    Default Can't I just target shoot in the woods?

    Cant find a local gun club thats accepting new members. And I was wondering IF a suitable backer was found, would it be legal in PA to just go shooting in the woods?

    Call the townsip and see if it's legal. Mostly through PA it's up to the township. I shoot in my backyard. Just make sure your bullets have something to embed in behind the target.

    Unless it's your woods.......the answer is no.

    Haha I didn't even notice that he neglected to say that. My post was based on the fact that it's your property

    No, unless the gamelands have a range. Your limited to your property has long as there's no ordience by the township

    Yikes!

    If you're shooting on game lands on Sunday you're hunting illegally. Doesn't matter what you're shooting at.

    Cant find the app. (At the door?) Anyway I'd like to try the range out before I blow 85 bucks on a membership. Do you think they are friendly enough there to allow someone to "Try before they buy?"
