Tranquility Wildlife Range
 
Just so you all know, Ohio is no big,sprawling Metropolis, this was taken on the way to the range.

Here's a little more of our Booming metro area.

This is part of about four miles of gravel wildlife area road we drive to get to the range, it's all like this.

Pretty nice area Dave, thanks for sharing!!!:)

I was kinda disappointed. I was hoping the Cylinder for the DW would get here yesterday but, oh well. I'll take more pics next time up there, and show the Chrono-testing for the 200grain .44mag loads I'm working up.

That's some pretty country, good-looking range.

Very nice Dave. It's good to have space and only need such a small number of rules that you can fit on a sign. I wish it were like that here. Unfortunately we have a 27 page rule book and urban sprawl all around us cropping up constantly wanting to try to shut us down.

Tranquility is a fairly large area Alex, nearest house to the range is about six miles. The ODNR gets around alot of antigun harrassment by placing the ranges in designated wildlife areas like this. Further, the Ohio house specifically put wording in the wildlife area laws that allows multi-use and specifically mentions target-shooting and hunting as legitimate uses.
