Select Fire Training Center’s FAQ Page

Please review our Frequently Asked Questions below.
If you don’t find an answer to your question, stop in or contact us to discuss.

I have never shot a gun before, can I come in and shoot?

Yes, we are very beginner friendly. We will give you some instruction in the shop before you go on the range, and we always have a Range Safety Officer on duty, who may be able to give you some added help on the range if it isn’t too busy.

We do also offer introduction classes, or we can arrange a private lesson for you.

All new range shooters need to fill out our Waivers also found under THE RANGE section and fill out the forms prior to coming in, you may also fill out your waiver at our facility.

I don't have a firearms license, can I still shoot at your range?

In Ohio you do not need to have any sort of specialized license to shoot or purchase a firearm. While Ohio is a Constitutional Carry State, we offer a CCW Firearm Class for those who wish to obtain their Concealed Carry License. We have a post about the differences and similarities here: Ohio’s Constitutional Carry – Do I Need a CCW Now
