Not airgun, but opening day Water Foul in PA.

I was the video guy.  My cousin is a veteran PA hunter, mostly water foul.  Here's a duck flock doing well surviving first shots of the season!

Enjoy!  I got both my R7 and B26 to half inch groups after the duck hunt.  I'm happy for that!

We got 4 ducks.  Not so great for opening day!

Hi, I live in New York (Long Island) but my Cousin lives near Albrightsville, PA, where we went duck hunting.

Sure thing.

Actually, the past year saw the closing of 2 public ranged for powder burners.   Do you know of any firearm ranges in the area?  My cousin is looking for a new place to sight-in his big game hardware.

For the airguns, we set-up a backyard range which allowed me to sight-in my B26 and R7.  Spend a few hours doing that, until I dry-fired the B26!  I don't think I ruined it, happily.  Have to be  more careful with chit-chat when shooting!

hmmm...which ones did he go to?  the one thats closest to me is in gouldsboro(drive on 380 north, take exit 13, make a left a the end of the ramp, and its pretty much follow the signs)...it was closed for a little because they were removing the lead from it...should be up ad running for now...i know of one other range that i know is open, but i'm not sure if you have to pay to use it.

hope this helps
