300+ Yard Rifle within 1.5 hours of Newtown area?
Anyone know of a range I can shoot at or past 300 yards? I would prefer to have it be a range where I wouldn't have to pay annual fees for. Just a place to shoot my bolt gun every few weeks.
Anything within 1.5 hours of the Newtown area?NRA Certified Pistol Instructor

it would probably be a private range if you did find one.

New Holland -- http://www.nhrpc.org/ -- is almost all highway from you and definitely less than 90 minutes.
I think their membership fees are not high. Think big picture -- you're going to spend way more on gas than membership dues.
Plus they have some good rifle classes, courtesy of Black Hat Training:

...they do carbine classes and also precision shooting classes. I can vouch for both.
IMO, it's usually better to get affiliated with a range.

There is a range just outside of Jim Thorpe. It is on state game lands. Take 209 to 93 north. It is on the left as you go up the big hill! I think they have a 300 yd range. you can actually see it on google maps! It would be about 1.5 hours, maybe a little longer.
