OHIO — On Nov. 10, the day before Veterans Day, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources will welcome veterans to use some of the public shooting ranges for free. 

The shooting range permit will be waived for veterans on all Division of Wildlife Class A, B, and C shooting ranges for that day. 

ODNR said it’s making it free as a thank you for their service. A variety of firearms will be available to use for free as well. Equipment, ear and eye protection, as well as ammunition will be provided.

Individuals can visit these two class A ranges between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Nov. 10 to get specialized instruction:

  • Delaware Wildlife Area: 1110 State Route 229 in Ashley

  • Spring Valley Wildlife Area: 3570 Houston Rd. in Waynesville

Other than Nov. 10, everyone 18 and older are required to purchase a shooting range permit for the Division of Wildlife Class A, B and C ranges. They can be purchased through the Ohio Wildlife Licensing System or on the HuntFish OH mobile app.
