I just watched part of Rusty’s video about the movie The Bubble. In the first 10 minutes they show people shooting handguns at an outdoor range. Is there one in The Villages? I don’t mean the Airgun Ranges. These were firearms. Thanks in advance.

I believe the only one is in the Ocala National Forest, I do not have the details, but I am sure you can do an internet search and find it.

There’s not an outdoor range in the villages - just the air gun ranges.
Goes to show, you can believe everything you see on the internet.

You may want to contact the STRAIGHT SHOOTERS CLUB, yup there is a club for most everything. Joining is inexpensive, they offer many interesting things. Far as outdoor ranges there are many of them. A problem at many outdoor ranges is little control.
The club takes over the range and controls it.

Thanks, I’ve been there. At this time I’m not interested in joining a club.

There are shooting ranges in the area. One that comes to mind is Ares Training Range in Leesburg. If you want to shoot at an outdoor range, in most cases you will need a membership.

The shooting range in the Ocala national Forest is about 35 minutes from me and I live on the Orange Blossom side. It’s a great range and also includes a skeet shooting area off to the right. Some caveats though; do not go on the weekends because it’s too crowded and be sure to construct your own freestanding targets. Let me know and I’ll send you an image of the cheap one I made.

You must be rich, if you can afford ammo…
my aim isn’t what it used to be, but standing closer to the target helps…. less splatter
keep your barrel clean & your martini dry

Based on this question I suspect the movie is another anti-Villages biased movie.

True. My wife and I have shot there. It is a bear to find (our GPS was pretty confused; we found it pretty much by accident). It offers both pistol and rifle options for shooting. It is pretty laid-back; the "office" is a card table under a tree, but they know what they are doing. Bring hearing protection.

Another option is indoor shooting at Shooter's World here in TV. State-of-the-art but a bit pricey.

Heh. Reminds me of that old song:

"I miss my ex-wife...but my aim is getting better"

Just another false information video, there is no outdoor shooting range in the Villages, I guess the video was just trying to make a negative point. But if you want to go to one, there are a few in the outside area, but most are members only.

No there’s no gun ranges in TV, only air guns. It makes sense if TV would have a gun range ( real guns) it would have to be in a safer place than TV. Real gun have a lot more range & they would be to dangerous!
