shiberm 7 Posted May 14, 2017 Looking for a range in the northeastern PA area that has steel targets on the pistol range. Does anyone know of such a place ? Would be nice to be able to shoot my handguns at steel targets instead of always just paper. All of the NJ ranges I know of allow only paper for handguns. They have steel targets on the 22 ranges but not on the pistol ranges. I am a member at cherry ridge and they do have one dueling tree steel target on the pistol range but that there is only one. I am willing to drive up to a few hours into PA if mecessary. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alec.mc 180 Posted July 1, 2017 Many ranges, public and and private TYPICALLY do not have steel out for public use, well... because people are dumb. You always have that one a-hole will take his AR-15 and shoot up and destroy a plate rack with .223 rounds from 15 yards. Buy your own and bring it to a range that allows. http://www.gttargets.com/ is a steel target company that serves the northeast here and is in PA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone know of a place that I can go shoot steel and not have to be a member? NJ/PA? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I can't speak to PA ranges but as far as I can tell, in all my travels as a shooter / guest / competitor, one must either be a member or discipline chair at a private range & bring their own steel in order to shoot steel by yourself (without a league function, R-O & supervision). The exception may be Range #14 at Fort Dix (after you pay to belong--like $60 per year, so even THIS option means a membership) and you have to put the steel at the berm 200 yards away. A Range #14 Member please chime-in . The reasons are the same obvious ones Alec pointed out: Dumb-Asses shooting-up steel that doesn't belong to them and/or at close range w/o supervision as the rounds whiz back past their heads from engaging bent plates. "Shooting steel requires brains some shooters don't got", and mostly ONLY private clubs allow it for THAT reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
