Blasting? Come join us in St. Johns on Lake Okahumpka. During duck season the shot guns start at dawn. A great alarm just as the sun comes up. Several of the $1M+ homes with pools & view lots facing the lake have gone up for sale shortly after the one year mark.
I come from a house that was near a military shooting range, and my house isn't right on the lake, so it doesn't bother me much. But some of the people in the community Facebook group have been unpleasantly surprised and disturbed.
There are many considerations when buying a house. In a place like TV with both so many options and competition for lots, you really need to decide what is important to you. And you need to do some research into things that your sales agent will never tell you about.
The people here have certainly responded with both their concerns and why others' concerns are not theirs. Take it all with grains of salt and make your own choices.
FWIW, we did all that and had our eye on a particular house in a particular place. Then another house popped up and we bought based on a cell phone video tour. We love it. But, we had done all that research so when our current house popped up, we knew it checked lots of our boxes and we were able to move.
Good luck.
