Monthly PAFOA Schmooze and Nosh for NEPA

[MikePrekopa]

I don't know that is why I am asking.

I found some newspaper articles online about it and they say 10 and 25, with 50 and 100 for rifle.

I'm 99% sure the new range is 127. I know somewhere on the SGL website theres a list of the ranges and yardages.

SGL 127 has been permanently shut down, they built a new one in tobyhanna, which is MUCH easier to gain access to. That is the one we will be going to, and I don't know the number of it.

Also, using the pioneer diner might as our nom nom place might not work out, depending on how many members sign up to come. I don't think we can fit 30 people in there like we did at Billys, unless everyone sits in booths, with small groups. Which kind of defeats the purpose of a meet and greet. Until then, it still stands as the designated eatery.

The Gouldsboro range on SGL 127 has been shut down. The new range off of the Tobyhanna exit is also on SGL 127, just further south. SGL 127 is huge!

I realize that it may not be as quickly accessible to the Tobyhanna range but, Billy's Pocono Diner met most of the requirements that we would have excluding the direct accessibility to the range.

A. The food was good.
B. They had plenty of space.
C. They apparently didn't have any issues w/ any of the members OCing.
D. Located approx. mid-way between Scranton and Lehigh Valley.
But, most importantly,
E. They had really good blueberry pancakes!

I think Headcase may have mentioned this in the other thread. After further consideration, I second the motion. Primarily due to B and C above.

Just throwing that out there. I'll go whereever the mood moves us as long as I'm available to do so.

I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. I can't wait till I get a pistol, and the weather warms up, to enjoy the shooting part too. :P I hope we can get a decent sized group that will be able to attend all of em'.

Well - two speaking up and (more importantly) no one opposing is good enough to change the location.

I, personally, have no problem with 'driving all over the place' (within reason, of course), but if the distances (such as between schmoozing and noshin, as well as getting supplies from, say, a Wally World) matter to anyone - speak up people.

Any reasonable changes will be considered.

The only reason Mt Pocono was chosen in the first place is how close everything was (food, supplies and range). While Billy's might be right off the interstate also and 'along the way' for some - it's up to a dozen miles or so past the range for others (that's about 25 miles - round trip - extra for some).

I am not very familiar with eateries in the area, but I must note that the Perkins can not take a group much larger than what we had last time, so if we want more people we will have to change location from there.
