Quoted: Damn, looks like I missed a good one. Art - LMK when the next one is - I've got to get out of the city more. BTW - whats the bolt action you've got in the first two pics?

Next shoot will likely be in August sometime...
Wife and I just got home from a range hunting trip...
Spent the day driving all over looking for a decent place to have another shoot...
"Hamburg Rifle and Pistol Club"
looks like the ticket !
They have a full auto pit, a pistol range, and a 100,200, & 300 yard rifle range...
Looks like the place could handle about 15-20 Class3 shooters, 20 or so rifle shooters, and 10+ pistol shooters...
The Full Auto pit is only about 40-50 yards long, and is surrounded on 3 sides by dirt...
I wouldn't recommend belt-feds, but sub-guns or anything shoulder-fired will be fine...
They even keep bowlng pins on hand for the MG shooters
ALL the shooting bench positions are well covered, but the MG pit is unsheltered...
I don't know the address, but a mailbox at the end of the access road was:
153 Forge Dam Rd.
Shartlesville, PA
This range is SOOOO easy to find...
Interstate 78 to exit 23 (Sharlesville) Get off ramp and go North 1/4 mile on Mountain Rd. to Fork/bend in road, go LEFT at fork onto Forge Dam Rd. range is 1/4 mile on RH side...
Club meetings are the 2nd Wednesday of every month...
Next meeting is June 12th @ 7PM...
Membership fees are $45 per year for NRA members, and $80 per year for non-NRA members...
I will attend the next meeting and find out about renting the whole range for a day of Full Auto, and 100-300 yard AR shooting...
This s a pretty nice place and will handle whatever / whoever shows up..
No onsite kitchen, so no meatballs will be available
They do have a small office with a few tables to sit inside and eat...
The big range is 50cal friendly too...
There was a guy there shooting a varmint gun when I got there, and he was super friendly, and very helpful...
He said a local guy shows up with a Barret M82 on a regular basis...
So...
THIS will be the location for the next shoot...
I just 'gotta iron out the details with the management at the next meeting...
BTW Shaggy...
That bolt gun I was shooting is my Remington 700 .308 PSS with a Tasco Custom Shop 10-50x50mm scope...
Only problem with it is, after shooting a 5-shot string, I only see one hole...
Can't figure out where the other 4 shots went...
