Need a 50yd indoor range ANYWHERE near pittsburgh

**Teknik** · February 20th, 2007, 01:49 PM

We have about 4 people that need to qualify for the NRA distinguished expert status, and we would like to do it indoors if possible. Does anyone know of a range that can fit this? When i say anywhere, i mean anywhere. Allegheny county, washington, westmoreland, whatever.

50 YARDS is a loooong way, what are they qualifying as? probably the longest indoor range i have seen is Anthony's near century 3 mall http://www.anthonyarms.com/range.html

You realize that is 1/2 a football field? I have heard of 25 Yard indoor, 25 Meter indoor... But 50 yards takes one heck of a building, My guess is if one existed, you wouldnt have to ask about it, every one and his mother would know about it.

If Im not wrong, Anthony is about 25M I know a few NRA people, and I cant say that I remember any having to Qualify at 50 Yards unless it was rifle. And nto many indoor ranges will allow rifles in them. If its an absolute need, there is one in Niagara...

Niagara Gun Range, Western New York's First and only Indoor 50 ...

Other then that, here is the listing of all PA ranges.

It is actually for a small calibur center fire rifle qualifications. And it has to be shot at 50 yards. I just called anthony arms, and you're right, they are a 25 yd indoor range.

I see there is supposed to be a 50yd range on cambells run road, however their phone has been disconnected. So i'm going to assume they're not there anymore.

Was called Bullseye, and they had no where near 50 yards, at most 25... Heck their parking was not 50 yards large!

Thanks anyway.

Just do it outdoors ya pansies!

Just kidding.
Sorry that I have no suggestions.

Seems to me that someone would have posted the info you seek if such a facility existed near Pittsburgh. 50 yards does seem unusual for an indoor range as most (not all) indoor ranges are used for pistol shooting.

Good luck to you.
