Re: Tobyhanna SGL Range Question ?
As far as I'm aware the answer is no. But I may or may not have set uP a spinner for my .22 at 100 yards before. Also all the shotgun shells I can find.
But short answer I believe is no. It's not an approved paper target o. The provided backstop hanger.Guns don't kill people, it's mostly the bullets.

Re: Tobyhanna SGL Range Question ?
I have to concur with rovert97. I don't recall the exact language, but shooting from the established shooting positions at paper targets were pretty clearly defined.

Re: Tobyhanna SGL Range Question ?
I cam live with most of their rules. But there is one that bugs me. "posses a firearm with more than 3 rounds in it"
I'm sorry but I don't trust people there so I carry cc or OC with my fully loaded pistol and I dare them to give me shit about it.Guns don't kill people, it's mostly the bullets.

Re: Tobyhanna SGL Range Question ?
they can't really restrict carry at that sort of range, can they? thought it had something to do with some big words and other laws that would conflict with a regulation like that.

Re: Tobyhanna SGL Range Question ?
You are not supposed to have a live weapon ahead of the firing line. Im sorry but if Im by myself and have 4 grand plus of weapons on a bench and need to check my target I'm not leaving them there without some sort of deterrent. I tend to open carry my glock 20 when at a rifle bench.
