Re: Any info on Mt. Joy Sportsman range upgrades
I, for one, would not renew if this was the case.
I enjoy shooting at trop, but yes it can get pricey.
However, one thing that trop doesn't satisfy is rifle shooting. One of my joys is shooting 1/2" groups with my 223 or 30-06, or challenging my wife with my ar to 200 yard open sight shoots. Almost to the point of enjoying it more than pistol shooting.
To me no only pistol and no rifle is just as bad as only rifle, no pistol.
I think in this day and age with gun fearing people , a range needs to maximize the number of people joining to survive, not compromise. I'd be willing to bet there is more strictly rifle shooters than pistol shooters there.

Anyone go to meeting yesterday, Monday, July 14? If so I know many of us would appreciate report. I had planned to go, but did not with all the rain.

Re: Any info on Mt. Joy Sportsman range upgrades
I posted a comment on their Facebook page concerning the reports here that the new range is not going to be built now. That posting seems to have be deleted without any comment.

Re: Any info on Mt. Joy Sportsman range upgrades
All I have heard is that there have been challenges since the barn incident. It was discussed briefly at a recent meeting over at my club. Seems we are looking at different options to prevent the same thing. Not so much the hitting of the barn but the rapid fire and less than intelligent guests who are non members as well as the members who allow them to be idiots. I have heard that Mt Joy may not be in the best position to stick around. Mind you that's more gossip than anything but there's a real chance mt joy will either change dramatically or cease to be.

Re: Any info on Mt. Joy Sportsman range upgrades
I liked the Mt Joy club when I shot in the William Penn league many years ago
I’m sorry it’s going down hill

Re: Any info on Mt. Joy Sportsman range upgrades
I just drove by at lunch today and some work is being done around the existing dirt berms. Looks like additional dirt has been placed on top of the piles. The timbers on each side of the berms have been removed for now, maybe to be replaced.
Since they cashed my check for the annual renewal, it is nice something may be happening.
Nothing happening around the area of the proposed new pistol range.

Re: Any info on Mt. Joy Sportsman range upgrades
What exactly happened? A neighbor's barn was hit?
Yes, if they're planning upgrades, members need to support them and keep them open until they're done or fully able to do these. If they take a year off until it's done, they may not have a place to go back to.
