Tusco Rifle Club

Founded in 1934 and affiliated with the NRA since its inception, the Tusco Rifle Club spans 360 acres in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, serving as a private, family-oriented facility that promotes firearm safety, education, and competitive shooting. With eight distinct ranges, including a dedicated 600-yard practice range, the club provides a strong foundation for long-range and high-power rifle disciplines.

‍

The 600-yard range supports centerfire rifles, rifle-caliber pistols, and even 50 BMG with prior orientation. Shooters are expected to use paper targets on raised stands or authorized metal targets. Covered benches are available at 200, 300, and 600 yards. Though prone shooting isn't explicitly mentioned, it's a typical posture for users of this type of range.

‍

Other facilities include:

• A 300-yard main range for high-power and black powder matches
• A 50-foot indoor range (rimfire only, open 24/7 to members)
• 50- and 100-yard outdoor bays for pistol, cowboy action, and law enforcement qualification

‍

Range rules prohibit full-auto use, require elevated targets, and maintain strict safety standards—no alcohol or drugs, sign-in required, and outdoor ranges operate 8:00 AM to dusk.
While the public may attend scheduled events (e.g., IHMSA championships, buffalo shoots, youth programs), full access is reserved for members only. The annual family membership is $100, with a $50 initiation fee waived if members volunteer 10 hours within their first year. Applications must be submitted in person, accompanied by a sponsor, and a completed background check.

‍

Ideal for long-range enthusiasts, black powder shooters, and firearm-educated families, Tusco stands out as a legacy club with a modern reach.
