What is the rifle range at Troy? 100,200?

Middeltown Sportsmen Association. No 3 gun action going on but it's close.

I've been a member for several years. A regular member pays his $150 fee each year and uses the facilities. An active member only pays $50 per year, but works pretty hard mowing, repairing things, painting, cleaning up brass, building range shelters and target stands, etc.

It's still $5? I haven't been there in about 5 years...it's a great value for what it is.

OP, there is Fairfield Club and Miami Valley in Batavia. I haven't ben to either but Miami seems to get great reports and Fairfield just the opposite.

SpringValley requires either a 1-day or 1-year range pass. $5/$24 They all expire in Feb. So plan accordingly. Mine is up in two days I have to remember to stop at Dicks or Wally world and renew.

Year is so worth it if you plan on going more that twice. Just for the convinience aspect.

The place is super nice and has been crowded lately. 100yd is usually slow. But not allways. I go allmost every weekend.

The staff is just fine. Follow the rules and you will be ok. Can you imagine all the fucktards they deal with all day long? You would be pissy in no time I'm sure.

When my trigger finger gets itchy, my brother, dad and I usually head out to Miami Valley Shooting Grounds. Then we leave after about 2 hours mostly from disappointment and kill joy range masters. The range wasn’t bad when it first re-opened my dad used to shoot there back in the 70’s and he loved it and it closed for a while and then some retired cops decided to reopen the range. My first trip out was in December of 2009.
All 3 of us had gotten Mosin-Nagants for Christmas. It was just a desk with a cash register and some decent ranges a 50/100 yard rifle and like 10m pistol. After the word got out to the locals it started to fill up, which means no more fun. Most of the range masters are old crotchety men whom at the first sign of fun drop and iron fist on the fun.
The first time, my brother whom is trained Air Force/ and Army National Guard was partaking in a sustained ar-15 30 round mag dump , 3-5 round bursts off to the side of there precious target stands shooting at an old rubber tractor tire someone had placed down there. The range master hopped in his golf cart and zoomed over and proceeded to tell us that our shots where hitting the tire and ruining the target stands, which consist of a 2x4 cut in half and stuck into the ground with card board stapled to them. We tried to explain that we are shooting about 25 feet away from the stands into the proper side of the hill at bowling pins / clay pigeons and a tire that was on the ground. After our chat he sat in his golf cart and watched us shoot and every time we would do a mag change he would call a cease fire for new shooters to post targets. We were the only three folks at the range. It used to be my range of choice now it’s more of a hassle to go there. Vandalia Armory and range is grossly over priced but it is a lovely facility. Springvalley is about an hour drive. So most of the time I go to my grand parents house and shoot my bb gun at my paper targets and act like its and ar-15…

im pretty sure you can shoot pistols at the 50 yard line as well (ive even seen people shooting pistols at the 100 yard range but i never noticed if the RO got on them about it or not). its actually a very nice range that you can go for $24 a year. it does get very crowded on warmer days.

Anyone following the impending opening of The Great American Outpost in Rio Grande? Looks like it's going to be fantastic! Follow them on Facebook for pictures and plans because their website isn't much to look at yet. Linky

Okay, I've done lots of research but can't seem to find the magic bullet, as it were. I'm on the east side of Cincy (Anderson Township, to be exact). I've lived here for 10 years but only recently got back into firearm collecting/shooting. I cannot for the life of me find a conveniently located (say within 45 minutes or so) rifle range that is open to the public in & around Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky. It's ironic, because I've lived in less gun-friendly areas that have more places to shoot. Due to family commitments I have very little (if any) "me" time each week, which is why it needs to be relatively close.

I'd consider joining a club, but it seems that the only conveniently-located club for me is Miami Rifle & Pistol and they're booked for new member orientation classes for the rest of the year.

Any recommendations?

NE Ohio, looking for a good range with rentals, preferably indoor. I have heard not-so-good things about stonewall, and Sherwin is a dump. Where can I go around here to try out some guns?

Closest I've found is Shooter's Supply in Independence, KY (http://www.shootersupply.net/site/)

All indoor, 25 yards, long guns permitted (but caliber restrictions apply). It's much closer than MR&P, WAY cheaper, but sadly, only the 25 yard range. Fingers are crossed that One Shot's new range will offer a longer distance shoot... if they ever open.
