Frequently Asked Questions
CAN I HAVE A FIREARM SHIPPED TO MY HOUSE?
No, firearms can only be shipped to a FFL holder.
WHAT IS AN FFL?
FFL is a Federal Firearm License. You can find a FFL holder typically at gun shops, gun ranges, pawn shops, sporting good stores, and even individuals. Any firearms purchased on our website must be shipped to a local FFL holder of your choice in order for them to complete a background check and collect any documents that are required by state and federal law.
IS THE SHOOTING RANGE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC?
Absolutely! Everyone is welcome to come and shoot in our state-of-the-art indoor shooting range.
WHAT CAN I SHOOT ON THE RANGE?
Our range is rated to handle .338 Lapua in full-auto fire. Therefore, the range is capable of shooting nearly every household caliber in Ohio.
WHAT CANNOT BE SHOT ON THE RANGE?
The following types of ammo are absolutely outlawed from being shot in our range for safety purposes: No armor piercing ammo or steel core ammo, No steel-case ammo unless purchased from Buckeye Shooting Center that day, No tracers, No shotguns (except slugs), No exotic ammo (i.e. Dragon's Breath, Bucking Bull, Rhodesian Jungle, etc.), No bi-metal cased ammo, and anything a Safety Officer deems unsafe. NOTE! A magnet test will be preformed on all ammo that customers bring to shoot. If your ammo fails the magnet test, you will be asked to place that ammo back in your vehicle prior to being allowed on the range.
CAN I BRING MY OWN AMMO?
You sure can! We want you to enjoy the facility regardless of where you purchased your ammo from.
CAN I SHOOT RELOADS?

WHAT IF I HAVE A MALFUNCTION?
Alert the Safety Officer immediately while keeping the barrel pointed in a safe direction, at your target, down range. They will assist you to ensure the firearm is safe.
I LIVE IN A COMPLIANT STATE, WILL YOU SEND A GUN TO MY FFL AND THE MAGAZINES TO A DIFFERENT STATE?
No. The firearms come, and go, as packaged from the factory. Buckeye Shooting Center will not break up a factory box to skirt local laws. Do not ask, it will not happen.
