    Default Isolated outdoor places to shoot/plink.

    Can anyone tell me of any places in Bucks, Berks of Philadelphia counties, where you can go outdoors to an isolated place in the woods/wilderness and shoot targets?

    They're a nice range, to be sure, but still have all the usual range rules. No real chance of shooting with movement, or any kind of real-world drills.

    what about "rapid fire" "double-taps" is that allowed at these ranges?

    The club I belong to is policed by YOU, and that is about it,
    There is a trap range
    15/25/50/75 and 100 yard ranges, All outdoors, it is a nice place
    Last time I was there I ran 8 mags of 20 rounds through my AK to see what it would do, It smoked a bunch, But noone else stopped by to see what I was doing, I forgot to mention, I ran them as quick as I could pull the trigger and swap mags,,,, I am sure that bump fire could get you in trouble, But a great club all the same,
    It is NOT a public range
    75. a year to become a member and must belong to NRA
    PM me for more details
    Is is 1 hr from city hall going west.

    I wonder - does Wicens let you bring any metal targets - steel plates?

    I get a lot more enjoyment shooting at something that reacts (either audibly or visually). I would gladly purchase my own setup and bring it along to use. I would think there is little chance of ricochet unless I hit the actual support piece holding the thing together.

    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I just read one of your old posts where you say the club you belong too permits plinking and is about one hour west of Philly.
    Can you give me any further info?
