Independence Ohio gun range.

Post by carmen fovozzo »

I don't know much about it, but there is a gun range off of Pleasant Valley rd. right behind the Heidleberg Wine warehouse. What I do know is that it is suppose to be the oldest range in the State of Ohio. And it is private. Funny that Independence would have a gun range being so anti gun with all their parks posted. Just thought if anyone out there had any more info on it ?

Carmen,

If you map Rio Nero Dr. (the street Heidelberg Distributors is on) off W. Pleasant Valley, you'll see that the Cuyahoga Valley National Park property cuts in behind the warehouse.

If you use the Google Maps Satellite option, you'll see it's heavily wooded except for the high tension line right-of-way and a lot with a few buildings on the property that could possibly be some sort of range.

Looks like you would access it off Riverview Rd. where it dead-ends north of Brookside.

I'm interested in what you find out.

It is there, and it is a private club. From what I hear they don't even let Independence PD use it.

interesting. I can't find it on the NRA's list, but it would be nice to have one closer to home.

From what I hear, you would stand a better chance of being elected President of the U.S. then becoming a member there.

I attended one of their meetings one time with a member (now deceased). I regret not joining at the time.

IIRC, Sycamore Hill Gun Club or something close to that... Maybe Sycamore Hill Rifle

The good folks over at Avtron own the land and run the club IIRC.

stonewalls right down the street and they will take your money just fine. I-77 and Rt.82. Just miles away.
End the caliber wars. 12 gauge wins every time, just can't get one to fit in my smartcarry,yet.

true, but it's indoor and being the closest range to Cleveland, a very unsafe & scary environment at times.

I go there for the BASS shoots once a month. They are busy but seem to run a nice shop.

I've not had any problem there, but some of us prefer out door ranges.

I really miss my members only gun range back in Oklahoma.
