Re: French Creek Park outdoor range
I would not be surprised if your interpretation is correct. There used to be a shotgun range to the left side of the rifle/pistol range but the last time I was there (which has been years) I'm pretty sure that was closed.
ETA: If you go to the satellite view, you can see where the shotgun range used to be and it looks like the pistol backers are on the right side of the range now. Years ago they had them left and right and different distances.Gender confusion is a mental illness

Re: French Creek Park outdoor range
I don't know when the rules changed but I'm glad you can put 6 rounds on both rifle and pistol. It used to be 3 rounds for rifles and 6 for pistols.

Re: French Creek Park outdoor range
Thanks for the link. I was looking for something nicer, and I guess when I got to that second sub-page it looked like some really bad law-book type text and my eyes glazed over.
I guess if it used to be less rounds thats good that its raised to 6. But that seems awful low. I know putting in a mag that holds 25 might be unreasonable on a semi auto, but 6 seems a little low. I just picked up Ruger 10/22 and a bunch of spare mags, and loaded them all up thinking I would go give it a try. Now I need to pull out four bullets from each magazine to be in compliance. For a 22 bolt that seems a little over-protective. Ah well, it isn't terrible. Just annoyed I have to unload magazines I just loaded!

Re: French Creek Park outdoor range
I*m bringing a friend who is new to shooting.
Is it allowed to bring my own mobile freestanding target to set up at an intermediate distance on the pistol range? I*m afraid 25yds is not going to be very enjoyable for him on his first trip.
Obviously we would pack it away after we were done. A picture similar to what I*m considering is attached. 58F8B5F3-3AC4-4DB6-940F-F79D7C267A1F.jpg

Re: French Creek Park outdoor range
Copy/Paste from the Game Commission Range Rules and edited (deleted all but the portion to answer your question).
Link http://www.pacodeandbulletin.gov/Dis....html&d=reduce
§ 135.181. Rifle and handgun ranges.
(b) Prohibited acts. At a rifle and handgun range located on land under Commission ownership, lease or jurisdiction, except when authorized by the appropriate regional director or a designee, it is unlawful to:
(2) Discharge a firearm at any target other than a paper target placed on a permanent target backboard mounted by the Commission. Users are prohibited from intentionally shooting at or damaging the frames or stands constructed by the Commission to mount permanent target backboards.

Re: French Creek Park outdoor range
Anyone been there recently with ammo shortage? is it still the wild west? Need to re-sight a couple rifles and only long ranges around here I'm finding are for club members only.
