Burma Range

My bro-in-law and I hit the Burma on Saturday around 9:30ish. Wasn't to bad. There was a bench open and we stayed for abound an hour. Anyone else there at the same time?

The first rule of Burma Rd is, we don't talk about .......................

I've had too many close shaves there so I won't go back.

What exactly is it?

What exactly is it?

It's on Burma Road, about 4 miles east of St. Clair, PA.

The place is dangerous. If you get there right after sunrise, you're fine for about 90 minute before the goofs show up. The Burma attracts people who can't follow basic safety rules or the rules of being a decent person. Expect to get muzzle swept, for people to fire when you're forward of the firing line, and at least one scrapper to try and run down range and collect all the metal objects you're shooting at.

You're really not missing much up there.

That was my first trip up there in a while. As I stated, there were a few people there when I arrived. Everyone was respectful and safety conscious. If someone had to check a target, they would wait until all were done firing, and announce they were going down range. The only thing I didn't like was all the glass. It appears people shoot a lot of bottles up there. It was everywhere. It's not a place to be wearing soft soled shoes.

Thanks for the warning.I know of another place I'll go to.There was a place on a dirt road past the Good Intent Fire Co.in Lewellyn,but a cop came(he was real cool though,friendly)and told us no one's allowed to shoot there anymore.The whole darn place out there's all posted now.I had a camp not far from the RR tracks,now that's all posted,and all the back roads have been blocked off.It sure wasn't that way when me and my buddies in the 70's road around all night in our 4x4's.

Shodan, you are at least 250 miles from 'the place we do not speak of' . Are you sure you are talking about the same 'place we don't speak about'? I can send you GPS coordinates if you are unsure. Of course, those coordinates would be to a place that does not exist, and even if it did, it wouldn't show up on a map, because even map-pukes know WE DON'T TALK ABOUT ..... ....!

I was there, ONCE.
Unpleasant experience.

At least I got the joke.
