Dix in NJ trained....Its loaded on a dailey basis with people from NJ with semi and some full autos and no experience or knowledge of range safety or gun safety for that matter and if you question anyone as to why they are doing what they are doing you will be met with confrontation.

Archbald is the range I prefer and yes the metal roof sucks but thats why we have expensive ear protection isn't it..

where exactly is the range in archbald,and what would be the directions to get there?

Take rt6(casey highway) from Scranton north to the Salem rd exit....At stop sign turn right and head up the hill and you will see the sign on the right after the new construction...About 1/2 mile or so...Not far at all.....Once you enter the range area the shotgun range is to the left. The pistol range is right in front of you and the 50, 100, 200 yrd rifle ranges are to the right..

3 rounds in shotguns and rifles and no more then 6 per clip on pistols..You are not supposed to have loaded pistols holstered on range. Paper targets only on pistol and rifle and shotgun range is really for skeet.

You know Dan that I am starting to dream about paddling the Lackawanna, Lackawaen and Lehigh already! Already have the first two weekends in May on the calendar..May 9 I will be up for the Riverfest again. Previous week is the Nelson Country (VA) Race. You ought to come down for that one. Nice river and great people. Let me know if you want to .

Well to add to the list, I didn't see cross country skiing. My brother and I usually ski at Tobyhanna State Park, but have skiied along the trails near the Lackawanna above the Simpson bridge towards Forest City. That is nice. There are usually snow machines along the trails there too so be careful. THink they are open for horses too.

My brother and I like to take a winter hike along the Lehigh river at the state park near Rockport.

Ice fishing is a lot of fun too.

I saw something on tv that caught my eye, apparently some folks set up a winter golf course on Lake Wallenpaupak when it freezes. They have the holes set up using discarded Christmas trees to mark tee boxes and the "greens" that looked like a hoot.

The weekend before Thanksgiving was my last day on the Susq...Waiting till the weather breaks and then I'm back up there....Scouting for duck and geese....Too cold for fishing right now but we'll try and see if we can get anything in the deeper areas..

I'm looking for a reasonable drysuit for the early season lackawanna.....March/April/May run-off...

I'm trying not to let the cold keep off the river, but it is what it is right now......Not really motivated to ski or ride so hopefully this cold snap will bring in some ice and my buddy and I can get some climbing in this winter without having to drive to NH...

Still really just want to be able to paddle right thru the year.......
