State Laws to be aware of: Check State Laws. www.attorneygeneral.gov

Misc: This event location can offer actual distance shooting out to 1000 yards, bring the 22 for the bulk of the instruction and the centerfire for some actual distance shooting if skills permit.

This is a very nice range, the "golf course" quality location that every community should have. Come on out and experience a great range, some quality rifle marksmanship instruction and American Heritage!

44 of the 60 spot available are filled as of this am. If you want to attend this event, register now.

If this shoot does sell out, there are many shoots scheduled in nearby states. Throop New York, west of Syracuse has a April 18th and 19th shoot. Ohio also has many that weekend, though some are sold out.

There are apox. 50 Appleseed shoots set for Patriots Day weekend all over the country. That works out to about 3000 available spots for shooters, or a 2 1/2 mile long firing line.

3000 Patriots. Remembering the men and woman that gave us this great American experiment. Remembering very clearly the responsibilities the Founders laid out for us.

3000 Patriots. A nationwide simultaneous volley of freedom.

See the schedule here...

B964 is right. If you haven't been there before, Reade isn't what you'd call an easy place to find. Once you get there, its an excellent range, and one thing is for sure, we'll get lots of practice doping for wind. The wind up there never seems to stop.

If you plug these coordinates into Google Maps, they'll get you to the gate.

40.7298, -78.4287

See you there!
