No state range near Nockamixon that I'm aware of. Here's a public outdoor range that's not too far. I've never shot there so can't give a review though it's talked about on these pages and I think a member here is a RSO.

Thers also a couple of indoor ranges in the general area. Classic Pistol and Target World in Chalfont.

There used to be a state range some years ago...when did that go away? I lived just below Dublin, and spent many afternoons there. About 3 miles off 313, on thee left side...if you didnt know where it was, you'd miss it.
Shame its gone...or is it gone?
DCNR isn't showing it on their web site...

Closed after the Fort Dix 5 incident. I think

Oh, thanks. good to know. I still have family down that way. Don't need to shoot when I'm down there, but CP in Southampton and Target World in Chalfont were other hang outs in the day.
Now, my back yard is sufficient...LOL!
Oh, the park map is here...

Personally I despise Wecens range.

I have been there twice and each time their ROs have been so overbearing and pushy as to take every bit of fun out of a shooting day.
It wasn't like there was some undisciplined or unsafe shooter on the line. They were just on a major power trip and were busting balls just for the hell of it.

If I visited that area, even on a semi regular basis I would look at joining Bucks Country Fish and Game. I don't think their membership is all that expensive and they have decent ranges.
