The Pennsylvania Game Commission reopened shooting ranges on additional state game lands in counties upgraded to the yellow phase in the state’s three-phase matrix to ease COVID-19 restrictions.
Those counties include: Dauphin, Franklin, Huntingdon, Lebanon, Luzerne, Monroe, Pike and Schuylkill.
Within those counties, any rifle, shotgun, pistol and archery ranges on state game lands have been reopened and regular hours of operation have resumed.
Where counties remain in the matrix’s red phase, and where stay-at-home orders remain in place and large gatherings are prohibited, shooting ranges on state game lands remain closed.
The latest upgrades also will reopen to the public the Game Commission’s Southcentral and Northeast Region Offices, which will resume regular lobby hours beginning June 1.
This is the fourth round of shooting-range reopenings to be announced, and only five of the Game Commission’s shooting ranges remain closed.
The latest upgrades reopened ranges on five additional game lands: State Game Lands 91 in Luzerne County; State Game Lands 206 in Luzerne County; State Game Lands 127 in Monroe County; State Game Lands 183 in Pike County and State Game Lands 211 in Dauphin County.
Shooting ranges that reopened previously include those on: State Game Lands 203 in Allegheny County; State Game Lands 108 in Cambria County; State Game Lands 141 in Carbon County; State Game Lands 176 in Centre County; State Game Lands 72 in Clarion County; State Game Lands 77 in Clearfield County; State Game Lands 58 in Columbia County; State Game Lands 230 in Cumberland County; State Game Lands 109 in Erie County; State Game Lands 51 in Fayette County; State Game Lands 24 in Forest County; State Game Lands 179 in Greene County; State Game Lands 223 in Greene County; State Game Lands 248 in Indiana County; State Game Lands 50 in Somerset County; State Game Lands 245 in Washington County; State Game Lands 159 in Wayne County; State Game Lands 42 in Westmoreland County; and State Game Lands 242 in York County.
