Its been a while since I lived in the area, but there is (or used to be about 5 years ago, I dont know if its still there) a gun club near Kutz Elementary School in Doylestown. They might have a rifle portion, I never checked into it as I only shot trap at the time.

Bucks County Fish and Game in Doylestown is open for new members, but so is Lower Providence Rod and Gun and its about 15 minutes from KoP mall. Check your local phone book for them. I used to shoot IPSC matches there once a month; they're a pretty active club.

The closest thing that meets your requirments is New Holland rifle and pistol club.
It is in New Holland...maybe an hour west of KP It has backstops out to 600 yards. They are black rifle friendly. They have steel plates and bowling pins to shoot. They are not gonna tolerate rapid fire for the sake of blasting rounds fast. They are primarily a High Power Match rifle club. No tin can targets or stuff like that. Only paper or the supplied steel and pins. They also have a nice pistol range too. They are not far off the T/P near the Morgantown exit. The problem with some other clubs mentioned here like Lower Providence(100 yd range only and closed for several years) Bucks county range is ok only 100 yds. There are MANY other ranges in the Mont/Bucks area, but most are 100-200 yds ranges. There is a real good 300 yard range in the Mount Penn area. Not far off the 422 bypass. i can give you better info if we talk. Call me at my gun shop next week. John Seneca Arms co Green Lane Pa 18054 215-234-8984 tue-fri: 10am-7pm Sat: 9am-4pm Sun-Mon: Closed PS I have Lots of customers from the King of Prussia area as it is only 45 min or so from my shop. |

Lower Providence is wonderful if you are a shotgunner, archer, or pistolero but the rifle ranges are lacking. They used to have a 100 yard outdoor range that they let close in hopes of a 100 yard tunnel that never was completed. Only remaining outdoor range is a 50 yarder.
In Quakertown their is a range that used to be called Twin S that has a 500 yard range and is machine-gun friendly. It is now called something else that for the life on me I can't remember. Sorry that I can't remember the name but I could give you directions if you like, it is about 45 minutes north of you right off the Quakertown turnpike exit. Rocko, reply if you need detailed directions. |

The old Twin-S gun club now called "wings and water" or some crap like that has not been machine gun friendly since the early 1990s. Whn Dan Roof bought the range from Charlie Davis and his share holders, Roof pulled the plug on ALL mg fire. It is now a sporting clays range of some sort or another. They still have the rifle range, but they have been squeezing rifle shooters out of there for the last 6 or so years. I was a long time member in the old days. I would not spend a dime on that club now.

I sent a letter to New Holland asking about membership after I attended a steel league shoot there. Even included a stamped self addressed envelope. Never got a reply. They do have a nice set up.
I'm at Delaware County Field and Stream right now. Single shot only for high power rifle. 5 for pistol. Paper targets only, all ranges. The rules suck, but they have the advantage of being very close to home. |

I have not shot at "Wings and Water" (gay ass name btw) but know a couple of people with machineguns who have been members for a few years and they tell me it is M-16 friendly. I know that they have been there within the last year shooting the M-16s with no problem.
But in any case, I was there to check out the range (actually on the day I originally posted) and saw a few ARs, AKs and FALs with owners happily blasting away. The 500 yard range was closed, hopefully just temporarily, but many people were shooting at the 300 yarder. They do have a sporting clays range but it was not, nor the most popular availible venue. I will be joining soon hopefully as it is the only range, albeit a little rough around the edges, in our area with the variety of shotguns, pistols, plus a long range. Maybe I'll splurge and get a .50 now. |
