Outdoor Range in lower PA. Lancaster / York

[CaptainVane]

Are there any outdoor ranges, black powder allowed, open to Marylanders, not restricted to gun club membership, basically open to public for a fee, in the area between MD border and Lancaster, York, points east.

Issac Walton League of York.

Just off Exit 10.

It is a club with membership but it's very reasonable. Marylanders are welcome.

You can do everything you asked about. Have shot black powered there myself. (And once of that was enough. Patience is not one of my few virtues)

PA has a number of ranges maintained by the state and located on state game lands. I have been to the York range and it is quite nice. Regulations do not say anything about black powder being prohibited but if it were me I'd call just to make sure you do not run afoul.

Not exactly the question you're asking . But a number of those Pa Clubs have very reasonable membership , and don't catagorically rule out belonging to one .

Reason I asked about clubs, is I dont want to get involved in Charity Drives, Toys for Tots, or stuff like that clubs usually require. Just want a place to shoot.
Thanks for these leads, what I am looking for.

Very nice small range. I shoot lever action silhouette there with my 44-40 black powder loads. Give them a look and see if it fits your needs.

Join more than one. Delta and SLCFSA costs me less than prices I've seen at any indoor range membership.

I'm fairly ignorant to Deltas membership process, I joined like 14 years ago when you paid for it and they give you a card. I think now you need to be vouched by a member, work hours and after a year of of being a newbie you finally can just send money and receive that years membership card.

Pros/Cons at both.

Delta is a smaller club. They seem cool with bringing your own steel, the few times I've encountered people recently they had their own steel they were blasting at. I'm sure there's some guidelines of that posted somewhere, clay birds on the berms

SLCFSA is bigger with more amenities, they have steel gongs on one of their rifle ranges and their open 50 yard pistol range otherwise it's paper only. Encounter more folks using the range there. Probably have to share the 300 yard on a weekend with someone.

My shtick is swinging by Delta after work on a weeknight several times a month spending anywhere from 10-20 minutes. I plan SLCFSA once every 2-3 months on a weekend with friends/family for a few hours, SLCFSA allows 3 guests.
