Me and @Scotty Overkill were kicking around the idea of having a central PA GTG. And are trying to see if there will be enough interest.
The date we were looking at is June 10, 11 and 12th.
I will be there Friday morning early to help greet/ set up the area.
I am a member of the Blair County Game Fish and Forestry association ( most locals know it as the Riggles Gap Shooting range).
I asked permission from the club to see about having a GTG and permission was granted. If you have intentions of coming to the GTG, you must be a member of FHC or OPE, or accompanied by a member from either site. If you intend on bringing a firearm to the GTG, you must do so legally and be legally allowed to own and operate a firearm. Be aware of interstate laws and regulations when considering bringing a firearm. We are being granted a great gift using this site, so please respect it and it may become a yearly tradition!
The club is situated in the mountains of Central PA in a tight little gap called Riggles Gap. The grounds consist of 500 acres. There is a 25, 50, 75 and 100 yard rifle/ pistol range. 25 and 50 yard muzzle loader range and a 100, 200 and 300 yard rifle range and a pistol range to knock down bowling pins and steel targets.
They also have a skeet and trap range but it will be closed, that is where we will be camping. The camping area is aprox 150 X 150 yards.
We will be cutting and splitting wood for the club because there is a family that lives there year round and they heat with wood. There will be cutting, dragging and hauling logs/wood from the woods. I am going to do my best to try to have a pile logs ready and staged in the camping area. The caretakers said that there is plenty of wood to cut.
They said that anyone helping to cut wood can use the range for free.
Kubota's, 4 wheelers, side by sides and splitters are welcome.
There is a pavilion and a kitchen for use that would be prvided for an extra charge. Porta John's are already there for use.
We were thinking of roasting a pig for the main meat course. Cups plates and plastic ware will be provided.
Eveyone can bring something of their choosing a side, dessert, snacks etc.
So if you're into two strokn', paper pokin' and campfire stokin' good time then let's start the summer off right with some some fun!
Let's hear some feed back for intrest so we can start getting some numbers and a list of what people want to bring.
