Hi All,

Brand new gun owner here. I've been to Sunset Hill in PA a few times and decided I liked shooting so much I bought an M&P 15 .223 Sport and a Beretta 92fs Inox. I'm planning on joining Easton Fish and Game but I have some questions for anyone that goes there. I assume I bring my own targets...correct? Can anyone recommend what kind of targets I should buy? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Can't wait to go!

Thanks.

Joel

Welcome to the Forum, as far as the Easton, I have never been there but other will chime in anytime now with an answer to your questions.

Here are the rules, there is also a rule on targets.

 

They have the target stands and most of the time i only bring paper targets+ stapler.

I think for $60.00 for NEW members you are allowed to bring your own targets.

Anyone can bring targets. Bring whatever targets you like to shoot (other than bottles/garbage/whatever), read the rules about that. There aren't many restrictions at Easton, that's why I love it.

 

Any other questions, feel free to post them.

I tend to go with either paper plates or shoot-n-c targets. And a staple gun with lots of staples of course.

thinking of joining here. Can i shoot those bouncing targets here? how about bring my own steel targets, it says online that they allow paper targets or the steel gong they have there. Or target trees, spinners any of that allowed? the site doesnt really tell, just says not bottles can jugs or exploding targets. i assume no bowling pins?

This is the latest response from EFGA, someone asked about a dueling tree in the EFGA subforum:

 

"Current policy is that club provide any steel targets. Please do not use dueling trees or other steel targets even on rimfire range. We will be working on address this policy in the coming months and should be announcing any changes"

 

You can ring them and ask about the bouncing targets, jugs and pins but AFAIK any other targets than paper and the steel they provide (rimfire range has steel plates and a couple of spinners that EFGA provies from the last time i was there ) are not allowed.

I was told by a range officer and a committee member that you can bring your own steel as long as its not some homemade piece of junk. I think it's one of those deals where you get 5 conflicting answers.

^^^^ ask 5 different people and you get 5 different answers.

Don't forget to bring a stapler! I highly recommend a spotting scope if you plan on shooting at 50 yards or 100.

 

Any kind of targets will work just as long as you have a decent spotting scope. Splatter targets are always better if you don't mind coughing up almost $1.00 a sheet. (Shoot N C targets)

You are allowed to bring your own AR500 steel and hang it at the riffle range.

Paper targets and a stapler works for the rifle, pistol and rimfire ranges. They have target stands at 25, 50 and 100 yards on the rifle range. The past few times I've gone they've only had 1 or 2 hanging target backers to use on the pistol range if you want to shoot closer than 25 yards, not great when there's multiple people trying to use the pistol range. And recently they've had nothing to attach targets to on the training range...

I believe they've said this is ok as long as you hang them at 100 yards and not closer.

Anyone know if they are way behind sending membership cards out? I have had my 30 day card for about 90 days with no further contact.
