Welcome to The Ohio State University Pistol Club,
Where Fellowship, Marksmanship, and Tradition Thrive!

The Ohio State University Pistol Club was formed to teach basic handgun safety and marksmanship skills in a safe, friendly, and convenient environment. Our experienced instructors provide hands-on learning, including firearms safety and marksmanship techniques. We welcome both beginners and experienced shooters. Being a college student is all about trying new things, and we welcome you to join us! In fact, we welcome all university students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests of said persons!

Joining The Ohio State University Pistol Club is easy! We meet every Thursday of the quarter from 7:00pm until 9:30pm. Meetings are located at the Lieutenant Hugh W. Wylie Range in Converse Hall. We have two types of members: Full Members, and Weekly Members. Full Members pay $60, which includes membership status for the quarter, and an Ohio State University Pistol Club t-shirt. Weekly Members pay $10 each week of the quarter they attend. In addition, weekly members who attend six or more meetings per quarter will automatically become full members. Member dues cover firearms, targets, ammunition, and ear/eye protection. All members must take a brief safety class each quarter in order to ensure compliance with safety rules and precautions. Those wishing to become members, either Full or Weekly, must present a valid photo ID. A BuckID, Driver's License, Military ID card, other government issued ID cards or a passport are all acceptable forms of identification.

All available firearms use .22 Long Rifle solid bullets. Both Full Members and Weekly Members may purchase additional rounds of ammunition at $2 per fifty rounds. We supply members with semi-automatic pistols; however, single and double action revolvers are available, as are multiple rifles. Weekly members may request to use any of these firearms except for the Henry Lever Action Rifle, the Tula TOZ-78, and the Heritage Rough Rider. These firearms are reserved for Full Members only.

We also host shooting for clubs, organizations, sororities, fraternities, RA programs, and others upon request. If your group is interested, please e-mail Tyler Steube, the Club President.
