Well with River Side Range down "Till God only knows" We are very limted in N.E.Ohio.
Stone Wall, Will let you shoot Rifles on limited days, of Mon,Wed,Fri. And you can only load one round into the mag at a time. So YES, They are beging very careful with rifles. And seem very handgun friendly. Another Indoor range we found is in Canal Fulton,Ohio Is Handgun,carbine in pistol cailbers, Rimfire rifle ONLY. NO AR's There are some Indoor ranges in Lake Co., But I am not up on there location. And as for the ODNR range in Trumbull Co., I beleave they are CLOSED the months of JAN.FEB, and maybe they reopen in mid march depending on the weather. But I know for sure they are not speed shooting freindly at all. NO BURSTS... As per the range master... |

Slash I used to be a member of UCOA but unless they do any expasion of this facility it's to crouded. on a nice day you almost need a rangemaster just to get some time in a lane pistol or rifle. For $25 a year when I was their not to upsetting, u might not like some of the senoirs that take up bench space thinking it's a coffe shop!

I appologize if i missed it somewhere in this thread, but the range at Spring Valley off 42 south of Xenia is a nice ODNR range.
I've watched it come a long way in the last 10 years. I remember when it was just a dirt backstop and you could shoot clay pidgeons laying on the ground. Now the firing line is covered, there's nice shooting benches, and there's target posts with wire strung between them to hang targets. It has my vote for a local, close to home outdoor rifle friendly range. I go to Lauhorners in Springfield to shoot pistols indoors. |

No, DCF&G is not "full-auto" friendly. According to their rules, "Fully automatic weapons ("machine guns") are not permitted to be fired on the range. Firearms with selector switches that will permit full automatic firing are also banned."
Semi-auto seems to be OK, but no "bump firing" ("Shooters will allow at least 3 seconds to elapse between shots or they may be asked to leave.") and they aren't keen on hi capacity mags (over 10 rounds.) Their rules state "It is preferred that all centerfire rifles will be loaded one round at a time. Rimfire .22's may be loaded with no more than 10 rounds at a time. However, NO firearm shall be loaded with more than 10 rounds at any time." Since I currently only have 30-round mags for my WASR, when I go there, I would only put 10 rounds (or less) in them. My two bolt actions (K-31 and M-44) take 6 and 5 rounds respectively, so those aren't be out of bounds. For $25 a year for you and your immediate family, that's not a bad deal, even with the restrictions. Plus you don't have to be an NRA member like some other ranges require. Hopefully you can find a place to fire full auto. That sounds like fun! |

well it looks like I wont be joining back up with the DCF&G afterall..... I like to practice with full capacity in my weapons , for work, which means 14 rounds of 45acp, an shooting double taps into my target.. , not to mention going from my carbine into a transition to a side arm.....
Guess i will stick with the other ranges i belong to , an continue drving 50 miles to shoot......  colt! |

I wonder if that could be changed if it was that long ago. I found the web site and somewhat ask that question just to see what kind of response I got. I don’t think the forums get that much traffic may take awhile. My brother shoots trap at MSC I’ll let him check on it.

I noticed that the Ohio Div. of wildlife website lists a couple of "unsupervised" rifle ranges. Has any one ever gone to one of these? I am hesitant to go to one solo, having seen some very suspect behavior at informal "range" back in California. I'd like the chance to do some fast semi-auto shooting and practce drawing from a holster without ticking off a rangemaster.
It lists Monroe Lake Wildlife Area Tranquility Wildlife Area Wolf Creek Wildlife Area As having class b unsupervised ranges. Anybody ever been to one of these? What did you think? Thanks. |

Andy, Pick a field. Many of the farms up that way have their own backstops. One guy my dad worked with had a 400yd range. Another guy up that way has 200yd setup. Heck, I've been known to shoot up at my friend's family's farm. But I try not to bring out the big guns (not a proper backstop and too many new houses popping up) and no FA... there are too many sheeple from the city moving to the country... complaining about farm smells and dust/dirt from harvesting...We have all been royally screwwed since Millers was shut down. That was my main shooting area.I joined Troy Fish and Game, but haven't been up to shoot, yet, since the weather has been so cruddy and it is the opposite way from all my travels. |

Where is a place to shoot near Wooster? Im not familiar with the area, dont even live there yet. Im looking for a range that allows for rapid fire, allows you to shoot and move, within reason, where I can wear body armor without everyone calling the police. Does such a range exist?

