You might want to go to John Kort's cast bullet match weekend at Ridgway, Pa. The highpower silhouette range (200-500M) is the normal venue, but on the warmup/sight in day prior to the matches, the field is open all the way to 1000 yards.

Most guys are shooting scoped bolt actions, but some are shooting lever actions or military rifles with iron sights.

Ridgway also has smallbore and lever action silhouette ranges.

John's match is the first weekend of June, I think! I'll try and see if I can find the info...

I've got a good friend in Somerset - not too terribly far away. Not sure if he's done any casting recently or not; he's trying to make a living gunsmithing now. PM me if you want his contact info.

I lived in York '72-'90, Annapolis now. Still close enough to take part if someone gets something going in south central PA. An informal CB shoot of some sort? Some benchrest, some off-hand, some pistol maybe? Beer and a picnic afterwards?

Tunkhannock. Its near scranton and wilkesbarre. I don't crawl out from under my rock very often but for lots of shooting followed by some bbq and beer I think I might be persuaded.

Spring Grove, Pa. Well, split the difference btwn S.G. and York and you'll find my 30 x 60 2 story mancave. As I like to put it, she bought the house, I bought the garage.

I don't know if this would be centrally located enough. My home club is Hopewell Gun Club in Stewartstown Pa., about 20-25 minutes South of York Pa. off Int. 83 on Rt 851. Has 25 yds to 300 yds with 8 covered concrete benches. Almost all weekends are full with scheduled club activities but weekdays it's a ghost town. Anybody wishing to try to get a "few" guys together for a fun shoot would probably be OK. But, I would have to check with the club officials first as we are only allowed a maximum of two guests at a time normally. Anybody interested I'd be happy to check and see how they would react to an informal fun shoot. There are plenty of restaurants and lodging less than 15 minutes from the range for those that might be inclined to stay overnight instead of making the round trip in one day. No guarantees they would approve the activity but it doesn't hurt to ask. If this isn't centrally located enough I'd be interested in going on a little field trip and meeting for a shoot at a range that is.

A post and a PM with any thoughts would be helpful.
