Important Range & Property Notices
Pistol/Shotgun Range construction: Beginning Wednesday, October 28, the range will be closed while the contractor is working. Construction will take place over multiple days. No alternative short-range or shotgun targets will be available during these closures. We will announce when work is complete.
October 30 closures: The Trap Field and High Power Range will be closed until 3 PM for a youth event. The pond, pavilion, and garage area will also be closed.
No Sunday hunting: Hunting is not permitted on Blair Game property on Sundays. This property rule does not prevent scheduled Sunday range activities, including sight-in days.
Parking: Use designated parking areas, follow posted signs, and keep gates and access routes clear. The area in front of Taylor Range is for drop-offs only. Do not park beside the tree at the 25-yard end of Taylor Range or beneath the large pine tree to the left of the garage.

Range Officers will oversee Taylor Range during these busy days. Taylor Range will be restricted to Pennsylvania-legal hunting rifles.
During sight-in days, the High Power Range will be the only location available for non-hunting rifles. Space is limited and will also be used by hunters sighting in at longer distances. For recreational shooting, we recommend choosing another day.
Bore sighting will be available for $5 per rifle.
