Coraopolis Sportsmen's Association
does anyone here belong to the coraopolis sportsmen's association?
i heard they had an indoor pistol range that is open 24hrs to members...which got me all excited...but then i heard they don't allow metal jacketed ammo...which got me unexcited cause shooting unjacketed lead bullets through glocks is supposedly not good for them (due to the hexagonal barrel).
anybody a member? if so, is it true that you cannot use jacketed bullets in the indoor range? (i can understand why you might not be allowed to...not complaining, just asking.)
i've tried stopping out there a couple of times, but there has never been anyone "official" around.
thanks.

(or, does anyone know of any other pistol ranges that are open late at night around pittsburgh?)

A little off of the subject but I live 3 miles away from the coraopolis range and never once stoped in to check it out.

i tried to look it up on the web, but couldn't find a whole lot of info other than it is in the 412 area code, so it can't be too far away.

yeah, if you could post or PM me directions, that would be great.
i'm trying to find a good club to join (that isn't quite as far of a drive as greater pittsburgh gun club). i'd like to find one with a range i can use late at night as that is when i usually actually have time to shoot. even if they don't have that, though, i am still interested in checking it out.
i do most of my shooting at the game commission range off of route 910...but you can't practice drawing and shooting, or moving and shooting, the shortest targets are about 12 yards, it gets crowded as new york city on weekends, etc.
thanks!

Forest grove
deepcharge41,
It looks like Forest Grove is fairly close to Coraopolis range.
I took a John Farnam class there in 02.
Part of the Montour (or another)trail goes through their property.
I don.t think you can shoot steel there.
I'll try to get some info on forest grove and post it.

Re: Forest Grove location
I'm not sure about the location of the off ramp from 79 south but Forest Grove Road is adjacent to the 79 south entrance ramp and goes uphill parallel tp 79 southbound.
That being said,follow FG road to Ewings mill rd and make a right hand turn.
It looks to me like you will pass 4 roads on the left side of Ewings Mill. The 5th left turn is Hickman rd. Make the left up Hickman (slowly, as the guy living in the house on the right will make a fuss if you speed) and you will come out at the sportsmans club.
Frank Manslow is listed as the contact person at 412-269-0942
I google mapped this.
Forest Grove Sportsman's Assoc.
Hickman Rd. Coraopolis Pa
I may give him a call myself to see about membership.
