Hello all,
I am looking for a range to join in the canton area. I'm hoping to find somewhere within a 30 min drive that won't have any issues with tactical/black rifle type shooting (multiple target arrays, pistol & AR at the same time, no 1 shot per 5 second type rules etc) So far I have found: Brown Township Sportsman Club in Malvern http://www.browntwpsportsmanclub.com/ Louisville Sportsmans Club in Louisville http://louisvillesportsmans.com/ Greenport Tactical Association in Canton http://www.greenport-tactical.com/ Alliance Rifle Club in Malvern http://www.alliancerifleclub.org/index.php The websites on the first two are somewhat thorough that it seems like i could get away with what I am after but they arent really set up for it. Im not sure on the last two as their websites arent as detailed on rules and membership. Does anyone have any experience with any of these or any other suggestions. Thanks |

Or just hit up the range, which goes out to 1,000. Briar Rabbit - Regularly scheduled pistol and rifle matches. Also host some pretty big national events for shotgun. IIRC, the girl in their pro shop told me they were selected for a big regional event for USPSA this year. For normal range time, their rifle range goes out to 700. Probably the best kept secret for paid memberships in the central-ish Ohio area. |

Hey guys. Now that I'm back in the Buckeye State, looking for a range. A pistol out and a 100yd rifle range is a minimum, but I'd like to know if there are any longer range places around Belmont County. I can still do Marshall County HFC in WV. They have a 200yd range. I don't mind driving a little, but something where I can place my target stand and shoot a little further would be nice.
I'm in Bridgeport, OH for distance reference. Thank you |

Hey, if any of you guys are in Cleveland, Parma, Brookpark area or surrounding 'burbs there is a brand new indoor range that opened up a couple years back, PARMA ARMORY. this is beautiful and outstanding range!!!!!!!
has 26 shooting stalls!!, 20 of them are on 2 levels!!! and a archery range. open 7 days a week, very well lit. 40 ft. distance. https://www.theparmaarmory.com/ranges/21-Gun-Salute-Range/ rifles can be fired, 5.56mm only, and none of this one round in the magazine only, that STONEWALL requires. I loaded up a 100 rd drum in my SLR-106ur, only thing you can't shoot is ammo that has a steel jacked bullet, whether it's 5.56 or pistol ammo, if the bullet sticks to a magnet you can't shoot it. |
|
|
continue
I stopped going to that "ghetto range" called STONEWALL a long, long time ago when the jack hole asked to see the gun I was shooting. showed him my SBR, then he asked to see the paperwork for it, I told him, "first let me see your LE credentials, because unless you're ATF or a cop I don't have to show you anything and not required to do so" fricken jackholes and their cardboard badges that think they are all of that, HATE THOSE TYPES WITH A PASSION!! |
|
|
and continue again
anyway, back to the range.......this was made specifically to be a shooting range!!!, not a gun store that had a afterthought to put in a few shooting stalls. they have what I would call a gun shop, but it's tiny and not much there, so if your expecting to see a lot of inventory, better go to the STONEWALL ghetto I usually go to the ODNR range Grand River by W. Farmington. but not during the summer! fricken humidity is oppressive, I go either in the early spring or fall and take that long drive, 1 hour 15 minutes, and usually end up getting caught in rush hour traffic on 480 coming back t |
|
|
and continue once more
this range is only 10-15 minutes from my house, and that is if I go 5 miles below the posted speed limit oh, and they do first responder/military discounts for range time. just have to show the person that assigns you a lane your ID. also, you have to swipe your CC, they won't charge you until you check out, and if you want to use your CC or pay in cash. they just put it on hold.....they had people come in shoot and run without paying |

Impact Shooting center in cleves is a nice range, members only.

View Quote I was in there before they were officially open. Their prices are insane. I sure m glad I have lots of places to shoot, with no fees or "rules". Reading through seom of this thread made me realize how lucky I am in that regard. |

I don't mind the drive and I like being able to shoot without a roof overhead. Unfortunately, word is that it is closing for at least a year to be rebuilt like the Delaware range. I've been to Delaware. It's a two hour drive for me and it's all under cover. Options in the Cleveland area are poor for an outdoor range. There are a couple in Amherst/Lorain that are $500 to $900 for the first year, and there are several "clubs" within an hour of me that are several hundred dollars to join, but they are really clubs and they want to see you working fish fries and other non shooting activities together with calendars crowded with matches that push members off the ranges. Long ago I belonged to ORCO in Ashtabula. The price was reasonable, but I moved too far away to use it. I belonged to the Cleveland Grays, but they decided that having an operating range detracted from their mission as a museum. Can't someone open a range in the Flats? |

View Quote I'm in the same boat as you. I go to Grand River sometimes, but only if I absolutely have to, say to sight in a rifle or something. However, it's an hour and a half drive. The Delaware range is nice as far as ODNR ranges go, but they still have the same stupid rules as every other one, and it's a two-hour drive. When I want to do some indoor pistol shooting, I do like Gun Hub in Sheffield, but only if I can get there when it's mostly empty. Being a public indoor range, there are always plenty of jackasses. The staff is generally super friendly and they do a good job of making sure the range stays safe, but I can't even count how many times I've been flagged there by other shooters. The only GOOD range I know of in the Lorain/Amherst/Elyria area where you can actually do cool things is NOTTC, but it's really only for classes and LE. |

Richwood gun and game club. Northern Union County and they like black rifles.

Looking for a decent range in the Mahoning Valley that has outdoor ranges.
So far all the clubs Ive been able to find are expensive and require a significant amount of time via work commitments. Coming from PA where the clubs have reasonable (under $100/year) membership fees and limited work requirements, its definitely a big change. Any insight would be appreciated! |

I got spoiled with my old club being 1 mile away |
