I went to the Eustis Gun Club range as a guest in July of 2012, myself and two members to fire pistols. We had one of those pistol berms to ourselves. We pretty much did as we wanted since no one else was shooting, a little limited on distance, I think it was 25 yards. Then we went to the 100 yard range and watched some rifle shooters. Nice range, everyone was friendly, one person even let my shoot his AR style 22 rifle and I ended up buying one similar.

I didn't join for a couple of reasons. I think to join it would of cost about $200 the first year and then about $175 every year after that, which I didn't think I would probably go more than 2 or 3 times a year. It's also not like it right here on 466A, it was a good 40 minute drive each way. Lastly, the entrance road was close to 1/2 mile long dirt road. This was the summer and the road was muddy as hell, I would have to wash my car everytime I went to this place. I would think with 1500 members each paying $175 they could afford to pave that road. Maybe they have since then, I don't know. That's what I thought in 2012 and for now, I can't wait for one of these two new places to open here in TV.
