Anyplace in south central PA I can shoot my shotgun for familiarization?
Bought my first shotgun, a Stevens 320.
I just want to fire a couple of boxes and place it under my bed.
So I don't want to join another club a single range session.
The public range in Michaux State Forest doesn't allow shotguns.
The private ranges I found not requiring memberships either want only slugs or at least a 22" barrel.
Gettysburg area.

State game range. It's $36/yr, dawn until dusk, come and go as you please.

Don't know about Gettysburg, but in Lancaster, there's the Sportsman Shop in Blue Ball, indoor range, Moor's Outdoors in Willow Street, indoor range, and Trop's Gun Shop near Etown, I have not been there since the moved from their original location. I know that both the Sportsman Shop and Moor's are very nice people and nice ranges.
Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.

Indoor ranges that permit shotguns?
Wow. I didn't think that was a possibility and didn't look for such.
thanks.

Sportsman's Shop:
Are shotguns permitted?
Yes, shotguns are permitted with slugs only. Shotguns must be shot at a minimum distance of 20 yards.

Look for a local range that has public trap shoots. Your score won't matter.

Club dues are often about the same as SGL fees and sometimes have other benefits. For what it's worth
