Gun targets have been a part of American culture for over 100 years. The first gun target was created in 1876 by George Armstrong Custer, the general during the Indian Wars. Gun targets were used to practice at home and on the battlefield. In 1933, Willoughby became the first town in Ohio to become an authorized city target area. In 1934, Willoughby became one of the few towns in America to issue its own gun targets. From 1934-1976, Willoughby made regular appearances on national television as part of "The Shooting Show." Since 1976, Willoughby has been Homecoming Day for the budget-minded community of about 25,000 people living within easy walking distance of each other on Muskingum River Trail (Mt Washington). Each year since then, Homecoming Day has included a daylong event with various activities from target shooting to arts and crafts . . . until today when it is just another day at the Target Center!

Willoughby is a small town in Trumbull County, Ohio, seat of the town. The population was 5,390 at the 2010 census. The first settlers in what is now Willoughby arrived from Pennsylvania in 1796. They were tenant farmers who had to work for their landlords rather than own land. In 1801, they formed a village on a parcel of land purchased from the state by Wm. Broughton and others as part of an effort to promote agriculture in the area. The village was organized as a town in 1818 when lots were sold for $1 per acre (about $ ). It became one of the most Republican towns in Trumbull County during the 19th century; it supported Andrew Johnson and James Buchanan during the presidential election of 1800 and 1824, respectively. In addition to its role as a center of trade and commerce, Willoughby also served as home to many important members of local government: two mayors; four trustees for Trumbull County; five school trustees; thirteen justices of peace; three assessors; six surveyors; and twenty-six firemen. In 1865, following rioting that occurred over issues with alcohol control near nearby Sandusky, Willoughby passed an ordinance forbidding public intoxication within its borders. The ordinance was repealed less than two years later after public outcry against it grew strong. After World War II ended and American factories closed down across much of Europe, demand for goods produced by American manufacturers increased in Willoughby—leading to an increase in job opportunities for locals employed in those manufacturing operations. This growth has led to steady development over time: housing prices have escalated since 2000 while median household incomes have stagnated or declined slightly over that period; commercial areas include several high-end retailers and restaurants along with smaller stores selling various items such as hardware and appliances;; while downtown remains largely unchanged since shortly before World War II except for some renovations which occurred during that decade's economic boom
Gun targets have been a popular pastime for many years. They can provide a great opportunity to shoot at something that is close, but also gives the shooter an idea of how far away things are. Targets can be made from any type of material, so they are perfect for use in indoor and outdoor shootings. There are many different types of targets available, so it is important to find one that will fit your needs.
The first firearms were created in Europe around the 12th century. The first firearms used lead bullets which didn't travel as far as today's ammunition. Firearms were also designed to be more accurate than they are now and effective at taking down game.
Willoughby, Ohio is a small town in the northwestern part of the United States. It is located on the Tilton River, about 20 miles north of Akron and 30 miles south of Cleveland. The population was 2,814 at the 2010 census. Willoughby is one of six towns in Summit County that form part of the Greater Cleveland Metropolitan Statistical Area. The other five towns are Ashtabula, Cuyahoga Falls, Euclid Heights, Medina and Strongsville. The town was founded by pioneers in 1811 as a trading post on the Tilton River. In 1813 it became a full-fledged village and was named for General Richard Willoughby who had fought in the American Revolution. By 1830, however, Willoughby had become an agricultural center with over 60 farms and ranches around its perimeter. Over time there were also several churches and schools within walking distance of each other as well as a post office and general store. In 1907 Willoughby voters passed a referendum to annex their neighboring village of Strongsville into the town limits. This annexation was finally accomplished in 1916 when both villages merged into one entity under the name of Wilcox Township. That same year another referendum resulted in the addition of Medina to Wilcox Township through consolidation with nearby Fairfield Village (which had been formed from parts of former Mentor Township). From then until 1959 all but two direct elections for township trustees were held at regular intervals instead of via special vote due to lack thereof within either township due to incorporation or boundary changes resulting from mergers or acquisitions by other municipalities within Summit County or elsewhere within Ohio during that time period
Willoughby was founded in 1796 by John Willoughby and his family. The town grew rapidly during the 1800s, becoming one of the most important manufacturing centers in Ohio. Over time, Willoughby became a center of education and culture, with many famous people moving to the town to pursue their interests. In 1922, Willoughby was incorporated as a village.
