Anyone know of any ranges near or in clearwater. My family and i will be vacationing on the gulf near pier 60 in may and id like ro find a range while down there
Wyoming antelope club in Pinellas Park behind the airport. Non members for the day is $20 and the public range goes from 7yds up to 100yds. Their rules are pretty strick so no rapid fire or "Fun Shooting" but if you are looking to go throw a few rounds downrange it will do.
If you want to have a little more fun try Hernando Sportsmans Club about an hour north in Hernando county or Sarasota Shooting Club down in Myaki park about an hour south. Myaki park has a 1,000 yard range down to your pistol ranges. Not sure the cost there.
If you get desparate and money is no option there is Shoot Straight in Tampa on 301 south off of I4.
Problem with Florida is there is not really any "Land" to shoot on anymore. The State is so populated with old folks from up north and tourists (no offense it's big business) that trying to find a nice stretch of land to shoot on requires driving hours to find and then everything is private or owned by the State.
I always envy the guys out west that can literally hop in a truck for 10 minutes and be away from everyone to do what they want. Not like that here. Too crowded, too much traffic, too many idiots.
