Indian Hill Gun Club operates shooting ranges at Camp Dennison on State Route 126, built on 31 acres purchased in 1958 from the federal government. What's now a modern shooting facility once served as a Civil War post and later a National Guard training ground.
The history runs deep. Village Rangers practiced at ranges dating back decades, eventually winning trophies in local and national competitions. The club's Junior Rifle Club (1962-1983) trained up to 100 youths aged 12-18, who competed at Camp Perry and won first-place trophies in Ohio state competitions for five consecutive years.
The facility includes two separate ranges:
- •Police Range - Used by Indian Hill Rangers (reserved Mondays) and 45+ other organizations including Hamilton County Police Association and Secret Service. Open daily except Sundays with mandatory regular practice for all officers.
- •Civilian Range ("The Pit") - Member-operated range on the lower level with two distinct shooting areas:
| Facility | Distances | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Stationary targets | 25 feet to 100 yards | Pistol and rifle practice |
| Moving targets | Variable | Skeet, trap, sporting clays |
Family memberships include weekend range access. Members also participate in Tuesday and Thursday evening shotgun shoots. A Range Supervisor or assistant is on-site whenever the range is open, offering informal instruction and enforcing strict safety protocols.
Safety First - Eye protection and earplugs mandatory. All youths must be accompanied by a parent. Buzzers and flashing lights signal cease-fire conditions.
Members range from hunters honing marksmanship to recreational shooters. According to club members, "shooting is a perishable skill" requiring consistent practice to maintain proficiency.
