Member Link Up pittsburgh/western PA?

[jayd4wg]

where do folks shoot around here now that Greater Pitt is closed up again? Wexford GL is only 100 yards and though it's close, i grow tired of the Id10t's out there. went out today (just under 30 degrees and there was a gaggle of "pants on the ground's" waving a glock around. Packed back up and bounced before I even fired a round.

Re: pittsburgh/western PA?

My range only goes to 200. Anything farther and I'm out in the farmer's fields.

Re: pittsburgh/western PA?

200 on an established range is better than the gamelands. where you at?

Re: pittsburgh/western PA?

Have you checked out Thunder Valley? It's a couple hour drive for you, but it's a kick-ass range for sure. His web site isn't done yet, but the contact info is there. Matches are posted in the competition forum section.

Don't forget Rayners Range out by Zanesville OH also shoots out to 900 yards but is planning to get 1000 yards for his plate matches the last Sunday of every month.

Clairton Sportsmans Club in West Mifflin has 150 yds. Members only though. It's a great club that I used to belong to. Skeet, Trap, Archery, Rifle & Pistol ranges. They also put on USPSA & CMP matches there.

I belong to a club 1 hour east of the burgh on rt. 22 Members only, but it only costs $15 per year. we go out to 600yds at a very nice range (concrete benches under roof with a variety round and critter shaped gongs at various distances). Those interested send me a PM.

Re: pittsburgh/western PA?

Is that the old Greater Pitt gun club? I shot metalic silhouette on the rifle silhouette range there long ago with my 338CJMK XP100. From what I can remember it had nice covered firing lines and perfectly flat out to I think 500 yards maybe more.

Didn't know they were still open.

Re: pittsburgh/western PA?

Well, newbie HERE, but not to firearms or firearms boards. I'm planning on joining Mt. Lebanon's Club with my tax return. I've done some shooting as a guest up at Forest Grove, which sounds close to you over there, but their membership is full now. It ain't easy in Allegheny Co., if you're wanting to open 'er up - THAT'S for sure!
