Brandywine Public Range

Why is the gate closed all the time. Game warden told me no one was allowed in there to shoot. So why does this site say open

Free Range in a beautiful forest. What's Not to love

Nice free to use public range courtesy of the USFS and WVDNR. There is no RSO and no cell coverage. 40 minutes hard driving to the nearest hospital. Shoot safe and communicate when hot and cold. 100yd rifle with string posts at 25, 50, 75, and 100. You can set targets to about 115 if you bring a stand. String is often shot up so wise to bring your own string along with your cardboard. Rifle has covered bench and ambi shooting benches. Pistol is a single 25yd bay with 3 rests. Pistol bay has a thriving PI patch on the right side. It can get busy and exciting with many newbies or just casual safety attitudes resulting in flagging. Be safe folks.

Great place to shoot and a nice lake down the road.

Love this range, I just wish people would take better care of it considering it’s free! Nice wide open rifle range out to 100ish yards with covered shooting benches. Also has a pistol range, but I’ve not used it I’ll be bringing a broom and dustpan on my next visit.

It's alright when not busy

Great little gem in the middle of the woods. Thank you to the NPS staff and Boy scouts for maintaining the facility. Ignorant trashy (literally) people apparently go here often. I certainly don't want a surveillance State, but I wish that the people who leave their trash and shoot at facility infrastructure (trash cans, roof over benches, signage, etc) were held responsible for their actions.

Only 100 yards, but nice range. Covered firing points.
