AverageJoe 95 Posted July 14, 2016 If all goes well looks like there will be a 300 and 600 outdoor range! Fingers crossed... http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/slate-belt/index.ssf/2016/07/massive_gun_range_may_be_comin.html#incart_river_home 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted July 14, 2016 Very familiar with the neighborhood. This will be a tough sell. We shall see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
67gtonut 847 Posted July 14, 2016 Yeah..... Long way from this being a reality ..... Was sitting with Pete a few weeks ago looking at an overhead shot of the property...... Might be tough to find a direction to place range in where it does not interfere with community..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howard 538 Posted July 14, 2016 Saw the article in a newspaper last night, hope all works out this time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot 358 Posted July 14, 2016 Last time I was driving to EFGA, I saw there was a plot of land for sale next to it. Would be perfect for another range since there are already two zoned nearby. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJM981 924 Posted July 14, 2016 Now I'm fine with moving out further west. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted July 14, 2016 I assume that this is Upper Mt Bethel in Pennsylvania, given that it was reported in a Lehigh Valley newspaper. There is a Mt Bethel in NJ also Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted July 14, 2016 This is in PA. Right in the area known as Village of Stone Church off 611 in Upper Mt Bethel Township. Going to be hard to sell steel only shotgun sports with another large trap club just about 7 miles away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brucin 923 Posted July 14, 2016 This is great news. I hope Pete and the guys can pull it together and the Township plays ball. Good luck guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revenger 473 Posted January 14, 2017 does anyone have any updates on this range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tattooo 220 Posted January 14, 2017 Another 600 yard range would be nice.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace08066 2 Posted January 14, 2017 Figures it'd be opening up in the north... North Jersey is essentially the reason for NJ being such a f*ed up state with guns, why do they get all the good stuff? lmao Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
67gtonut 847 Posted January 14, 2017 No progress at this time..... If I get an update I will let everyone know.... As of now, still looking for the right property Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tattooo 220 Posted January 14, 2017 Not to hijack your thread OP but on a side note I heard Shooters was building a 125' or 150' outdoor range Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AVB-AMG 530 Posted January 17, 2017 No progress at this time..... If I get an update I will let everyone know.... As of now, still looking for the right property 67gtonut: I am assuming that since it is so difficult to find a large tract of land in northern NJ, where any of the neighbors bordering the prospective property to be acquired, would object and put up a fight to having a gun range next to them, that the owner's of RTSP will most likely have to focus their search for a suitable parcel somewhere in Pennsylvania. Correct....? AVB-AMG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
