Thunder Valley Precision — Local services in Linton Township

I made the trip out to TVP yesterday from central Pa. Upon arrival, my initial thought while pulling on the property was "wow!" The property is really well kept and you can tell a lot of time and effort is put into it. I had no idea what to expect or where to go as this was my first time here. I met with one of the owners of the property and she was a sweetheart to deal with. Very helpful in giving instructions. The range itself is a thing of beauty. There's plenty of steel targets on the property at various ranges. After I was finished on the range, I wanted to grab a T-shirt(highly recommend as they're super comfortable) so I made my way back to the owners to ask about one. I ended up talking to the husband for a few minutes about the range and how the business came to be. I could ramble on for a couple hours about the whole experience but I'll end it on this; if you're tossing around the idea of making a trip to TVP, don't hesitate to go. It was such an awesome experience from start to finish. I highly recommend anybody to check out this work of art they've created. Thank you guys so much for all the hard work. I'll be back out in the...

BEST RANGE EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!! They have targets from 200 yards to 1 mile for the rifle range. A pistol range that goes to 200 yards (I think....) all steel targets except at 1000 yards on the rifle range. They also have a 100 yard zeroing target for rifles. There are also specific short range targets for AR's on the pistol range. These are the only features that I personally used, but there is a great deal more available on the property. The thing that really sets this range apart though is the owner. He's a retired marine with a lot of experience. Both him and (who I assume to be) his wife are extremely friendly and helpful. He teaches classes around the country and is planning on expanding west. This range experience is something definitely worth traveling for. Open range is on the weekends, on the weekdays make an appointment. There is a $30 range fee per person and so far as I can tell, no time limit (though I assume that will change on busier days). The owner does work multiple jobs, so it can be difficult to get in touch, but well worth it! Again, awesome...

This is an outdoor long distance shooting range. It pretty clean. There is nothing on site so you will need to bring anything you need. There is no store as far as I can tell. To that point there were no employees on site? There was a paybox and sign-in sheet for entry.

The shooting area was pretty clean when we went. It looks like the garbage is removed often. The restroom consists of 3 portable toilets set about 50 feet from where you shoot. They seemed to be well taken care of. There was plenty of cover space to shoot from, and keep your equipment while there. There didn't seem to be anything to clean up brass so you're going to have to use your own two hands.

Over all it's not bad. Especially without any workers on site. I think most people who go to this kind of range bring and reload their own stuff so maybe a store is not needed? On Facebook there is a picture of a lobby and sales counter, but it wasn't here. To this point don't forget hearing protection, as far as I could tell there is nothing nearby. Maybe you have to be in the know? Anyhow we had...
