[amill94]

There is supposed to be a new indoor range going in near Easton. They just got approval recently.

Whats the name of this place? Any more info?

Ill be the first to plug the FREE public game lands range up 100N I gues : )

Seeing as its about 7 minutes from my house and all. You can pretty much find me there every saturday when I get home from college in Philly.

Like the guy above, what's the story with this? I'd love to have an indoor range near Easton...!

SGL 205 -
From I78 take rt 100N about 9 miles and make a right onto SELL Rd. (You'll see a big KOA sign) Make a right on WARDEN rd and follow it to the top of the hill.

Its a nice range unless its really crowded... Avoid holidays

As far as the zoning meeting in January, the place wasn't named yet. I was at the meeting and spoke with the owner. I told him I wanted to be the first to shoot there. The location will be on Hilton St. at the corner of Hilton St. and Belmont St. near the Club Mohican.

I'd love to be second! I live in the Palmer area and an indoor range would be wonderful... any idea what the owner is thinking of in regards to facilities, range length, targets, etc?

Indoor ranges seem hard to come by.. I've been to that one in Whitehall, but the idiot that is up in your face regarding just about anything and has zero people skills completely turned me off. I've heard (according to a thread here) that he's gone, but the damage is done.. I doubt I'll ever step foot in there again.

Do you have to have a membership to shoot at Firing Line, or can I walk in there, drop fifteen bucks and stay for an hour?

An indoor range in Easton would be nice since I work out that way!

I also recall a friend of mine telling me about a park you can visit in my area (Allentown) where you can shoot for free but they have strange rules (like only three rounds allowed in a magazine). Can anyone confirm this?

Rathmec,

Your friend was talking about the State Game Lands that is in NW Lehigh county. Yes, it is a 3-round limit in the magazine per SGL range rules. To get there, take 78 W to 100 North, turn right on Sell Rd, then right on the next road after about 500 feet. It is a dirt road that you have to travel for about a mile or so. You will see the range on your left side.

Enjoy!

Tarpit got me curious about the NW Lehigh SGL so I started Googling.
For the sheer heck of it here's what I found.
It's SGL 205, try dropping these coordinates into a Google Map search. 40.659257,-75.666879 or click the link and zoom in. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...=UTF8&t=h&z=15
