We at Ace Sporting Goods get asked the question all the time “Where are there shooting ranges?” Let’s see if we can help.
There are Pennsylvania Game Commission ranges that require either an annual $30 range use permit or a current general hunting or furtaker license. http://www.pgc.pa.gov/HuntTrap/StateGameLands/StateGameLandsRanges/Pages/default.aspx
