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 are not just for experienced shooters, the OSU Pistol Club is a great enviornment for first time shooters to learn. 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. Member dues are $10 per week or $60 per quarter. Member dues cover firearms, targets, ammunition, and ear/eye protection. All members must take a short safety class in order to ensure compliance with safety rules and precautions. Those wishing to become members 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. Members may use their own ammunition after an Officer verifies the ammunition complies with range rules. Members may also bring their own firearms to use, as long as the firearm is transported in accordance with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and is .22 LR caliber. All firearms also must undergo inspection by an Officer before being used on the range, and the President must be notified. Members may also purchase additional rounds of ammunition at $2 per fifty rounds.
We also host shooting for clubs, organizations, celebrations, RA programs, and other parties upon request. If your group is interested, please e-mail Tyler Steube, the Club President.
