Ohio shooters: need a rifle range recommendation

...specifically in the Dayton/Fairborn area. I'm moved in and have to get back in form with my .243 for my antelope hunt this coming August. That said, it seems that I took for granted just how much space and shooting range availability I had out in the Nevada desert for practicing out well beyond 400 yards. Here, I have yet to find a place within reasonable driving distance offering anything more than 250 yards.
Any recommendations would be most helpful. Thanks!

Accuracy: because white space between bullet holes drives me insane.

I would recommend calling a few local shooting clubs. The trap shooters are a friendly bunch and you just might find a new sport.

I called these guys up last week, but it looks like the farthest they go is 90 yards or so. There is a public range in Spring Valley, but the weekday hours are gonna be tough to make after work (8am-6pm) and I figure the weekends are likely going to be slammed. The base no longer has a rifle range of any kind and does trap/skeep/archery only. I have a membership there, but have yet to use it. A few other places I called I left messages but never got a call back. As alpha suggested, I may end up having to do the Indiana drive to get in the shooting I need. It may be a long drive, but you can't put a price on practice leading up to a hunt.

Great idea! :up: I will be making a few calls. I completely forgot how bad the ground hogs can get out this way, as I did see one standing full upright recently.
I have a buddy in Logan who offered me access to a private 1000 yard range.
You too, Jbp.

I'll wear one, if you will!
It needs to have a mule/donkey somewhere in the logo

If you want to meet some time and shoot as a guest and check it out, let me know.

No doubt. We're going to finalize the plans here soon. Once we're sure we can make it happen, I'll let you know.
