Tobyhanna SGL Range Reports

[kel ruger man]

was there yesterday around 2, pretty crowded for a weekday, doesnt anybody work? pistol side was full, rifle side had some people.

why work when the government feeds you and pays you to sit.
discussion for another topic, in all reality.
i work saturdays so i get mondays off, but thanks to monroe's taxes, soon i'll be working on my days off.

it's entirely possible that the people are retired or night shifters or even on a day off.
mornings tend to be the least crowded, leave home so you arrive no later than 9:30am, in my experience, it's typically empty till around then.

its usually not bad during the week. i guess i will be back tomorrow

Just got home from the SGL range, me and the wife were shooting my EAA witness,the 94 taurus .22LR, her kel-tec P32,and her S&W bodyguard .38, only 2 other shooters on the pistol range ( couple of nice guys) and one guy on the 100 yd. rifle range,nice weather,no asshats, great time!

Anyone from PAFOA at the sgl range between 5 and 6 today? thursday..

I was there today at about 10 am. Pistol side was full, so I went over to the rifle side and sighted in the M&P15-22. Was shooting high and right out of the box, so it took a while to get it dialed in. Went over to the pistol side when it thinned out and had a good time with the XDs. First box of 9mm went good, second box had primers set too deep and they wouldn't go off. Should have brought more good ammo! A nice guy who was there shooting let me try his .500 S&W revolver. What a hand cannon! Don't know if I hit my target but it was fun to try one. Great weather and all nice folks.

Don't see why not...as long as it's not full auto and doesn't have more than 3 rounds in it at one time.

Let me know when you go so I can be sure NOT to be there LOL! Trying to save my hearing.

Pistol side was packed today from 1 til I left around 3pm. Plenty of 100y benches open all day.

It was a shame to see folks shooting 50rds through scoped centerfires at 50y while parents with kids are waiting to uncase the chipmunk. IMHO, get it on paper and move over to the 100y line.

Just curious....... does anyone have their shooting permits or hunting license displayed?

Not that I noticed. IMHO, that regulation, unless there is enforcement, is like the lock on a suitcase- it only keeps honest folk out.
