Member Link Up Cincinnati and Northern KY LR Shooters?

[Acer76]

I’m relocating to the Cincinnati area this summer. Things will be hectic for a while but work will settle and I will be in need of practice soon enough.

I need new connections and range options locally. Whenever I shoot, I like to make a day of it so I don’t mind driving a bit (~2.5hrs) to access 800+yds.

SH is a great community so I’m reaching out here first:

Anybody out there willing to offer suggestions? Feel free to PM me if you don’t like the idea of broadcasting any preferred spots —> I’ve seen some of my favorite public ranges ruined by careless and disrespectful folks who think they’re having fun.

I’m not averse to the idea of joining a club or group; past experience proves that exclusivity is a good thing, and the reality of the situation is it takes a little work, a little money, and a fair measure of respect and accountability to maintain a proper range.

200-1,000 yards, with the opportunity to shoot 1,100-2,300 occasionally. Shoot 2 weekends a month from about March through October.

NRA XC, MR, LR Nationals held on the same range; NRA ELR as well.

"Only" 600 yards, but a great place to shoot, very close for you, and a great group of guys. Great range for load testing and getting solid zeroes because it is relatively flat, but very sheltered.

Southern Indiana Precision. Quickly-developing range and group of shooters. A lot of KY shooters end up here, due to a lack of conventional LR ranges and competition in Kentucky.

Oak Ridge is one of the nastiest ranges east of the Mississippi. Look it up on aerial, versus prevailing WSW wind...

Nate and LRShooter101, many thanks for the helpful info!

Any other resources or knowledge to share out there, I know of at least 1 other relocating shooter you’re helping.

Much obliged.

Welcome, I just moved last fall to the Mason area. I have made it up to Thunder Valley once and Rayners twice. Thunder has Targets our to a mile and Rayners our to 1000 yards.

I am currently on the waitlist for Miami Gun club they have a 600 yard range but my understanding I will be waiting a while. They do hold public matches though.

For load Development I had been going to Sprinb Valley which is a state owned range but it’s closed till fall 2019. So I need to find something soon. Probably look into Middletown gun club.

Have you had any luck finding any places since moving to the area?
