The forums have been hosted for some time now out of my pocket. We are coming up on the annual domain renewal for ohioccwforums.org and I pay roughly $20/month to keep the forums online. I do this to maintain the long-standing history of discussions here indexed in Google, and so that people have a place to discuss this topic outside of modern social media censorship. If you enjoy the forums and you'd like to help offset the cost, please consider a venmo donation here

As the title says - are there any decent, reasonably - priced ranges here in OH?
Back where I moved from, there was a 800 - yard rifle range that was built in part with grant money from the NRA (?) - $10 for the whole day, and all you needed to show was your NRA card.
Here in OH, rates seem to go BY THE HOUR!
Imagine my shock when I was quoted rates of $15 an hour for an indoor pistol range...
If my price expectations are unrealistic, then I'd settle for whatever ranges you'd recommend
Yeah, that's about the going rate for indoor ranges around here.
But, there are other options - become a member of a range like Tusco Rifle club and shoot as much as you want for the annual membership fee (in the case of Tusco, $100/year). There are also Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) ranges you can shoot at, as I recall you can get an annual pass for $25 or a single-day pass for $5 for the supervised ranges, and unsupervised ranges are free.
Beyond that, unless you know someone with property you can shoot at, that's about it.
Where are you located, someone might be able to give more specific recommendations.

Yeeep.
There was this apartment complex I was considering in the area at one point - only to find that there was a wastewater processing facility within walking distance north!!!

Vance Outdoors in Columbus (Obetz) is a nice indoor range. Clean. Modern, electric target carriers. They have a dozen or so rifle bays and a couple dozen pistol bays. They have a particularly good “happy hour” Tues-Thurs 2pm-5pm which is 1-hour for $10. I shoot there several times a year and always have a good time.
For a long time I didn't go to an indoor range because I thought I was above it. Well I tried it out and I couldn't be happier with my membership. While I can't do all the fun stuff I can still work on a lot of the fundamentals, and now I will make sure to work in these drills too!
More specifically around Cuyahoga Falls.