East of Troy on LeFever Road. I haven't been there in years, so I don't know if it has changed or not but it was poorly supervised with immediate access to the bar. They had a 100 yard range along with a shorter pistol range. |

So I've been going through all the listings and it seems that the closest trap and skeet range to greater Cleveland is A&A. Since I'm starting a club on college campus, an hour's drive to the country every time may not be completely practical. Anyone know of a closer place?
Heck, maybe I should just start my own clay range! |

The Streetsboro Sportsmans Assoc. is geared more for someone who wants to shoot competitivly. They shoot just about anything you can think of and if you have a new idea and there is enough interest you can have a new match. I'm not sure how easy it is to become a member though. I maybe wrong but you probably have to get sponsored by an active member or two and I know you have to put in a certain number of hours of service to stay active. There are some great shooters with tons of info. If you like to shoot a wide range of firearms its a nice range. I can tell you they do not want yahoo's who just want a place to blast away at tin cans or come out 2 days before deer season to sight in their rifle. If you are interested I can put you in touch with the president of the club.

Miami Valley Rifle and Pistol is at full capacity. Rumor has it they are going to limit membership.
Fairfield Sportsmen Association recently told me they will never reopen the range, not even the 100 yard. I have been a member for 25 years and feel totally screwed by the shot gun snobs. We had discussions some time ago about how to reopen it but they didn't go anywhere. |

I went out to the A&A Shooting Club range in Portage County today. Their web site advertises hours during weekdays 8-4. I showed up at 9:30 AM. It is on a farm property in Nelson Township near the sports car race track. Anyway, I pulled in and saw the sign about stopping at the front house to sign in and pay for the first hour. I rang the bell and knocked for 30 minutes. Drove farther in and looked around but not a soul or vehicle in sight. I turned around and left.hat
I have a new AR15 and a new pistol I wanted to start breaking in and get a good BZO on the iron sights. I guess I'll have to try the ODNR Grand River range, but it is about an hour drive vs. 30 minutes to A&A. Anyone have a positive experience with A&A? |

I went and spent the day at the ODNR Grand River target range in Farmington today, and wow - it was really nice! 25, 50, and 100 yd ranges with a Range Safety Officer on duty, covered shooting stalls with shooting benches on a concrete pad with a concrete walk out to the backstop berm, and an irrigated (sprinklered) lawn. You are allowed to eat or smoke while in the stalls if you bring your own refreshments, and there is a porta-john that wasn't stinky even though it was 90 degrees out.
I live in Portage County and it took me 40 minutes to get there. I think it is worth the drive from most points in Portage, Summit, Geauga, Lake, and of course Trumbull counties. I was the only one there with a black rifle, but the dozen or so other shooters I encountered there on a weekday were all cordial and friendly and the RSO was a real nice fella. |

Every day I drive past a gun range at 39.186656, -84.291090 (dump the latitude and longitude into maps.google.com and zoom in).
It's located in Camp Dennison, basically between Indian Hill and Milford on Cincinnati's east side, on OH-126 (aka Glendale-Milford Road in this stretch). Looks like a 100 yard range, but I can not find any information about this place. Nothing at all. There's no signs, other than 'Warning - Active Firing Range' and 'No Unauthorized Access' on the fence and gate. I know it's still an active range because I sometimes hear gunfire as I drive past. Maybe it's a police training only range? Any LEO's in here know this place? Jordan |
