Relatively new to the Dayton area and go to Vandalia Range and Armory for handgun shooting but don't know if they currently allow my WASR-10 - anyone know?
I went to Spring Valley for my CCW range time and frankly don't recall the rifle ranges - DNR website doesn't give a lot of info and I assume AKs are allowed but wonder a) if anyone has shot one there and b) what yardage the rifle range(s) are? Thanks! |

I retract my above nice statements about Spring Valley. Anyone else had any run-ins with the old man who is the range safety officer? He's been there every time i've been there. It doesn't matter what i'm shooting that day...be it blackpowder, my AR, helping a friend zero a .22 with a scope...he has to say something shitty. It's not like i'm dangerous, breaking the rules, or doing anything the other shooters aren't doing. I'm literally there to shoot, enjoy my weapons, and GTFO. I'm on active duty in the OHARNG for cripes sake. I've been on a few ranges and know a bit about range safety. I won't be shooting at Spring Valley anymore, simply because this guy ruins my day every single time i go there. |

Crichton26, Driftwood419.....I live in lucas county but I shoot here.
http://www.smisclub.org/ Just over the line in Temperance. They have an indoor range (50 ft.Handgun or .22) and outdoor handgun/rifle 50 yard range. A 100 yard rifle range. Its kinda nice and everybody is really friendly. Theres a waiting list but it's over before you know it. They have highpower matches every other sat. or something like that. People shoot all kinds of diffrent things there. Not just bolt guns. Crichton26..... I love Clelands I live near there and only in the last three years I got into guns. When I lived in an aparment that was the only place I could shoot. Never had a bad experience there. Very friendly place(my experience). But.....handguns and .22 only. |

ODNR class C/O range. Basically a hill to shoot towards. Pistol range, rifle range, clay range. Not much static from anyone. Only downside is the idiot college students, local stupids and 2A club that go there occasionally. |

I went there alot in the late 1970's when i was in high school after i left friends told me the state cleaned it up in the 1980"s.there was some bad stuff happening out there. a friend got robbed at gun point during a target check once , and my dad told me of some other ruckess that happend out there. i think thats why the state stepped in and cleaned it up. last time i shot there was about 1990. it looked nice then and the range officer was a nice guy and would talk guns with you... man its a shame..it sounds like a you gota jump hoops to shoot there now

I hope I missed it in the thread, but I am looking for places in greater Columbus area (not 50 miles away) that allow rifles and shotguns. 100 yards + would be a nice bonus. I am visiting some friends, want to bring my guns, but I need to find a place to shoot first.
Edit: The Powder Room is pistol only. Rifles can be .22LR or handgun ammo only. No magnums. New Albany Shooting Range: Indoor Pistol (50 ft), Indoor Rifle (75 ft). They do allow shotguns and rifles. I know nothing about Black Wing in Delaware but I may give them a try. |

There is a small range in West Jefferson called Big Darby Creek Shooting Range. Its small only about 10-12 stalls. It's outside. You can pick the distance from 25-50-100 on one side and 300 on the other side. You have to prove your skill to be on the 300 side. But they let you shoot just about anything there, as fast as you want, as much as you want. We go there to shoot our S&w .380, Our .38 Special Charter arms, Our WASR-10 AK47 clone, our Mosin Nagant m44, our friends 12 gauge, Ar15 and many more.
Its Cheap as hell too. Only $12 for the 1st hour and $8 for any subsequent hour. Memberships Available. They have all the equipment up there for sale. The owner Pete is very nice and very friendly. Here's the link to there website. http://www.bigdarbycreeksr.com/ Hope to see ya there.

Depending on where you are in Cincinnati no more than 45 minute drive. Very nice setup. 25, 50, and 100 ranges separated by a berm. Covered shooting positions and they provide target holders (you provide the paper targets). Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. $5 daily pass you can get anywhere you get a hunting license, or $24 annual (which runs March 1 to Feb 28 no pro-rating so get it now). Supervised range but very low key - call your own cease-fires, etc.. No rapid fire though for those looking to shoot full auto. Click here for their website |

Just a heads up though, you have to shoot through slots and from the bench at the rifle range. This is because some ass ruined it for everyone and overshot the range, with rounds landing in a park being built across the Great Miami. Other than that they have decent pistol, plinking, trap, and skeet facilities. Another decent option would be Middletown Sportsmens Club. They have a 200yd range with 75yd and 100yd also available for rifle. They're open everyday until 5pm except for Mondays. |

Toledo area guys, I just joined Adams Conservation Club today. It's on King Road, between Hill and Angola.
I spoke with the Treasurer and a few Chairmen before I signed, and they are Black Rifle friendly. Only stipulation is only 8 rounds allowed in the mag at a time, and no "machine gunning". They have 50, 100, and 200 yard rifle ranges. I saw 2 pistol ranges, and they have an indoor range. I don't know the details of the indoor, just noticed a few old timers in there with some .22's. I did notice a nice trap area out in the back. I didn't get any info on it, as I rarely do that. I'll edit my post as I learn more. I plan to stop out there sometime next week before work. |

Top Gun Range/Great Lakes Outdoor Supply of Middlefield in Geauga county is a great little range. They currently only have a 100 yard pistol/rifle range with 3 concrete benches and room for ~6 other shooters, but are working on opening up a 400 yard range immediately next to it (divided by a berm of course).
Cost: $10 for as long as you want to shoot Hours: Saturday 9 or 10am to 3pm So, the hours kinda suck, but the cost is great and the range is pretty good quality. I was just out there today to sight in a new AR and the lone range officer, as well as the only other shooter there were big help. I give them a lot of credit. |

You might want to take a look at Piqua Fish & Game. They are located on Spiker Rd off SR 185. I tried emailing them got no reply so I went in person. $65 a year....Trap/Skeet, Cowboy Action Shooting, Rifle & Pistol Range (175yds?), Archery. I joined yesterday and will attend the range orientation on the 26th. Nice clubhouse there also. Tom Fuller Greenville, OH |
