So Monroe County is in yellow phase now... is the SGL 127 range open?

[TheAlchemist]

My roommate is 21 and has never fired a gun before. Crazy, I know, but he expressed an interest in learning to shoot a couple of months ago. However, public ranges were closed due to the lockdown. As far as I know, public ranges are open in all yellow phase counties, but I want to make absolutely sure before we go and start shooting tomorrow or Tuesday. Can anyone confirm?

MORE REGION OFFICES AND SHOOTING RANGES REOPENING IN YELLOW PHASE-- The Pennsylvania Game Commission reopened shooting ranges on additional state game lands in counties upgraded to the yellow phase today. Within those counties, any rifle, shotgun, pistol and archery ranges on state game lands have been reopened and regular hours of operation have resumed. Read full news release ** https://bit.ly/3gCheQH.

Those counties include: Dauphin, Franklin, Huntingdon, Lebanon, Luzerne, Monroe, Pike and Schuylkill.

The latest upgrades also will reopen to the public the Game Commission*s Southcentral and Northeast Region Offices, which will resume regular lobby hours beginning June 1. Where counties remain in the red phase, and where stay-at-home orders remain in place and large gatherings are prohibited, shooting ranges on state game lands remain closed.

That's stupid for a new shooter unless you plan on working him up to it with smaller stuff first.

Duh. I didn't think I'd have to spell that out.

Well turns out we won't be going till next week. He really wants to get a .40 in the mix and that ammo won't arrive till Monday or Tuesday next week.
