Whats the closest 500 meter range to the lehigh valley?
Water and Wings in Quakertown / East Greenville used to have a 500-yd range (so you'll be 46.8 yards short of the 500 meters you're looking for). There are internet rumors that they've closed for lack of funds, though. I can only suggest that you call to see what's happening.
I have been looking for that place for a few weeks... I haven't been able to find anyone who has been there or knows anything about it.Quote:

It's not a rumor. I've talked with them. They have been closed for a few years.Quote:

The closest 500 yard range I know of to you is probably New Holland and that requires a membership or for you to have a member present with you while you're shooting.
