Super photos from my trip to the range today. Loads of fun!!!
I had a blast!!!. This is taken at the Wyoming Antelope Range in Clearwater ,Florida. I met up with several friends a had a great time. The BirchWoodCasey target that you see is a 5.5 inch self adhesive. Distance is 25 yards. Factory sights only with a Walther P22 ,standing up only., Weaver stance.
The blackpowder you see is my friends. It is a 1847 Colt      |

That Colt was being used next to me. Met a new friend. The guy is into black powder. Interesting hobby, but I keep thinking that since God gave us the ability to invent semiauto, I'll stick with that ,and leave the gun powder to the -SPECIAL- folks.

Thanks, I had fun shooting.
Its both a public and membership range. Excellent facilities to accomodate every kind of shooter. For the general public its $15/day. For members its $3/day. Memberships is $160/first year, and $90 for subsequent years. Bullseye targets are 50 cents for three. Silloheoutte are also available. There are 10yd/15yd/25yd/50yd/and 100yd facilities. There is also Cowboy action. Concealed Carry clases. NRA safety classes. etc,etc.etc. |

nice pics!! wonder what it would take to get something like that started here in my area?! i can imagine the liability would be outrageous. the closest thing to me like that is more than 30 mins away & i never seem to have the time.......

The range master said it cost them $400,000 to build the facilities . The liability is nominal, since we are in the back of an industrial park , full of factories and quarrys. Its an awesome place to shoot. I became a full fledged member several months ago.

ya, i'll bet it was expensive to build that facility!! LOL ~ but ya know, having a hubby that does that kinda stuff, should help out in that department!  this used to be COUNTRY, but alot of people are moving out this way. so, i'd imagine the liability would be outrageous. hmmm... wonder where we could set something like that up at?! i've been trying to talk my cousin into opening up a firing range, but he's scared of the liability.

The fact that I spent 8,000 dollars renewing my farm liability, what would a gun range liability cost? Very prohibitive I would imagine. Stick to established ranges I guess. Don
