Trap, skeet, 5-stand, sporting clay. This was a super fun morning! We did the 100 sporting clays targets($42). There were 16 stations, 2 had 8 shots and the rest were 6. We did the red course which was mostly in the woods and a few were out in the open. The whole course took about 2.5 hours to complete and it was so much fun. Each station can be operated solo, with a friend or in a group. There was no rush and they even allow a test run of A & B so you can see where the clays are coming from. I can't wait to come back and try the Blue course and the other options they have. The course prices are a really good deal. My only complaint was that there was not enough signage to the clubhouse or on the course itself. We spent a little more time than needed looking for the clubhouse as well as walking around some extra paths unnecessarily. Now that I have been there and done the course it will be much easier to figure it out. read more

We really had a great time here. They have two sporting clays tracks (an easier one and a hard one). We did the easier one and had a blast! The price wasn't bad ($42 for 100 clays) and each station you get to see how each launcher is configured. Some stations you shoot six times and, a few you do eight. On the day we went it was gale force winds and in the 40's but loved it still. The wind made some shots impossible but I would go again tomorrow it was so fun. In many ways, it was very similar to pheasant hunting where they release the birds from a center tower. Signage is lacking: finding the clubhouse to 20 minutes and on the course we got lost once. Improving signage would make this five-stars. read more

This review is for the Cardinal Pistol Range located in Marengo, Ohio just a few miles from the main Cardinal Shooting Compound and Camping Center. I have been going to this outdoor shooting range for over a year now and I could not be happier. The range staff is top notch safety range officers and are more than happy to assist you in any way they can. Just make sure you follow safety protocols when handling a firearm and follow their specific instructions or you will be addressed appropriately. I love coming here because of the fact that it is an outdoor setting and the facility is very well kept up. You can shoot both paper and steel targets and two shooting positions to practice on. The price is very reasonable and it's even cheaper if you have an ODNR pass. I go out of my way to go there ( approx 30 min from my home ) because I know that when I get there, I will be treated professionally and courteously and I feel valued as a loyal repeat customer.

Great sporting clay destination. Everything was very clean and very professional. Throughout the day we noticed several people keeping the spent shells clean and the throwers full. Never had an issue. read more
