newbie from pa

Hello everyone, I have been shooting 22's since I was about 5 years old, and had handguns and rifles of various sorts since I was of a legal age. I started loading for my 357's and that naturally progressed to loading for rifle. In recent months I have developed and interest in what I suppose would be called medium range shooting, as 500 yards is the longest distance I have access to. I am hoping to learn some things about refining my shooting and loading techniques to get the most out of what I have, and figured this would be a great place to do it.

Thanks to all

That is great, it is about 3 hours away from me, but only 25 minutes from my brothers house, great reason to go spend the weekend there once in a while.

Thanks

With Mifflin County if you dont feel like waiting for them to mail it back. Just come up here there are a few stores in the area that sell memberships right in the store. Fill out your membership card, pay and head right to the range. Starting next year they are requiring NRA membership as far as I know so they qualify for grants to improve the range. You can also hunt, and camp there as well. Oh welcome from Lewistown.
