Gun/Shooting Range
I am curious why both the Gun Clubs in The Villages do not list on their websites The Gun Shop/Range on HW44 east of Brownwood a few miles. Seems to be the closest to the Villages, yet the Ocala Gun shops/ranges are recommended even though the distance is a bit furthur?

Good question

I have not been there yet but will be going soon. I have seen some posts stating the people were not friendly to the Village. No idea why. They are a business and want to make money. Anyone interested in making a visit send me a PM and we can set up a date to go to the range.
Thanks JR |

I've visited there several times and used the range,always were friendly and helpful.
Nice range,only wish you could shoot rifles everyday,not just Saturday. |
Perhaps it's because the one in Ocala is air conditioned with better ventilation and cooler in the summer months. They also have a classroom that is used by our gun club for some of their classes. You can do the classroom work and then go into the range for shooting.

I have used the Rt44 range and found it adequate for a quick gun check or practice session. It may be to small for large groups.
|
I have been shooting at both places very often and more at the Gunshop on route 44 because it is closer.
The difference in ventilation was not an issue....hence not remarkable....until seeing comments here by some. don't let the ventilation statements stop anybody from trying it out and forming one's own opinion.....everything in one way or another is relative...eh? |
Eustis Gun Club in Tavares has numerous outdoor ranges for shotguns, rifles and handguns.
|
All good information. Thanks for the input.

Fans inadequate for large groups.
I shot there once for a hour with a large group and my lungs felt like they did before I quit smoking cigarettes 36 years ago. I won't be back.

Rte 44 is definitely hot inside, but you are typically there for just an hour or so. Used to be $10 for an hour, last time I went it was flat $15 for as long as you want. They are close and convenient.
