AimHi is a family-owned retail gun store and indoor shooting range at 10299 Johnstown Rd in New Albany, Ohio, in the Columbus metro area. The facility combines a range, a classroom-based training program, a gun store and a gunsmithing service under one roof.
The range has two indoor lines. The pistol range has 6 positions at 50 feet and accepts handguns up to .44 Smith & Wesson Special. The second range has 6 positions at 25 yards and accepts rifles and pistols up to 300 Win Mag and 375 H&H. Targets are computer-controlled, so shooters can set the target at the distance they want. An air filtration system moves lead dust and burnt powder down and away from the shooter. Steel shot, unjacketed lead and steel ammunition are prohibited, with exceptions for .22 rimfire, shotgun ammunition and cowboy ammunition. Muzzleloaders and black powder are not allowed.
Training covers Ohio 8-hour Concealed Carry, First Shots, Ladies First Shots, Intro to AR-15, Teens On Target, a Personal & Home Defense series, Save a Life: Control the Bleed, a three-class Defensive Handgun series, private lessons and private group classes. AimHi Private Security Academy also teaches the OPOTA Private Security Firearms 20-hour basic and 4-hour requalification courses. All classes are held on the indoor ranges next to the classroom, and the facility is wheelchair accessible. The site states that its instructors work full-time in firearms training.
Range fees are per visit, not per hour. Non-members pay $25 per visit with no time limit. Three membership tiers (Basic, Premium and Platinum) let members shoot free on weekdays or every day, with discounted police and military pricing. Handguns and long guns rent for $15.
The store buys, trades and consigns most firearms and offers estate purchases and appraisals, NFA/silencer sales, transfers and gunsmithing. A GSSF/AimHi league and private or special events are also listed. Children under 18 shoot free when accompanied by a parent for members.
