BFA's Linda Walker to speak at Central Ohio's Dillon Sportsman Center Grand Opening Event April 27

by Aaron Kirkingburg

The Dillon Sportsman Center is under new management and will be re-opening April 27th at 9am to welcome the public. Trap and skeet fields will be open, and all houses have been outfitted with new Atlas AT400 machines. Signup sheets for trap and skeet leagues will be available in the range house. The 100yd rifle range has six cement shooting benches available, with room to set up some prone positions left of the covered lanes. Our 25yd covered pistol range has ten lanes available with room for two shooters on each lane. Permanent cable system set at 25yds to attach targets or hang steel and bowling pins!

Free food and drinks will be served! Grill will be fired up around noon with burgers and dogs to blast away that hunger you built up on the range. Guest speaker Linda Walker, Buckeye Firearms Association Central Ohio Chair and member of the NRA Board of Directors, will address those present at around 1:00pm to get everyone fired up and informed about the goings on at the state house with BFA, and nationally with the NRA!

A gun raffle will be held around 2pm or so. A Smith and Wesson M&P .22 pistol will be raffled off for the benefit of Buckeye Firearms Foundation. Tickets will go on sale in the range house at 9am for $10/ea. No limit to the number of tickets you can buy, but you must be present to win.

Memberships and fees are as follows: $6hr rifle and pistol range, $6/round for trap or skeet (1 round = 25 birds). Yearly membership will be available at $100 for an individual, and $150 for a family. Membership benefits include $2 off per hr on rifle and pistol range and $1 off per round of trap or skeet. We will also provide FFL transfers at no cost for members! In addition, there will be "member only" activities throughout the year you will be invited to attend.

Expanded hours will make it much more convenient to come out and enjoy some shooting. The facility will now be open: Monday - Friday 4pm to 9pm, Saturday-Sunday 9am to 9pm

So bring your friends and family out for a day at the range. Come find out what sort of changes are in store for Dillon Sportsman Center. Or come out for your first visit and find out where we are!
