alburtis won't let me in!!!

[etep513]

A few weeks ago I went to alburtis rod and gun club to join. The person there said that she was jus hired a few days ago and that she was new to the place. She gave me the form to fill out and said that it cost $40. I filled it out and paid her the $40. She said that I could go shooting at the range right away. Since this was my first time, I decided to stay for only 1/2 hour. I shot at some paper targets at the rifle range and then went home. About a week and a half later I got a $40 refund and a letter from their financial treasurer saying that since they have a bar on club grounds, I can't join until I'm 21. I called them and I told them that I only wanted to use their range and that I wasn't interested in their booze. But the guy over the phone said that it's a liquor control board rule. So what now? What shooting ranges don't have bars? There is not way that I'm going to shoot under my father's membership for 3 years. What shooting ranges are my other options? I know that you guys recommended some before, but which ones do not have bars? I can't join something that is too far away. I need something that is fairly close to Emmaus so that I can go once a week. What are your suggestions?

Isn't there anything closer? There must be a closer shooting range without bars around here somewhere.

Topton is not much further than Alburtis. I just sent in my application, so I don't know what the age to join is. I would say call to find out. http://www.toptonfga.org/index.html

But that depends on where you live. I did a mapquest search and its a bit far to go to every weekend. About 25 minutes worth of driving one way. I have to many other obligations to spend almost an hour behind the wheel.

Emmaus is right by Allentown. Do you know if Unami also has a bar where people can get booze?

Unami definetly has a bar. A co-worker of mine is a Unami drunkard (always there drinking, and drunk).

I know where Emmaus is, its not that far from me. Thats why I suggested this range. depending where you live in Emmaus, its probably about a 10-15minute ride. I have never been to Unami.
