New gun owner in Dayton, Oh

Hello,

New to forums from Dayton, Oh.

I just recently purchased a new pistol as my first handgun. Now, all I need to do is to shoot the thing. But, I do NOT want to go to a firing range to shoot it.

Does anyone who currently lives in the Dayton, Oh or Miami Valley area know of any good shooting spots out in the woods?

Thanks

Walther P22.

I got some Winchester Xpert 22's 36GR. I hope to god I don't have any problems with the feed.

I figured I would start out small with like a .22 and work my way up to higher calibers as time goes on.

Welcome to G&G tjvbryant. Also, congrats on your recent purchase. What is it and what caliber?
If you do go out into the woods or anything, just make sure it is legal to do where you plan on going. Don't lose it, or the privilege as soon as you get it.

I have not fired it yet. I have spent alot of time looking and field stripping the gun. I also did alot of research, looking at videos, etc. on this gun so I can get a better understanding of it before I shoot it. I plan on going on someones private property where discharge of firearms are not enforced by the county. I don't plan to trespass on private property. I am planning on asking some people I know to see if they have some property I can shoot on. Thanks to all for the comments and welcomes.

Hey feller ! Welcome to Gun and Game !!! Now why do you not want to go to a range ?
There's plenty of folks there that want to show off what they know about guns and can be a big Hep to you.
So tote yourself on down to the shoot'in range and I betcha you'll have a good time and you might even make some new friends.
And one of them might be a good look'in blue eyed blond with big baba's that's single and look'in for a shoot'in feller !!!
Happens all the time...A.H

Always best to get to know your gun before you shoot it. Have to agree with ArkansasHunter about the range. If you have one around. Sounds like his range is more "loaded" than the ones I'm used to.

I can understand the guy not wanting to go to a range, he might not have a free one around his area. Even when I was a member of one, I was a tad shy to do the indoor range in winter. Now, if that blonde was there....

HAHA...thanks

I'm thinking I just might have to go to the range...I'm itchin to shoot this sucker. The cheapest range nearby charges $14 an hour...might not be a bad price. Almost all other ones require a memebership...don't want to pay $300/yr and go only..at most..4 or 5 times...waste of money.

Wow, $300! Nearest one to me is $95 for the first year and $75 each year after that. Thou, they do make you pay to use the indoor range. Yeah yeah, gotta pay for the heat/ac and the lights. I'll sweat or freeze it out on the out door range.

Welcome to G&G, and you're starting out on the right track! Get to know the firearm, and then get permission for a place to shoot it. But, what's wrong with going to a range? Fromal ranges are run by rangemasters who are good sources of information, and expert with firearms. Check it out!!
