Ranges in Philly

[Pierce8468]

Are there any ranges in Philly, that don't make you buy thier ammo? I mean actualy inside the city limits... I love Classic, but sometimes it is just a bit too far, if I am just looking to blow off a few rounds...

Did you try Firing Line down in South Philly?
Ammo supply is running low right now, so they have no problem with you bringing your own.

No, I have never been in there... Can I shoot an ar in there?

Ok, I guess I should have asked what you were shooting.
You're gonna want to go to South Philadelphia Archery and Gun ..

They will let you bring your own ammo, but jump the range price up from $15 to $25..
Hope that helps.

I was there on Saturday and they were out of 9mm. So they let me shoot their .45 GAP. I just had to buy the ammo. That was my first encounter with an ammo shortage.

I was there Saturday too... I was the one with the Glocks and the 7 year old (my son) that was shooting his 'sniper rifle'.

philly gun and arch range is nice. after you shoot you can go and get a steak at pats or geno's.

I'll be there on Thursday. I buy cheaper 9mm that i find elsewhere, and instead buy a couple boxes of .22 (for my other pistol), and that gets me around any fees and its still quite cheap.

Although I still occasionally pay for the odd 9mm box and .45 acp.

Your mileage will vary though if you are a guy off the street vs a member i would imagine.

UGGGHHH... Why do all of the ranges close by make you buy thier ammo, or bump up the range fee? I understand that they are in business to make money, but there are other ways you can do it. Like seeling me a gun that I seen on display while I was there. targets, backerboards, and so on..


How are the ammo prices at this place?
