Pick your range

     

Public means you can shoot it on a walk-in basis during normal hours, Thursday through Sunday. Rental means the space is reserved by the half or full day for instructors, groups and members. Several ranges are both.

Match & Event Ranges

           

Competitions run on dedicated ranges so the main line stays open to the public every weekend. Steel Challenge, Florida Multigun, APEX, 600-yard gong matches, benchrest, archery 3-D shoots and Steele Industries night events all have a home here — and hosts can bring their own.

Long-range qualification

     

How you earn your way out to 1,000 yards

     

We let shooters work up to longer distances as they demonstrate accuracy. Each qualification is recorded on a card in the office for a specific shooter, rifle and sighting-system combination — a second rifle means a second qualification. You do not need to be a member to qualify.

     
       
300Main lineShoot the main line out to 300 yards on your daily fee. Nothing to qualify for.
       
600Qualify at 300Five consecutive shots holding 2 MOA at 300 yards, all inside the black of a 6" Shoot-N-C or equivalent. Card issued in the office.
       
1,000Qualify at 600Five consecutive shots on an 8-inch target at 600 yards. Then the 1,000-yard gongs are yours for the daily fee plus $10 (member) or $15 (guest).
