Yup, has to be the nicest I have ever shot at. Friendly people, excellent facilities, beautiful ranges, and minimal rules that are almost universally obeyed by all members. In fact, I think belonging to the Southern Lancaster County Farmers and Sportsman's Association probably makes me smarter and better looking. It might even cure warts!
A recent visit found some nice touch ups and projects completed.
The 100 yard range got new walkways. Very nice on rainy days.
The pistol shooting bays all got concrete pads to put benches on, at the
fifty foot mark. Also new target holders and weeds trimmed.
The parking lot for the main pistol range, new gravel and freshly trimmed.
I'd like to extend an invitation.... if any blog readers will be in the
area over a weekend, and would like to see the club, let me know.
It would be an especially good day on one of the CMP style shoots,
with military rifles of all ages showing up.

Nice place. It kind of looks like one of the ranges I am a member of down here in Florida.
Our's used to be decent with good folks and not too many stupid rules but it's slowly changing.
They've started letting non-members in that are pretty much the riff-raff type. Lately they've been coming up with more and more (along with stupider and stupider) rules about what you can and can't shoot on the range.
I already pay what I consider an exorbitant membership fee and now along with letting the gangbangers in and making up more stupid rules to appease the antis, they want to raise the yearly dues another $200.
It was a great range at one time with great people and no problems. It's got so bad lately I am seriously thinking about not renewing my membership for 2009. I know about 50 other members that feel the same. We'll see what happens.
This range is only 25 miles from my house so I hate to give it up but it's just not worth it anymore. There are several other good ranges without the riff raff and stupid do nothing rules within 50 miles on my house so I'm going to have to do some looking around this year.
I'd rather drive a little farther and shoot with good, common sense people than put up with the B.S. that has been going on at what was my favorite range lately.
Maybe when they lose a hundred members and have nothing but baggy pants, grill wearing gang bangers shooting there, they will see the light.
Wish me luck. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to your range.

It's always nice to see range improvements like that! We finally had concrete pads, after years of sand and then gravel - it makes a big difference when it's wet!
