Long Distance Range
Looking for a range that has distance out past 300m. Want to start testing distances past what I normally shoot at. I'm located right outside of Philadelphia so I know traveling will probably be necessary. I make monthly trips out toward Huntingdon to Raystowm Lake so I travel a good bit already. Any ranges in that area or closer that are past 300m and preferably available to the public. Want to avoid private ranges so I don't have to fork out more money to be a member of more ranges.

Re: Long Distance Range
I don't know of any public ranges in PA that are that far. Mifflin county sportsman might be close enough to Huntingdon to work though. It's $80 a year for a membership.

Re: Long Distance Range
Appologies if this is technical hijacking but its a 2017 thread.
Ive wondered how many public ranges in PA are over say 1200Yds?
And.. if i were to turn some farmland into one, what lawyer document do i need to get free users to sign so that i can have a TON of fake, but loyal.. friends?

Re: Long Distance Range
Is a mile far enough? What if I told you I know where there is a local range, very inexpensive, with markings every 528’?
Yes, boys and girls, The Pennsylvania Turnpike has ‘measured mile’ ranges at least once every ten miles. By law, x amount of those miles have to be straight so that during times of war, they can be used as runways.
Yes, I am kidding! Got to throw that in for the ‘d’s In the group. You know, one of them would do it, and then point at this post and claim they thought I was serious.
Once again, IT WAS A JOKE!
