TRULLY A NICE PLACE, GAVE IT 4 STARS BECAUSE THE CITY OWNS IT AND WONT PUT THE MONEY INTO IT TO FIX THE SMALL PROBLEMS. #5_POUNDS_OF_PRESSURE ON YOUTUBE

Decent inexpensive range with indoor pistol, 25 yard outdoor pistol and 100 yard rifle range. Trap range has been down for about two years now, tarp backstop came down in a storm and was never fixed.

I love my new outdoor gun range! The instructors are so nice and friendly! I love my experience today looking forward to make new friends

Always a great time, always nice people to talk with when at the range.

If I had to use a single word to describe our experience with H. F. &G. P. A.it would be WOW. This association and it's members went above and beyond for us today. From the way we were greeted and welcomed at the clubhouse by other association members and Board members/ training coordinators, to the way they put safety of all person's (and wildlife that occasionally enters the ranges) at the absolute TOP of their priorities, to the orientation they asked that we attend as a condition of membership, the abundance of competitive matches and classes they offer, to the several different ranges available.this place is 100% worth looking into. They're primarily a competitive shooting type range, you shoot at 25yds for pistol on most instances- but with permission from RSO's they can accommodate for closer target practice. They even have an archery program, and do fishing outings! They run a Junior rifle program for children between 12-18 too! Following the orientation class (about 2 hrs where they really emphasize safety being of the utmost importance) they give you a guided tour of the facilities, followed by a 10 shot qualification shoot on the pistol range. Don't worry about being the fastest, take your time and get 10 shots on paper. If you need assistance during this time, THEY'RE NOT JUDGEMENTAL, they'll be there to help you. If you don't do so great, don't worry.they offer several different classes from handgun basics, to advanced courses. If you're worried about being looked down on for not being as experienced as others, toss that thought right out the window: my mother is scared of handguns and was very nervous during her qualifying time. The RSO's worked with her to ensure that she was safe and accurate. The officers recommended that she takes a class or two in order to gain more experience and confidence in herself. Never during the visit, or their direct interaction with her did they make her feel as if she wasn't good enough for the range. That's something I have a lot of respect for. Other members are more than welcoming and willing to help you get the most out of your time and learning curve as well. All in all, I give Holmesburg Fish and Game Protection Association 5/5 stars, and a very big thank you for all they do in the community.

Courteous but strange crowd. If you're a "precision" shooter and need to zero in frequently at 100yds, you might like the place. If your only interested in getting range practice time in, you'll be very disappointed. I understand the safety concerns, but maybe they can invest in a better setup? Brass all over the ground, some pressed into the dirt from sitting there for obviously months. No fast shooting, no more than 5 shots at a time, crazy pricing scheme, sometimes long waits on the firing line while 4 guys stare at a target for 10-15 min pointing at the holes. I prefer a good indoor range. No 100yds, but I can double tap, fast fire, practice mag reloads, and a machine moves my target, so no stopping.
