It is real.
 https://ohiodnr.gov/wps/portal/gov/odnr/discover-and-learn/safety-conservation/about-ODNR/news/spring-valley-archery-reopening The poor guy attending the Education Center will be asked a lot on the rifle/pistol range but he/she probably was told just smile! At least we can get close to take a peak on the secret construction project that takes almost 2 years.

Planning on opening the ranges in November.
As of right now, due to the china man flu nonsense, you'll have to make reservations to shoot. On line? By telephone? By mail? They don't know yet. I think they said a 75 minute time limit. Target holders will be supplied, frames made out of 2x2 pieces of wood that you will tape your targets to. Construction workers were there installing baffles. They aren't allowing people back there to take a look at the ranges. I was there about an hour, mostly just BS'ing. |

Another flyover from yesterday. I can't tell if the backstops are taller!

They said they are working on a reservation system to tie into the ODNR smartphone APP but it is not implemented yet. They did clarify it would not be required (except for CCW instructor area) but would allow you priority access if they are crowded.
They would also like you to provide them an estimate of the number of rounds you fired so they can keep lead distributed equally along the line to reduce hot spots full of lead. It will also allow them to determine when the backstop needs to be maintained to remove lead.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sorry ODNR. It was closed for too long. I joined Greene County Fish & Game. Here is a photo of the main delay. These baffles are HUGE. Stacked 2x4 on the front and 1 piece AR500 steel on the back. They said sourcing the AR500 was the hard part. They also increased the height of the previous berms by 20' so the combination of the berm and baffles gives you no way to see the sky from the normal shooting positions. JLE

Pretty cool they're finally opening back up, will have to go check them out. When going there to shoot, am I going to have an RSO up my ass the whole time, or do they just come around every so often?

Hard to tell, in the past it has not been an issue for me but others have reported differently.
I think all state ranges have a 'slow-fire' of one round per second or something rule but how closely that is enforced probably depends on the RSO working and the person doing the 'slow-fire' :) JLE |

Here are the baffles from the back showing just how large each piece of AR500 steel is.

Went the morning after the election. Was surprised with the amount of people already there.
Facility looks great (for now) and I hope it continues to stay that way. Kinda wish the check-in wasn’t perpendicular to the range. IMO, I feel like it should’ve faced the parking lot so you could actually listen/talk to the attendant. But I’m sure they had their reasonings |

Went to sv this past Sunday. Very nice. I was concerned it would be packed. 25 and 50 yard area was packed. 100 yard was busy but there was always a table or two open. On the 100 yard range, there are target holes every 25 yards. Ro said masks are required but only half the people were wearing them and nobody enforced it. The awning covering the firing line is very low. The ceiling is also kind of low. Definitely not as "open" as it used to be. It goes along with the no blue sky idea, they definitely made it so bullets go only into the back stop. Speaking of which, shooting only from the bench (or prone if youre by the path), so no standing to shoot, atleast at the 100.
The clay throwers are also a nice touch on the shotgun range. |
