By all accounts this is a Fudd range. As in this is not for dynamic shooting of any kind. They have a a myriad of rules, no full auto, one round every two seconds, you have to shoot off the bench. This range is for the old folks. Dudes are friendly for the most part but don’t come here to shoot anything with training value. A better range for that would be salt waters in Saint Augustine.

I took my 6 year old for the first time to shoot his .22, and he had an amazing time. The uniquely generous receptionist Ann was a pleasure to talk to, and one of the safety officers offered my son a brownie too. The experience was enjoyable enough that I ended up signing up for the year, and will likely transition to a lifetime member. After experiencing a range like this, it's impossible to go back to a indoor range. This place really is awesome, and I'm very thankful they're around.

Awesome place for some outdoor shooting, they offer many different target options as well as distances. The staff is helpful and the prices are reasonable. After one visit you'll want to be a member.

My father in law enrolled as a member and two of us paid the daily rate. There is a mandatory safety brief with test (~30 minutes), which one has to score 100%. All three of us are experienced and were pretty much on autopilot. We shot rifle in 25, 50 and 100 and pistol. The rifle line had other shooters so we had to coordinate range cold and hot. We were the only shooters on our pistol range so we were faster here. Don't forget tape, binos and florescent stickers.

Is it still fuddy? Why do you have to have 2 seconds between shots? Why can't you shoot silloette targets with the heads visible? How can you train to defend yourself? I guess the place is run by a bunch of old fudds who think the second amendment is for hunting eh?

Birman Brothers | Sep 9, 2019

On the members only side of the range you can shoot rapid fire. You cannot shoot rapid fire on any of the ranges facing the road. You can also draw from a holster, and walk your lane as long as you stay the same distance as anyone else on the lane. (They cant be in front or you.)

Joshua Lanahan | Sep 9, 2019

I want to say it was like 140 and the first year you pay an additional 140 for an indoctrination fee or something but that's only the first year. They do have a lifetime membership as well I think it was based on 10 years worth of annuals

If I bring my children how old do they have to be to shoot? How many children are allowed with 2 adults?

Miguel C | Sep 9, 2019
Antwan G. | Sep 9, 2019

There is no age requirement to shoot at a range in Florida. Anyone under the age of 18 must be supervised meaning that while 1 child shoots an adult must watch and be able to physically take control of the firearm (and or child). To be clear, the adult can't even be holding another weapon. Each child will have their own day pass unless they are under the age of 16. I haven't seen a limit to the amount of children or size of family using day passes. In this case, call the desk to verify. Desk staff are always helpful.

What's the guidance on ar pistols with Shockwave blades and sig braces? I tried calling but the phone must be off the hook...

Erick Gemaehlich | Sep 9, 2018
Brian Smith | Sep 9, 2018

I shot my AR out there with no problems. And yes it was the designated rifle area. I believe there's a 50 and 75 yard target area as well as 100 yards and so on. As far as the Shockwave, they have one spot for any and all shotguns. I also shot a CZ Scorpion with a brace at the rifle area. Better to ask than ask for forgiveness. Most rangers are pretty cool. Hope that helped. ✌ stay safe.

I have a 12gauge 3 inc mag and the only field shells i cab find are #4 . Can i shoot these at the range?

Steve Phillips | Sep 9, 2018
MISTY CONNER | Sep 9, 2018

With a 3inch 12g chamber you can buy a box of regular 2 and 3/4. Not sure what you plan on shooting at though. 4 is a little big for anything other than patterning and hunting medium game. Yes you can pattern any thing you want. They have a couple places for you pattern shot guns here.

Will Goodman | Sep 9, 2018

Their ammo prices are fair but you can find less expensive in town. Add targets, highlighted cover dots (to place on your shots after iterations), masking tape and binos on your shopping list.
