Ohio state policy · NOT specific to this range
Tier C

Implied permit — state framework is airgun-friendly but rules are silent.

ODNR ranges open to weapons permitted for hunting — airguns included

Evidence OH Administrative Code 1501:3-6-04(H): "Persons shall use or fire on ranges only those weapons permitted for legal hunting in Ohio." Airguns are permitted for OH hunting (small game, big game with airbow). Therefore airguns permitted at OH state forest target ranges.

State-level restrictions No centerfire on ranges <50 yards. Range Permit required (Class A/B/C ranges).

This describes Ohio state-level airgun law. Rules at this specific range may be stricter — always confirm with the range directly before traveling.

Always call ahead.

Range policies change — sometimes mid-season. Indoor lanes update caliber rules, clubs revise membership requirements, and public ranges suspend airgun access without warning. Confirm current policy by phone or website before you make the trip.
