PA Hunting clubs/ranges

Does anyone know of any hunting clubs or organizations in the Berks County PA area? One that I know of has a membership lottery every year and I enter it because a few friends of mine are members but they only draw new members in a lottery format. One of these years hopefully I would get picked but in the meantime I was curious to see if there are any other clubs or ranges in my area that I could use. It gets to be a pain to go site-in and have to juggle schedule's with my member friends. It is a nice club archery course and rifle range, organization has politics like any other place but the membership lottery could take me forever to get membership.
Where would I find out if there are any public ranges to use?

Alot of the State Game Lands have public shooting ranges-if you're close to any,you may want to check them out.Do it soon because they're gonna get crowded real quick with rifle season coming up.

I would suggest going to a few of the local sporting goods store that cater to hunters and fishermen and ask around. I wouldn't go to S.G.L. to sight in a rifle. The one I've seen in Gouldsboro is a joke. No supervision , shooters coming in just doing there thing and no safety at all.
I'm sure you'll beable to find a small local club that will fit your needs.
