A little late to the party but have you seen https://www.ohioairgunners.com They arent too far from you.

I'm down in Newark. I have COA thats an hour away from me. Ive considered seeing if theres any interest in setting one up at dillon sportsmans club at dillon lake. This would give options for newark and zanesville shooters. Ive also considered checking into buckeye shooting center in newark for an indoor option. However, either option will have regular firearms going too not the tranquility of air rifles.

Yes we have COA but sadly after running groups, I know how so few will travel if its inconvenient or more than 30 minutes away unless they are very passionate about it. Too often they will make excuses etc.
 
I’m on the border in PA. I’m only 30mins from Youngstown and would definitely be down for a group hunt in either state! Please let me know if you start a new thread or exchange info I’d be down to join!
I'm really really close, as I am in Youngstown. Many public lands within ~30 min from me. I've went out a few times, but didn't have too much luck. One place had a plenty though, and the ground was covered in acorns.

I actually have never really even hunted public lands, always on my in laws farm land...That being said I am surely down to do some airgunning this year if its more than just me going (No one around me cares about airguns lol).
