North Florida Shooters

[srttim]

I live near Daytona and it seems 200 yds is about the longest range i can find.

srttim, here's a link to 600 yard range just off Rt 301 and north of Gainsville. I've been there and it's nice.

Bradford Sportsmen's Farm - Home

Here's a link to a 1000 yard range south and a little east of Sarasota. I haven't been there yet.

Welcome to the Manatee Gun & Archery Club

From where you are I know it's a drive but, some folks don't mind so I thought I would pass along to you.

Charlie.

Anyone know of a good gunsmith in florida? I would like to rebarrel my R 700.

I live in Palm Coast, I am the rifle director at Flagler Gun and Archery club. We only have out to 200 yards so when I get the time I travel to Bradford Sportsmans Farm as well. They hold some really good matches. Heres the link for the matches: Home

LR6mmBR, thanks for the info. Wish it wasn't so darn far.

To the felllas in St. Johns. I am Fruit Cove and am looking to try out the range near starke also. I would love some shooting partners as close as you guys are.

 

[LR6mmBR]

LR6mmBR, thanks for the info. Wish it wasn't so darn far.

Distance is a matter of mind over matter.....hahaha....many in our circle of shooters frequently travel up to Ft. Benning, River Bend (Dahlonega Georgia) Ft Butner NC, Palo Alto, Louisiana and even Carthage, Texas....so look around you there may be more shooting events than you think......

 

[Chas1]

74fencer, welcome, glad to have you here. Lots of good folks and lots of good info. What kind of rifles and calibers do you shoot?

 

[74fencer]

Hey bud thanks for the welcome ! I Just purchased a Savage in 308 and am currently getting it set up with base, rings and scope. Wow it gets expensive quick!

 

[Chas1]

Expensive yes that's why I try to buy what I want and the right stuff one time now...I've learned my lesson in the past. Next time I'm going I'll look you up and see if we can't get together to do some shooting. it'll be a while just alot going on. Good luck with the new rig. Enjoy.

 

[74fencer]

I also have alot going on but i am going to try & fit this new hobby in. Pm me when you want to get together. If you do not care i may hit you up for a question here or there. Thanks J
