THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Just like the title says... Looking to shoot at a place that allows me to bring my steel targets for pistol use. I know I have seen the plate racks but did not know if they allowed personal steel on the range. And it will be used at safe distances and is from a quality maker. It is just getting to crowed where I shoot now and they do not allow any steel. Thanks, Pat.

Do you mean New Holland Rifle & Pistol Club? (NHRPC)

To my knowledge they do not allow personally owned steel but they have added a lot of new steel on the pistol ranges. I mean new stuff has been put there within the last two weeks. Fullsize IDPA sil's included.

Most of the time you would probably have the entire pit to yourself.

If you dig more formalized pistol stuff they've got steel challenge and a kickass IDPA match.

Yes, that is what I meant, got my letters all wrong.

Ok, I had not been up there in a few months and last I was there the only steel I had seen was the plate rack that looked a bit beat up. LOL
I know a guy up there had been bringing his own stuff but he did IDPA or USPSA (which ever) but I figured that might be because of what he did.
I usually am shooting during the week and so I was figuring on having the pit to myself as it seems the week days are pretty quiet up there.

Personal steel is allowed, it just needs to be approved by the current President or Training Officer before use.

And as Fargo007 mentioned, there is now a new 5x target swinger, full size IDPA target, and 2x target swinger installed in the steel pit.

Well that explains all of the steel clanking on Tuesday morning in the pistol pits. I think there were a group of LEO's down there breaking it in good.

Sounds good. Thanks for the replies. I believe I may be joining a new range... If you'll take me!
