I'm going to be visiting my uncle in Pittsburgh and we need a good place to go shoot... We are looking for a good range that allows the use of rifles (.223). We used to go to the "Bullseye" range but, it is closed... Does anyone have any good suggestions? I just got done looking at about 40 ranges on www.wheretoshoot.org Is there anywhere that can accomidate black rifles that isn't members only? |

you could try out the pa state game lands, in wexford, its about 10 minutes north of the city, they have a 100. 50, 25 and a 10 yard range, open to the public and is free i would offer to bring you to my range but unfortunatly i let me dues expire and am currently looking for a new range. what part of the city are you going to be around, for what its worth, i have never heard of a range not accepting black rifles, around the pittsburgh area |
Three rounds in an AR-15 or HK33 takes all of the fun out of it... Most of the sportsman's clubs I called frown on EBRs. The nicer ranges I've looked up only allow pistols... We are looking for a nice range that will accomodate our .223 EBRs near Pittsburgh... There has to be someplace around here... Where do you all shoot your EBRs at? |

yeah i here you about the 3 round thing but generaly when i go there i just ignore that rule, you get more crap from the hunters than the range officer anyway, I used to shoot at the allegheny riflemens club in the north hills if you want i could take you as i still know a lot of members, they have no issues with EBRs and have no restrictions other than no full auto fire, i think its a 3 dollar dayly range fee, they have a 100, 50 25 yard rifle and pistol range that goes out to 50, I heard of some places out in monrovile that go out to 300 but i have not personally been there, so i would not be able tell you about their stance on EBR's IM me if interested |
Sorry but, we will be going shooting every day during our stay... I don't think that will work. Is there nowhere else to shoot EBRs in Pittsburgh? |
That's what I thought... You all sure are deprived up North.  I'd never have a hard time finding somewhere to shoot down here... Thanks for the help guys! |
