start firing away.
