There's enough guys on the forum from Ohio. Why don't we all get together and have a range day or something? I'm sure it's been brought up before but I haven't seen anything about it yet. It would be fun.

Target World anyone? Its in Sharonville

 

[theqbn]

That would be cool. I'm in the dayton-springfield area, but sharonville isn't too bad of a drive.

 

[keby]

That wouldn't be too bad. How about Ohio Valley in Lancaster Ohio. It's kind of a center point for all of us to meet.

i was going to suggest something similar. but for later in the spring. and for a weekend.


we havea campground/lake/out door gun range/ state park we could all meet at?

 

[keby]

If there were a big outdoor range around that would be cool. There are none that I know of though. Anyone else know of anything?

 

[bullseye]

hrmm let me ask a friend of mine later this week when i see him, he has a place him and his pops go for the weekend and they do nothing but camp out and shoot all weekend. From what I remember him telling me it is a HUGE (like 10k acres huge) area full of query's forest and abandon mines somewhere in mid/Nw ohio.

The only nice big place I remember going to when I was still a Boy Scout was like Slate Run park? Which is nice, I don't think they have any ranges though. The couple of outdoor ranges I've been to around here were private only so I'm not sure. Ohio Valley is ok too, it isn't too expensive and there's one fee to pay and they don't charge by the hour. I just would prefer to shoot outside somewhere. I go to Ohio Valley every once and a while, I usually go to my friends uncle's house with him.

Delaware wildlife Area. They have an outdoor range with new benches. A local car club I belong to is having a meet up there in late April.

That actually sounds like a really good idea. Would anyone be interested in doing this and we could set up a date to do it?

 

[blueb3]

Think they are all going to be up there on april 25th? It's going to be a big group, so it might be a bit crowded. I might be up there if I get my CCP and gun by then.

there is a place about 30 miles north of Delaware State Park, Meeker Sportsman Club, http://www.meekersportsmanclub.com/
that might be a option.

OOOps, Meeker sprtsmans club allows ONLY members to shoot on the property

 

[blueb3]

Deleware only requires a "shooting permit" which can be obtained at someplace like Wal-mart.

I would be game. I dont know of any places near me worth a toot though.

 

[9mmXfactor]

we have an outdoor range. and campground really close. enough to hold probably everybody. we have a 25 yard range 100/50 yard range. probably 10 - 20 people could use at a time. i have pics of the camp ground and lake that you can rent canoes on. its "strouds run" state park. i dont know how close everybody is to ATHENS ohio though. any takers???

 

[theqbn]

Athens is 2h away for me which is about the limit of how far I'd go... but not out of the question.

 

[keby]

I'm down with Athens.

 

[keby]

So let's all think about doing something on a weekend in the spring. Maybe some camping/shooting. That would be a lot of fun.
