Catch-A-Dream charity fun shoot/match 3-21 in Windsor, PA

alucard0822 · Feb 12, 2009

We are hosting a charity shoot, open to the public, shoot all day for $10 a person, $15 for a family. This is a family oriented event, and the minimum doanation to participate all day is lower than most ranges charge for an hour. This is also a very good cause, where guided hunts are provided for some very deserving terminally ill kids. There will be some friendly matches, and plenty of food and fun. This is a private club with decent sized grounds, and about 14 positions at the range with stations for shooting positions, hanguns, and benches with target frames out to 200 yards.

Windsor is a small town south east of York, PA, and only about 20 minutes from the MD line off of I-83, and about 45 minutes from the baltimore Beltway, so the shoot is relatively convienient for MDers.

Location: Windsor Fish and Game www.windsorfishandgame.org
1930 Adair Road Windsor, Pa 17366
Time: 9:00am until 3:00pm
Donation: $10.00 for the full day per person!

hunts for seriously Ill children.
We will be allowing just about any firearm, no limitations on caliber,
action, or sight requirements. No full auto!
This is a fun shoot only! Not a strict competition! The main idea is to
raise money for kids in need, and to enjoy a day of shooting at targets
that we normally do not shoot at during normal open shooting.
We will be setting up metallic silhouette and quite a few other challenging
targets to test your skills.
Food and drink will be available on site for lunch at very reasonable
prices.
NO Alcohol will be permitted.
Door prizes will be donated by local gun shops.

Open carry in PA, right?

of course, and lots of amish food :yummy:

No pemit is required to open carry on foot, and being my range is private property, it doesn't matter anyway. If you have a permit to carry from any state, you can transport a loaded firearm in a vehicle, if you have a permit from a reciprocal state, or PA, then you can carry however you want, and almost anywhere you want. If you do not have a permit though, you have to transport handguns unloaded and cased while in a vehicle.

If friendly and informal is the order of the day, I'll probably be there. I'm a pretty bad shot and I have only one gun.

I'll see if I can drag the wife along too.

Bigdtc · Feb 18, 2009

I might be in for this. I'll know better in a week or two.

Gotta check the schedule at work, but I may be up for this, if only to exercise my LTCH.

There are a couple people that shoot 50BMGs there regularly, the only real rule is no full auto, but rapid fire is fine. The range is basically in a bowl shaped area, with 10' berms for all positions, then about a 40' ridge all the way across the line at 200 yards, so as long as a round does not go airborne, most anything will stay on the property, there are mostly woods past the ridge, but a couple farms and houses too.

This is still a go, correct? What do shooters need to bring in terms of targets/target backers, etc? Forgive the silly questions, I'm so used to Continental's setup I'm afraid I'm lost.

They normally have wooden pallets down range for you to staple targets to if you want to shoot paper instead of steel, outside of eyes, ears, guns and ammo, a stapler and some targets would be about it. You can bring your own stand if you want, they normally do not allow jugs of water or clays on the berms, but I don'tknow if they are going to make an exception for this.

This sounds like fun and a challenge but already have plans for NRA Rifle Instructors school. If I'm available the next one I'd go!!

What exit off I83 just FMI?

If you are in Harford County, it would be better to get to Pylesville Rd (MD 165) which becomes Delta Rd (PA 74) and follow that toward Red Lion and turn right at Windsor Rd.

From I83, Exit 16 will be Queen St (PA 74) going south, but that winds through several towns like Dallastown and Red Lion - with speed limits at only 25mph - and then you would make a left at Windsor Rd.

From Windsor Rd, make a right at the traffic light at PA 624 (which becomes Craley Rd) and then a left at Adair Rd.

How about birdshot? Much cheaper to shoot, and would allow my wife the opportunity to shoot the shotgun with a slightly smaller fear of "unfathomable recoil."
