I am visiting Columbus and need some advice on a good sporting clays range thats fairly close and open to public. Thanks in advance H.

The Cardinal Center, I70, exit 140, opened a new course last year. I haven't shot it yet. http://cardinalcentercamp.com/

Thanks Sam - I called them and they have something going on tomorrow that is going to shut the clays range down. Will try them next time. We have settled on Black Wing. Appreciate the help and would still appreciate other advice in regard to shooting in the area as my son has moved there.

Hidden Haven is south of Lancaster and Handlebar is just north of Mt. Gilead. Either one is about an hour out of Columbus.

It's hard to dislike Blackwing. Great place.

Briar Rabbit in Zanesville east of Columbus, has two excellent sporting clay courses, a hundred bird fairly difficult course and a 50 bird easy to moderate course also most reasonable course in the area. They have a moderately difficult 5 stand, pistol bays and ranges and a fairly long(400-500 yard) rifle range.New owner and many improvements. go to wwwbriarrabbit.com
