Full description and what we offer
Harrisburg Hunters & Anglers Association was founded in 1935 by five men who wanted fellowship with fellow outdoor sportsmen—and they cared about the same issues we do today: pollution, reforestation, and conservation. The club has operated from its current 150-acre location in Lower Paxton Township, Dauphin County since 1940.
Today, HHA is one of the most complete sporting facilities in the East, serving members throughout the surrounding area and beyond.
Access to 12 Distinct Ranges: - Indoor Pistol Range (with electronic key access) - Bullseye Pistol Range (PPC) - High Power Rifle Ranges - Youth .22 Range - Blackpowder Range (muzzleloading at Beaver Creek) - Shotgun Patterning Range - Hand Trap Range - Plinking Range - Tactical Range - Archery Range - Sheesley Lake (fishing)
Most target ranges feature covered firing lines, which means you can shoot during mild rain or snow.

The club hosts an annual Christmas Turkey & Ham Dinner (December 2025: 12/13, 3:30-5 PM, $14 donation) and monthly membership meetings on the first Tuesday at 7 PM with light refreshments.
HHA's ranges are regularly used by law enforcement agencies and private security forces for training and qualification—a testament to the facility quality and range standards.
