There was an unfortunate event at a local range, and now they may be forced to close.

In response to the media clamor, LRGC member and TheRallyPoint.org
owner Jamie Young has co-ordinated a "support shoot" for April 13. He has
invited all PA /NJ shooters to come out in force to demonstrate the
demand, and safe shooting sports. He has invited shooters through various
boards, including his own, TheRallyPoint, as well as the PA Firearms
Owners Associtation.

I would encourage you all to consider the small cost of an hour or two
of time, and the $15.00 (?) day fee, to support the land owners, who,
by the way, are strong NRA members and supporters of the Foundation.

You may not have the time or the ability to travel to Harrisburgh for
the FOAC (Firearms Owners Against Crime) legislative day, but Furlong is
close. Below Doylestown.

Take 313 North, turn left on Mozart Road.

...
Show your support for a fellow gun range operator!

I'll be there among many others. I'll probably be shooting my XD and shotguns,
so come out and join me and the others for some clay shooting.

Wicen's Shooting Range Support Day

Place: Wicen's Shooting Range
(The Farm)
3179 Mozart RoadFurlong, PA 18925
215-598-3534
New Page 1

Date: Sunday-April 13th Wicen's Shooting Range.

Time: 10am-4pm

Cost: $15

This shoot will be an official Rally Point shoot and specifically to support Wicen's Shooting Range.

Please read the range rules before attending the shoot. They are clearly posted on New Page 1

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: They require photo identification for each adult signing in to use the range. If you do not have photo identification, you will not be allowed on the firing line.

Any local business that wants to donate something as a door prize on April 13th should contact me via PM at TRP.org. or email me at jyoung9656@verizon.net

Joe Wicen gave me permission to allow food to be cooked off the firing line, but I ask that people pack their own lunches/food for this because trying to accomodate an unknown turn out will be difficult. If you plan on cooking food, please contact me and try an co-ordinate that for your group.

Please come with the a helpful attitude. We want to create a positive atmosphere in light of the situation.

All of the details about the stray bullet incendent at Wicen's are still being compiled, but we need to show support for the range.

Spread the word and get off the computer and come out on April 13th.

Please repost this on any gun board that is willing to support Joe Wicen's range. People from Delware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania will be in attendance so please spread the word with 2nd Amendment groups in those States. I would appreciate it if people would post here or email me about attending the shoot so that I don't have to read through too many gun boards to get an accurate head count.

wow i live nowhere near there but i will gladly send an email to someone if you have an address.

we have an indoor range here and a 300 yard range out in the middle of nowhere so for me its hard to imagine a house behind the range. i do feel bad for the range and there customers but i am also conserned about those houses.

but it seem like the person who shot would have to make an adjustment error of more then 50 yards since most rifles the 50 and 500 yards arnt THAT far apart and it seems like like he would have to aim up at a pretty good angle to miss by that much

If I still lived there, I'd go; I grew up in Buckingham,PA. I hope it goes well. Keep us posted.

I am assuming the guy shot over the berm. What is with new shooters buying guns they dont know how to operate.
