State Game Lands 216 Public Archery Range

This public archery facility operates as part of Pennsylvania's network of shooting ranges maintained on state game lands. The range is open from dawn until dusk throughout the year, providing year-round access for archers of various skill levels. Users are responsible for maintaining a clean shooting area and must remove their targets after use. Arrows with broadheads are permitted only on targets specifically designated for broadhead shooting. Children under sixteen require supervision from an adult who is at least eighteen years old. When multiple people are using the range simultaneously, one person must be designated as the range officer. Organized groups can reserve the facility from January through September by contacting the appropriate Pennsylvania Game Commission regional office at least twenty days in advance and obtaining the required permit. The range may be closed temporarily by Game Commission personnel, and users should check the range status before visiting.
