Place to shoot-Butler County
Was out today with the family and my daughter in law mentioned that she would like to try target shooting..Score one for our side. Can anyone suggest a public range in the Cranberry area? Forget the Wexford State Game Lands--they suck- from what I have read here.

Re: Place to shoot-Butler County
I was at the gamelands about 2 weeks ago. Since moving from my 10 acres, its the only place to shoot until I join a local club.
As for the gamelands...I didn't encounter any issues (shooters or wardens), though I did have to pick up a hunting license at Dicks. Backstops were in half decent shape, all areas are covered and they recently scooped some ground from behind the benches so when it rains, the drainage stays close to the hillside instead of going under the benches.
There are some clubs close to Cranberry...Millvile gun club in Wexford, Northside in Warrendale, Mars gun club in Mars and Rochester gun club just over the border in Beaver (they have a new 300yd range).

Re: Place to shoot-Butler County
I almost shot at the Wexford range a few weeks ago, but when I got a look at it I left. I don't like that all of the firing points (rifle and pistol) are on the same line. It's a long firing line and there were a ton of people there.

Re: Place to shoot-Butler County
The Slippery Rock Sportsmans Club is having an Appleseed this weekend May 5 and 6. It is a great experience for new shooters. Women shoot for $10 for the weekend, Youths unser 21 are only $5. Just bring a rifle (mag fed .22 suggested), ammo and a teachable attitude.
My girls 10 and 9 will be there.

I hope to see you there.
