What's up with the range at Scotia

[vmax82]

I haven't heard anyone on here talking about Scotia. Is it still open? Are as many people using it now that you have to have a license? What's the road like? This was always talked about before they made you pay to use the range.

I stopped going there once they started with the fee crap. I figured, the fee, combined with the STUPID 3-rnd/6-rnd rule and other rules made it no longer worthwhile.
Instead, I'm joining a gun club which costs less, is closer to my house, doesn't have the dumb rules, and goes out to 300 yds.

I have not been there in years. What does it cost to use the range? I have a hunting license.

If you have a hunting license, you're good to go. I don't hunt anymore, so I'd still either have to get a license, or buy a special permit.

I was there a few weeks ago. They have modified hours, can't remember them off the top of my head, the road still has its pot-hole colonies spread through out. Still never enough backers on the Auxiliary ranges out side the fence. Still a lot of dumb/unsafe people us it.

I thought you meant Sciota, which is close to me in Monroe county, then realized it is in Centre county with a slightly different spelling. Whoops!

It's $30 for a year long range permit. I have been to 2 of ranges in the northeast. I have been there on about a monthly basis and have not seen anyone practicing for Hollywood movie roles, although I have heard some stories, not to mention the Tobyhanna Fort Dix Terror plot, if I may call it that. That may have been the reason for the start of the range permits.

Just a minor case of lisdexia.

Which club are you joining? I'm in Boalsburg, and still looking for a place to shoot other than Scotia (OSC was full, last I checked).

Liberty Twp Sportsman's Club, about a mile or two past the causeway in Howard.

OSC will rake you over the coals with dues... I've looked at joining Liberty Twp too but I have yet to hear about weather I would be allowed to shoot my MG down there. At this point that is kind my deal breaker, if I can't shoot that I won't join.

As far as Scotia. I haven't been there much since they started the range pass bullshit as I refuse to get one as long as they have the retarded 3rd/6rd rule. oh and they forbid MG's as well...
