Scotia Range Complex Improvements

The PA Game Commission is planning to make upgrades and improvements to several ranges at the Scotia Range Complex on SGL 176 in Centre County. A contractor has been selected and may begin construction soon or postpone their start due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. This project is scheduled to be completed by the end of May.

This phase will improve the archery, shotgun patterning, pistol, and two auxiliary ranges. Each range will be receiving new shooting station pavilions so individuals utilizing the range will be protected from the sun and rain. Several of the ranges will be receiving new target holders. The security fence running between the pistol and auxiliary ranges will be removed and relocated to include the auxiliary ranges. These are only some of the upgrades.

We will not be closing the Scotia Range Complex for these improvements. At times, a range or two may be closed but another open range will likely work in a pinch. The contractor is planning to work systematically through the project and only close individual ranges until that range is finished, then move onto the next. There may be times when two or more ranges need to be closed in order to work down-range safely but exactly how many ranges will be closed at one time will be decided by the contractor.

Phase two will address the rifle range only and more information will be provided when it’s moving forward.
