Re: 500 meter ranges near Lehigh Valley?
Water and Wings in Quakertown / East Greenville used to have a 500-yd range (so you'll be 46.8 yards short of the 500 meters you're looking for). There are internet rumors that they've closed for lack of funds, though. I can only suggest that you call to see what's happening.

When you are called a racist, it just means you won an argument with an Obama supporter.

State game lands range 141 up in Jim Thorpe has 300yrds. I don't think there are any 500yrds in the area.

It's not a rumor. I've talked with them. They have been closed for a few years.
They still do the dog training/hunting, but that's at a different place from the range. The range was on farmland just outside East Greenville.Last edited by tlgpa; April 21st, 2010 at 09:25 PM.

Water and Wings is closed, has been for several years now.
The closest 500 yard range I know of to you is probably New Holland and that requires a membership or for you to have a member present with you while you're shooting.'The trouble with our liberal friends are not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.'

Yeah, they had shut down prior to my leaving for the sandbox in 2007 so I want to say some time in 2006 is when they closed. I'd heard they opened back up for a few weeks and then closed again but not sure how true that is. I volunteered there as the RSO in the 2003 - 2005 time frame.
