Default Anyone shoot at Classic Pistol Incorporated?

I looked at their website and they're range fees are cheaper than the place I normally go to for non-members. I was wondering if anyone shoots there and if there are any restrictions (must buy their ammo, targets, etc...) for shooting there? I read a couple posts that say it is a great place to shoot.

i used to go there with my dad when i was younger... after I turned 18, i stopped going there because you had to be with someone over 21 to shoot... I started going to ready, aim, fire in bristol... and have been going there since and that was 5 years ago. It isn't a bad place to shoot... try both of them ranges out and see what you like better... ready aim fire is right off the pa turnpike bristol exit (last exit in pa) and it is convenient and i don't have to deal with street road traffic (i live right in between both)

There are no restrictions like that, and that is precisely why I like shooting there.

The range is clean and climate controlled for the appropriate season. They also have a small retail counter but their offerings are too mundane for my interests.

Thumbs up Re: Anyone shoot at Classic Pistol Incorporated?

Classic Pistol is a great place to shoot. Everyone there is friendly and their staff if knowledgeable. Its pretty clean for a gun range. You can bring your own ammo. Their ammo prices are pretty good. $8 100-CCI .22 Minimags, $9 for a box of 9mm, $16/Box for .45 (Speer). You can rent full autos, shotguns, and semi-auto rifles. Very good place to shoot. Their prices on guns aren't very competitive but I buy from there since its my local range. I think they charge $50 for an FFL transfer which is pretty high. It does tend to get crowded on weekends. Sometimes you have to wait for a lane. I try to go after 6 on weeknights. I've never had to wait during the week. They close at 9:30 Mon-Fri. I paid $165 for a 1YR membership for handguns only. You get unlimited range visits and 5-10% off your purchases.

Been to Classic a couple of times. Very nice people, clean range, knowledgeable staff, and good ammo prices. Haven't heard of any complaints either. Seriously considering a membership, sounds like a great deal !

I'm def. going back there to see how it is... it's been about 7 years since i went there. My dad got a family membership there years back and we used to go... he didn't want to spend money on ammo and I was getting really bored of shooting the 22 pistol they had to shoot. after i turned 18, classic pistol would not let me just go there and shoot, so i started going to RAF in bristol. it was kind of like a RAF loyalty that stuck after i turned 21.

It's a great range to shoot at. Best public range in the Philadelphia area. You can shoot pistol, you can shoot center-fire rifle. Shoot your carry piece. Shoot pretty much whatever you want.

Classic Pistol is my home away from home

Friendly staff - good hours except they are only open til 6:00pm Sat and Sun.
clean climate controlled lanes.

Not too many chuckle-heads shoot there.

Only ammo restrictions are no tracer rounds and slugs or buckshot only for shotguns.
