Since TV doesn't own this project or the land, there's no way they're helping out merchants that are competing with their rental property across the street in Pinellas Plaza. Unless TV was to buy the corner lot next to Trailwinds, then something might happen.

Maybe it is the shooter's world location. However, other tenants were named but not shooter's world. Just begs the question if this is their location (or not).

I like to take the road of wait and see if there is or isn't golf cart path. I allow other things to cloud my thoughts.

Shooter's World?
 

There is another commercial development being done at the corner of 441 and Fennell. That is the corner by the Lady Lake Government office and near the post office. I was told the Shooter's World is coming to that location. There's some documentation out there in the past also! There is no way that Trailwinds will be golf cart accessible since The Villages developer has nothing to do with it.

Agree with this thought by BTK.....Nothing that has been made public at any of the Wildwood Planning Board or Town Council meetings to date has indicated that a shooting range will be included in this 466A Trailwinds development.

However, at the other end of 466A, in the other new development being put in, there HAS been mention in builder/business owner documents and plans submitted to the Lady Lake Council & Planning Board of intentions to include an indoor shooting range in their facility - but nothing on the scale of what Shooter's World will be building.

My guess, with what Shooter's World owners have said so far (i.e., Sumter County, golf cart accessible), is that it will be part of the development on Rt. 44 & Morse Blvd - the new Lake Deaton Plaza site with Publix & Citizens First in so far. That would meet both of the criteria seen in the press so far. With ground supposedly breaking by early Jan., it won't be long before the actual site is revealed. And, I might add....not a moment too soon!! :)

I don't know about that location, but on 441/27 south of there across from the Columbia Parcar Shop is where this business wants to move. Here is a news story from last June 20th in The Villages online news:

Big crowd shows up to hear proposal for indoor gun range

BY META MINTON JUNE 20, 2016

A big crowd showed up Monday night for a conceptual presentation of a proposed indoor gun range on U.S. Hwy. 27/441.

The facility would be built on a 12-acre parcel located just north of the Lady Lake Realty Site, north of Griffin View Drive and east of U.S. Hwy. 27/441, near the Orange Barn. The 24,150-square-foot building would include a 20-lane tactical and bull’s eye indoor gun range. It would also include a gun shop and educational area.

Basics Range and Gun LLC would operate the gun range and has the property under contract. The company already operates a gun range in Orange Park...

THE VILLAGES

- For the third year in a row, The Villages is the fastest growing community in the United States.
- The Villages is made up of affluent, conservative, and active retirees. There are also several towns in the area we would serve easily by building on 441.
- The Villages currently has a shooting club with 2,000 members but no place to shoot. They currently have to travel to enjoy a shooting range.
- We have very limited competition.
- We have an excellent location approximately one third mile south of 466 (major corridor to the villages) on 441.
Our current range is growing and prospering. Our wholesome, family-oriented business plan fits here and will fit in The Villages. We built our range and we developed and built the buildings in which the range is situated. Our prices are much lower than our competition because we saved money building it ourselves (we are contractors) and can pass that savings back to our members. We are only one of two ranges in the state, that we know of, which manufacture their own ammunition and our only goal was to beat big box stores regular ammo prices.
We allow our law enforcement agencies to use our range at cost and some agencies for free. We also teach women and children for free and we do many other things at no cost or limited cost which we feel benefits our community...we help.
Our business plans worked here and will work on a greater scale at The Villages.

No cart access
 

It was when The Villages Developer was going to develop the property. However Wildwood said no thanks.

Property is owned by Word Family LLC who are the dveloper. Maybe Barclay is the rental agent?

Negative. The Word Family and Barclay Group are partners.

I have been told by Shooter's World personnel that Shooter's World's contract with TV reserves the right to announce their new store to TV. Which is why Shooter's World has not made a public announcement. Thus, the new store is most likely on TV property. The site you refer to on 466a is not, I suspect there is more than one range planned. :MOJE_whot:

Everyone on here Guesses their Opinion and has not real information. What is the point?

New Shooting Range
 

Tradewinds Is, I Think Not Golf Cart Accessible, Because It Is In A Non Villages development. Maybe I'm Wrong.

In Reference To The New Shooting Range. Tradewinds, I Think, Is Not Golf Cart Accessible, Because No Trail Is On The North Side Of 466A At That Location.
