    Default sighting in my guns

    Does anyone know of a place where I can sight in my Revolvers? I've called what seems to be every club (rod and gun), and even the game commission with no luck. the gun clubs don't answer the phone, and the pa game commission has no clue where I can go. When I was younger we just brought our guns into the woods and shot, now I'm not sure what is acceptable. Any suggestions would be apprieciated...

    This would be the area around Warren, Pa.
    Thanks... Bob

    alot of state game lands have designated ranges that you can use - just find a local one
    If you're not outraged & disgusted, you are simply not paying atttention

    Saint Game Lands NO 178 ?

    Just type that in google maps.

    You live in Warren Co. and you can't find a place to shoot? Drive out in the boonies, set-up, shoot,clean up your mess and go back home. If you look around you can find some pretty isolated spots. Back in the hills, down in a hollow, chances are nobody will even hear you. Big pine trees muffle sound real good.

    I apprieciate the response to my post, thank you... But I am trying to find a local place to shoot, and a legal place also. there are no public ranges in my area, unless i want to travel 100 miles or so. I guess what I was looking for would be if anyone knew of anyone in the Warren, pa. area that has some land and allows people (for a price or not) to target shoot on it.
    Thanks... Bob

    Broken Straw Rod & Gun Club in Mead Run PA. $20 bucks a year.
    Pick up a membership at Bowers in Youngsville. You'll probably be shooting by
    yourself.

    The Gun Guy's website has a range listing for every state, this should get you to Pa.


    http://130.94.182.159/rangespa.htm

    hope it helps,
