Re: French Creek Park outdoor range
Look into University Rifle Club in Exeter. No sponsor required. The club is located on Schoffers Rd. .
I have shot at state ranges in the Poconos. Most dangerous range I have ever seen. Never been back since.
See above!
Well....you sound shady, but no schmoozing is required at URC.
Thats quite understandable.Aggies Coach Really ??? Take off the tin foil bro.

Re: French Creek Park outdoor range
5/17/23 Visited the range, as its been a while.
The road has new (?)loose crushed stone, the size of golf balls & the washboard surface. Best if driving something with 8" ground clearance & all wheel drive.
There were 3 people shooting. The 100 yard target holders looked ok. The 25 & 50 are badly in need of repair.
Good day to shoot.

Re: French Creek Park outdoor range
***** Signs are posted today that the French Creek SGL#43 range is CLOSING on June 17, 2024. ****
Rumors are the range is closing for renovations - that may take weeks or months. Maybe not reopening until hunting season. No info anywhere online about about when range might reopen. I called the PA Game Commission and no one knew anything.

Re: French Creek Park outdoor range
I remember when the Nockamixon State Game range was "closed for repairs", maybe 20 years ago.
I knew they were full of shit when I stopped by and there were bird houses newly installed all over the range. They never intended to re-open.
Look at a map of the former ranges. They're eliminating all the ranges within driving distance of Philadelphia, NJ or NYC, erasing them from east to west. Thugs showing up and being thuggy, I guess.
I was tired of interacting with the Fish Cops anyway. Wanna-be's not quite good enough to be prison guards. Every encounter I ever had with them had me looking around the corner to see if they came in a short bus.Attorney Phil Kline, AKA gunlawyer001@gmail.com

I experienced that first hand at SGL #43... mostly egregious safety violations.

Re: French Creek Park outdoor range
Does anyone have an idea around which month the range will be reopened? Will they extend how long the paid range permits will be good for to compensate for the time we can't use the range?
