Existing groups don’t have any presence on Reddit so I’m taking it upon myself to spread the word. Many of the posts here will be announcements for their events. If you prefer to get it directly from the source then their info is below:
These groups meetup about once or twice a month during the winter, but I will meet up year round! Come out and join!

If you’re looking for a range to show up to and shoot when you want I recommend Beaver Valley Rifle Pistol Club. You’d have to email [membership@bvrpc.org](mailto:membership@bvrpc.org) if you don't know any members. Mark is the head of membership over there and it’s a really good facility & culture. Washington County Machine Guns run by u/WCGSis also solid. Their website is here. They close at 10pm so it’s less than ideal for night shoots in the summertime. However if you like machine guns and other NFA stuff like destructive devices then they’re great for that. They’re not officially accepting new members at the moment but the owner has stated that they add about 5 a month and he’ll fast track your application if you mention Reddit, which is pretty cool.
There are various other ranges that host night shoots or matches throughout the season as well. Rosedale Gun Club 30 minutes outside the city is the most active for this. Their Facebook group is called Pittsburgh Night Shooting Society. They’re done once a month in the wintertime and non-members can show up and shoot for $20. Another range that hosts occasional night shoots is Ben Franklin Range, an hour north of the city. https://benfranklinrange.com/events/ They are a larger facility and also feature a full shoot house. Greater Pittsburgh Gun Club also hosts low light matches occasionally that are open to non-members.
Also check out the East Coast Night Shoot hosted in November only an hour and a half away into Ohio. This a huge annual event with lots of cool toys and interesting ranges.
