Premier Shooting & Training Center is a family-owned indoor shooting range and training facility at 4845 Premier Way in West Chester, Ohio, serving the Greater Cincinnati area. It has operated since 2016 and sits just off Route 747 / Princeton-Glendale Road, immediately south of Union Center Boulevard, next to Queen City Harley Davidson. The shooting range is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday 11am to 7pm and Sunday 11am to 6pm, and closed Mondays.
The range has 20 climate-controlled indoor lanes, each 25 yards (75 feet) long, with adjustable lighting and steady shooting benches. A Pro-Touch target retrieval system with a 10.1-inch touchscreen lets shooters set targets anywhere from 3 to 25 yards. The remodeled range is split into two bays: the Member Bay for everyday sessions and the Tactical Bay for downrange scenarios. Handguns and rifles up to .308 are allowed; .338 and .50 are excluded. Shotguns are limited to slugs and 00 buckshot. Range Safety Officers are on site every session, and all shooting stalls are wheelchair accessible.
Training covers both armed and unarmed skills. Ohio CCW certification is offered as an in-person full-day class or as an online hybrid with an in-person qualification session. New and inexperienced shooters complete a one-hour, one-on-one Personal Safety Officer (PSO) live-fire session before shooting independently, and a no-live-fire simulator session is also available. Other offerings include Skill Builder and Performance Pistol classes, Intro to Practical Shooting, USPSA open practice, holster certification, firearm cleaning sessions, video coaching, private instruction, and online courses. Saturday fitness and basic self-defense classes run in the on-site dojo, and Judo, Kenpo, Cincy MMA and Meyer Martial Arts operate from the facility.

Plan your visit
What to bring: Valid government-issued photo ID. Closed-toe shoes. Optionally sign the range waiver online before your visit to save check-in time. Eye and ear protection, targets and ammo can be rented or bought on site.
Ammo policy: Handguns and rifles up to .308; .338 and .50 excluded. Prohibited: black powder, steel shot, steel core, steel/aluminum jacketed, armor-piercing, bi-metal, tracer, incendiary, gas, explosive and reloaded ammunition (if it sticks to a magnet it is not allowed). Shotguns: slugs and 00 buckshot only; no birdshot or target loads. Own ammo must be factory-boxed and is subject to inspection at check-in. Rental firearms must use ammo purchased at the range. No muzzleloaders.
Age policy: Minimum age to use the range is 10. All minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and validated by staff as able to handle a firearm safely and follow range commands. Shooters must be 18 to rent or use rifles and shotguns independently and 21 to rent or use handguns independently. Website entry requires being 18 or older.
Rental requirements: 90+ rental firearms. Rental ammo must be purchased at the range. After paying for a rental you may switch firearms within the same caliber; a different caliber requires buying that ammo, and switching from handgun to rifle requires a separate rental payment. Non-U.S. citizens must meet federal documentation rules (passport, Green Card, or hunting license depending on country) and some must book a PSO session; rental guns and ammo must stay on premises.
Dress code: Closed-toe shoes are required on the range floor. A high-neck shirt is strongly recommended to prevent hot brass burns.
First-timer tips: Everyone in a lane party must show safe firearm handling. First-time or out-of-practice shooters complete a 1-hour Personal Safety Officer (PSO) session ($99, second shooter free); booking in advance is recommended. A no-live-fire simulator session is also available. Let the RSO know before shooting if you want to collect your brass.
