PA Game Commission - SGL 42 Westmoreland County
SGL 42 Westmoreland County is a Pennsylvania Game Commission public shooting range operated under the agency's statewide State Game Lands range network (Southwest Region). Two rifle ranges: primary (6 firing points at 100 yds) plus a second range (1+4 firing points at 50/100 yds), and a pistol range (3 firing points at 25 yds). No archery or shotgun. The dual rifle range layout reduces wait times during peak season. Pennsylvania's airgun-positive state framework permits airgun use at PGC ranges under standard rules; shooters carry a $31.97 annual range permit or current PA hunting or furtaker license, plus a secondary form of ID. Open 8 AM–sunset Mon–Sat and noon–sunset Sun (with seasonal exceptions during firearms deer and bear seasons). Range users are responsible for clean-up and may not collect brass while the range is active.

About the venue
Pennsylvania Game Commission state public shooting range on State Game Lands 42; Southwest region
Restrictive — confirm rules carefully
EXPLICITLY airgun-positive at PGC state ranges
Evidence 58 Pa. Code § 141.22 lists air rifles among permitted small game devices. Per direct PA project source: PGC outdoor state ranges have dedicated airgun bays. PGC range rule sheets accommodate airguns under standard rifle/pistol categories. PA statute 18 Pa.C.S. § 6304 separately addresses air rifle local-ordinance preemption.
State-level restrictions Some Special Regulations Areas (Philadelphia, Allegheny) restrict centerfire firearms but permit airguns; locally-imposed restrictions may apply (PA preemption is limited).
This describes Pennsylvania state-level airgun law. Rules at this specific range may be stricter — always confirm with the range directly before traveling.
