The outdoor range is closed.

Since 1953, the Miami Valley Shooting Grounds has proudly served the Dayton and Vandalia, Ohio community as one of the region’s oldest and most trusted shooting ranges. For more than five generations, local families have trained here—learning safe firearm handling, marksmanship, and responsible recreation.

Over the decades, our range has provided a welcoming environment for CCW (Concealed Carry) classes, first-time shooters, and experienced marksmen alike. Safety and education have always been our highest priorities.

Due to passage of a City of Vandalia ordinance that prohibits privately owned outdoor shooting ranges, our outdoor facilities are no longer permitted to operate. While this decision was made without our input or agreement, we remain committed to complying with city regulations and to offering the best indoor range experience possible for our members and guests.

We appreciate the continued loyalty and support of the Miami Valley community and will share updates as they become available. Visit us to experience one of Ohio’s longest-running, family-friendly indoor shooting facilities—where tradition, safety, and skill come together under one roof.
