Ok thanks.

742 miles my home and it appears that the best places to stay are in New York. I’ll need to really think about this.

New York has some nutso regulations on guns having to be locked up at all times in a hard case with combination lock or pad lock and line of sight at all times. Least that's what I remember. A fair number of folks for that reason stay in Pa. Skyline hotel in Tunkhannock is popular. Clean and certainly not 5 star but not priced like a 5 star. Good (not great) eating places nearby.

I stayed at an Airbnb not far from there that was just right.
You may wish to look there for more comfortable closer lodging.

Realistically, the best way to go there and enjoy the thing, is to try to elicit some friendship on this website, and see if the locals and regulars can’t work together to make it more possible for an out-of-towner to go there and enjoy themselves.

That’s just one example of one of the things that’s lacking.

Don't go their wearing a pro-Biden hat and you won't have a problem, but just to be fair, I have been their many times and wearing a ''Pro Trump Hat''
and have been verbally attacked by some Parker gun union members, You see they think anti gun Democrats don't want their double guns, but they are mistaken.

I'll pass on wearing any political hats thanks.

Morons need to politicize everything......

Harry,
You are doing their club no great service.

Running shoots is the entertainment business. Nothing more.

For the club to have a successful shoot, they have to cast the broadest net. And that means that all are welcome.

Once the shoot starts to pick teams and take sides on politics or religion or money or any number of other things, all that does is make the potential catch of the net smaller.

So which is it you want? To go to a shoot where nobody talks politics and you have 250 shooters, and the club makes a years worth of thei capital Improvement budget off of their visiting guest? Or do you want to go to a shoot where it’s the same group of grumpy old men standing around wondering how they can chisel the 26th target off the skeet field?

Again, running shoots is the entertainment business. Every club should do everything they can to make sure that it is easy for their guests to come to their club, spend money, and enjoy themselves.

I’ve been to shoots where visiting guests were given a button that said visitor with a big smile on it, so that everybody on their grounds knew that this person doesn’t even know where the bathroom is.

Clubs that are embracing of visitors do well, clubs that are cold toward visitors generally don’t.
