The Wonderful Route 6 Range - Revisited
Here we go again... Note the shotgun hulls by the targets. Wonder how they got there....

Re: The Wonderful Route 6 Range - Revisited
Still hasn't been fixed. Was up there today with the Mosin. I did manage to meet one of the maintenance guys He said if anyone sees someone doing something stupid (shooting up the stands, using shot-shells, etc) call this number 570-675-1143. It's the PGC office in Dallas, Pa. They will send the PSP over to chase the idiots out. If possible get a license plate number if they leave and they will send a summons in the mail. Cell phone pics are helpful also.

Re: The Wonderful Route 6 Range - Revisited
Great info, but does the PGC office in Dallas own some type of magical supersonic transportation to get there with any speed to actually catch anyone?
Here is my suggested solution...
1) More frequent patrols. It seems as if the PGC is always at the range in Tobyhanna. There seems to be much less damage there. Additionally, Tobyhanna has a huge number of young, non-homegrown Pennsylvanians (if you get my drift - while not blaming any subgroup of shooters, I doubt the damage at the Route 6 range is caused by people who have ever hunted in PA with their grandfather ).
2) The PGC should build benches at the pistol range. The current range set-up is something out of the "finding a place in stripping with a good backstop for shooting" mentality. The set up is such that shooters can walk right up on the targets.
3) Get rid of the particle board...just use the pleather/vinyl to hand targets. I think pellet holes in this medium are less impressive than blowing holes in wood. After all, I doubt those who are damaging the range are into actually practicing with their firearms...more likely "impressed" with seeing splinters fly.
Just my thoughts.

Re: The Wonderful Route 6 Range - Revisited
