Last year I went to both the
Eustis Gun Club Range and the
Ocala National Forest Range.
That was about a year ago, so from memory the Eustis Range has about 1500 members and are getting close to full. They charge $165 a year and have very nice covered ranges for 50 and 100 yards and smaller shotgun and pistol ranges. Also an obstacle course but you have to be qualified before you can use that. I went as a guest of a member and paid $5, once you've gone 4 times you must join if you want to continue going. It was a good ways from TV, took about 40 minutes. You have to go to a club meeting on Sunday morning and be voted in, or something like that.
The Ocala Nat'l Forest Range is free to the public, it's closed one day a week, see the website. It is much smaller than Eustis, there is about 12 covered shooting spots for 100 yards or less and then a second smaller range for shotguns. It's off Rt 40 about ten miles east of Ocala, but we found going up Rt 25 and then some other roads we were able to cut the trip much shorter. The main negative is there is no one in charge. I have read stories about not everyone putting their rifles down when others go down range. Also, you need to have someone watch your rifle when you go down range or it may be stolen. The day we went we had no problems. Just as we got there two spots opened up, so we didn't have to wait. It stayed packed the two hours we were shooting and everyone was pretty nice and knew the rules. You'll need to bring your own 2x4 or something to hold your targets.
I haven't been to the indoor range on Rt44 for a couple of reasons. I heard it wasn't air conditioned, just large fans. It was only 25 yards and you couldn't shoot rifles except on Saturday. Also the owner was sometimes not the friendliest person in town. That is just hearsay from the guys I know. Overall, Eustis is probably the best place of the two that I've visited.
There is also the
Dade City Range. That's south on I-75 toward Tampa about 50 miles. I have not visited this place, but from their website they look much like Eustis and is a little cheaper. $100 per year but the first year has an additional $100 initiation. They do allow shooting without membership but it's $40 a day.
