Education

Whether you're headed to the woods on a monthly basis or like to get some practice every few weeks with your firearms, local gun clubs are the ideal training ground for individuals who love the outdoor lifestyle. Gun clubs vary, in that some focus on handguns while others are more centered around hunting. The way that they are all similar is that you'll find a safe space to train and meet other individuals who share your interest in shooting. Here are a couple of local clubs that you can check out the next time you're ready for some practice!

Richwood Gun and Game Club

At the Richwood Gun and Game Club, you'll find practical training, junior shooting, high-powered rifle ranges, pistol bays, trap shooting and even intra-club competitions. This friendly community is constantly busy with meetings, matches, and events — all centered around your favorite firearm-based activities. You'll find their range rules clearly posted on their website to limit confusion and promote a feeling of safety for all of their members. 

Training opportunities abound at the Richwood Gun and Game Club, with a variety of courses including United States Concealed Handgun License classes, fundamentals of intuitive defense shooting and adaptive pistol use. These courses are taught by some of the top professionals in Ohio who are focused on sharing their years of experience and knowledge with others. Intuitive defensive shooting, for instance, shares tips and techniques for how to react in a critical defensive situation so you can work with — and not against — your body's natural defense mechanisms. 

Waldo Sportsman's Club

The Waldo Sportsman's Club is a private club that provides shooting ranges for their members. Their activities often involve kids and youth, encouraging the next generation to get back to nature and learn vital hunting, fishing and protective skills that will benefit them in the future. Archery ranges and trap areas are in the works within this thriving club, with their strong belief in community outreach. 

Not everyone has the benefit of being able to do target practice in their backyard. A shooting club is an ideal option for getting back to nature and staying in practice with your skills. These are only a few of the many great shooting ranges in our area; you'll find more in Part 2 of our blog series! Before you hit the range, be sure to stock up on your favorite hunting, fishing and shooting supplies at Norton Sporting Goods in Waldo, OH.
