Where's your favorite place to shoot? I've been dying to find a good, cheap outdoor range. I understand there's an ODNR range north of Cincy, but that's about an hour away. There's a state range somewhere further south in Kentucky too, but it is managed by a private club that seems really fucking gay.
Also, what's the best brick-and-mortar store to grab accessories and ammo? I usually buy my guns online and have them transferred, but I need a good shop to browse at. I've been to Point Blank a few times, and it just seemed so expensive and franchise-y. I want to hangout with fudds that are missing limbs from 'Nam and shit. That's the vibe I seek.
Thx retards
Cincy/ClerCo degen here. For outdoor ranges that do not suck, tranquility used to be the place. No RSO, out in the middle of nowhere. Currently undergoing reconstruction due to drainage issues and barrier needs a rebuild. Supposed to be done in like 2 years.
Indoor ranges, my favorite is Hammer Down in Goshen. Owner and his wife are cool, staff are cool. They have good lanes, decent prices, and a nice membership package. There is one guy there who looks like Hagrid but is full of sass and does great work gunsmithing. He is awesome to talk to.
Cool old shops to check out: Milford Gun Store and Switzer Arms, both on the main drag in Milford. The old fucker at Switzer is cantankerous at first, but he has incredible WW2 and Cold War stuff that's actually for sale. Once he figures out you are cool and not just there to finger fuck his stuff then leave, he will actually tell you some cool stories.
If you want to go outdoor shooting at a good range that's currently open, I recommend Keno shooting range in southern KY. It's in the middle of nowhere, there is no RSO, the nearby town of Somerset has plenty of gun stores and good eats.
If you seriously want a shooting buddy, message me and we can try to meet up. No, I'm not a glowie, just a fat guy who works for an auction house.
What are the gunshows in cincy like? always gthought about making the drive but didnt know if it was worth it? cleveland area are okay they were shit before with all dealers. not wiht dealers OOS we got used guns and parts tables and stuff. much better.
Full of fudds who are selling $800 mosins that were previously used as baseball bats. "No LOwBaLLerS I KNoW wHuT I GOt" is a common theme. I have not bought anything at a gun show for several years now because I cannot get drunk enough to justify the prices those baboons are selling shit at.
They remind me of the king of the hill episode that all the old fuckers sell their war trophies in.
