Swiden of Pocono Lake called them 'bad shots."

Swiden, 59, said the men were shooting with 20-round clips rather than the typical three-round clips.
Suspicious activity at the shooting range led a state game commission officer to tip authorities.
"(The men arrested Monday) allegedly used our rifle range in the Gouldsboro area to train in some tactics," said Tim Conway of the game commission. "We did recognize a few things awhile back and reported that to the appropriate authorities."
BTW, the loaded in magazine limit on State Gameland ranges in PA is 3 for a rifle and I believe 5 or 6 for a handgun. Always amused me when I used to practice at one the idiots coming up with their big banana mags for the AKs and having the Range Officer telling them they could only load 3. Don't know if this Gameland range had a Range Officer on duty. They don't always, or sometimes they are not on duty. I stopped shooting at the game lands cause it was too damn dangerous w/o and RO there.
