There are several gun/shooting clubs in The Villages (TV). All are great.
The Villages Straight Shooters (
Home) is the largest club with the most resources of our clubs. An outstanding resource for any gun owner, but especially for a newbie.
“This club is a social organization that brings together Villagers who have a common interest in collecting or shooting a variety of firearm types, for their own enjoyment, and who are interested in promoting the safe use of firearms in general. The club can provide a forum for its members to share their enjoyment of firearms and shooting, and be a clearing house for information relating to shooting events in the Central Florida area.
The club does not sponsor or support any one event or shooting discipline over another. The club may also provide or arrange for educational opportunities for shooters relating to firearm safety and licensing, firearms training, care and maintenance, swap-type get-togethers, and a social atmosphere where members can "talk guns & shooting" and other mutual interests.”
The Villages Trap, Skeet, and Sporting Clays Club (
About) is another awesome and very active group in TV.
“The Club’s Mission is to encourage a social exchange in addition to shooting measure. The Villages Trap Skeet and Sporting Clays Club promotes the safe, organized & consistent participation in community clay shooting events."
The Villages Air Gun Club (
The Villages Air Gun Club - Home ) is yet another active group in TV.
“The mission of The Villages Air Gun Club is to foster the development of air gun shooting by providing opportunities for members and guests. The Villages Air Gun Club will provide a safe venue for shooting, by providing organized shooting competitions, fellowship and good sportsmanship and by providing opportunities for family activities while keeping firearm safety paramount in pursuit of all these activities.”
Shooters World (
Villages Indoor Shooting Range and Gun Store • Shooters World ) is a Terrific, clean, well-maintained indoor shooting range with very reasonable prices (see attached photo)
In addition, there is an excellent outdoor range nearby in Leesburg called Ares Training Facility (
Ares Training Facility - Shooting Range, Firearms Training). They won the award for Best Shooting Range in Florida for 2023. There are some excellent instructors at this range. I can personally recommend Sarah Williamson (for both women AND MEN). She is an outstanding marksman and patient, effective teacher. (
US Women'''s Shooting Academy)
Joining any/all of these clubs will not only give you access to all kinds of knowledge and skills, it will fast track your social connections in TV. Welcome to your next hometown!

Looking for a club that likes to teach since I only have a few hundred rounds so far.
