Shooter's World Brownwood. When indoors at Rec Ctr, a bazillion members are there. Watch out, your Queen may be snatched up by one of the 94% male members.

My husband and I enjoy The Gun Shop on 44. The range price is Cheap and I love the nostalgia items too. You can get your concealed carry permit too with the class they offer.

I am a Silver member of Shooters World in The Villages. There are other levels of membership with different benefits. There are two pistol ranges and one rifle range. You can shoot standing or sitting with a rest. Ventilation is excellent and there is a cleanup station and a small cafe. Ranges have a range marshal. They have a very large retail store where you can buy guns, ammo and shooting supplies. Ammo is expensive so I buy mine online. They have various classes and you can get your CC permit there. They are family oriented and there are many ladies. Sales people are helpful and knowledgeable. If you buy a gun there you get a lifetime warranty. I bought two guns there and the process was easy. There is a gunsmith who knows what he is doing and prices were reasonable. The Gun Shop on Rt 44 is a smaller range but also good and the employees very helpful. They also sell firearms and take trades or outright purchase. There is also an air gun club in The Villages with a range.

If you don't mind a 30 minute drive then check out Eustis Gun Club. All outside, very safe, must be a member or guest of a member. They have several pistol ranges and rifle ranges.

Default amo shortage

I've been calling around this am for gun ranges - shortage of amo w people preparing for the November riots. Shooters world is the most expensive range around but has guns and amo in stock so will buy my new gun from them.

There has been an ammo shortage long before any riots started.
Even primers/powder for reloading are in short supply.
Glad I bought a lifetime supply in 2006, costs have tripled+ since then.

There is an indoor pistol/rifle range right in TV. They have a nice store and gunsmiths on site. I've not shot there yet but intend to. TV also has air rifle sites and clubs and archery ranges. They have a "sporting clays" club that uses Black Jacks I believe.

It's right next to the new 7-11.

Shot there a couple of times. Ventilation is poor, no AC on the range. Not much cheaper than Shooters World with great ventilation and AC.

And the Range on 44 is suppose to be lead loaded.
