Hunting Season is here and it’s time to sight in your guns
This is usually the time of year that I avoid gun clubs becaues the season shooters usually show up around now and sight in their guns for deer season. In Pennsylvania it’s almost time to put your crossbow down and pick up a rifle. They have recently opened up many areas of the State to hunting with crossbows because firearms are too dangerous in the highly populated suburbs but but archery is something for those in better health and strength than others. Crossbows do not take as much energy up as compound bows and many people with disabilities are actually taking advantage of the new rules and getting out for deer season. Some crossbows now have really good sights and optics on them and you can even see that Trijicon has some nice sights and mounts for them.
Trying to find a good gun club or gun range that will allow you to sight in your gun for 100yds, sight in your crossbow and maybe shoot archery is hard. Many people looking for a gun club listings in your State have a hard time getting email addresses or phone numbers to even get information. Some gun clubs want to be off the radar but this actually hurts them in the long run when long time members die off and nobody even knows how to join up. We’re doing some work to the website but trying to do more than just talk about guns and tactical gear and get information out to people with feedback about gun range conditions and options.
Pennyslvania is one of the largest gun owners States in the Country. It amazes most people to hear something like that because it’s not viewed as one of the most rugged places in the Country, but the reality is PA has the 2nd largest number of NRA members, 2nd Largest number of gun shows in the Country and it is home of some of the most Pro-Gun Blue Dog Democrats in the Country. The majority of Pennsylvanias political squabbles revolve around Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Pennsylvania has seen its share of gun clubs being closed down and trying to find ranges beyond 100yds within the Philadelphia area is very difficult. There are still a few gun clubs with 200+ yard ranges in about 2hrs or less of Philadelphia and they are mostly private ranges. Check out our website for information about some of them and please feel free to add info to help others find out too.
We have compiled info from our membership over the years and hoping that eventually we will get enough input to keep our info up to date. While we realize that some glubs do not want to post all of there info, we feel that we can be a conduit for people atleast finding out how to find out where a range is.
