Harrisburg Hunters & Anglers Association

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.

Guest passes cost $10 per day. Annual guest pass add-ons are available at renewal. Membership cards include electronic key access; keys cost $6 each.

HHA offers NRA-certified courses including: - Basic Handgun Safety Course - Intermediate Handgun Skills Course - Advanced Handgun Training

These programs are open to all ages and skill levels, including women—HHA actively promotes participation through "Ladies' Night on the Range" events.

The club hosts multiple disciplines and matches throughout the year:

Adult Competitions: - Bullseye Pistol - Police Pistol Combat (PPC) - High Power Rifle - Blackpowder (Beaver Creek Muzzleloading) - Multi-Gun Matches - Tactical Range Competitions - Striker Fire Challenge - Non-Metallic Falling Plate Challenge - Woods Walk Match - Novelty Shoot

Youth Programs: - Competitive Rifle Team (ongoing) - Competitive BB Gun Team - Junior Rifle Program (NRA instruction) - Marksmanship Qualification - Hunter Education - Fishing Derby - Youth Field Day - Archery competitions

The main clubhouse (originally a barn) includes a large meeting area about 30' × 60' with a stone fireplace, lounge, and full kitchen facility. 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.

Membership Requirements: - Complete application (available at clubhouse or online) - Board approval (typically several weeks) - Attend safety orientation (required before card issuance) - Membership valid January 1 – December 31 - New applications received after October 1 are valid for remainder of current year plus requested membership year
