Location of Shooters World Identified
 
The initial announcement said in the area of Brownwood.

An article in today's Daily Sun is more specific: "... completed lease negotiations last week to build a 50,000-square-foot retail store, shooting range and training facilities at the northeast corner of Powell Road and County Road 44A ..."

This is an empty lot west of Perry Villas, between the villas and Powell Road. If you are familiar with that area, you know that there is a golf cart path which goes from Eisenhower Rec Center westward to "nowhere." Well, the cart path will lead to Shooters World.

You can check "The Villages Straight Shooters Club" web site for updates.

A little off subject, but would like to know if anyone has purchased a gun at Shooters World in Tampa ? If so, are the prices fixed such as with Cabelas, Bass Pro Shops and Gander Mountain, or do they accept offers and " deal " ?

Not sure. If you are a member of The Villages Straight Shooters club, they give a discount. The club has bus trips there. Check the website.

If I try to take a golf cart that far , I'll forget why I'm doing it.......

I wonder how they will control the "sound level" from the range? It is very difficult to obtain a zero noise level. There are houses within a few hundred feet of that corner.

The Tampa location is in an old Circuit City building that has been expanded. I'm sure they added a lot of insulation along the way.

Yea, it's really disappointing that it's not going to be more centrally located. Somewhere around 466A would have been so much better.

By the time it is open it will be centrally located in The Villages.

It will soon be in the center of the Southern portion of TV

Seems like, from the north Villages it would almost be the same distance to the Ocala Forrest shooting range.

Has anyone been there? Opinions?

Oh it's such a long drive from 466a... Are we really spoiled or what. I doubt anyone will be going there every day. More like maybe once a monty!

Only outdoors. No range safety officers. Lots of milennials with AR-15's
