Re: Long Shot Range/Homestead FL/500 yards
So I finally took a drive to this place on 304 street SW and 117 avenue to take a look. The gate was closed at the time with a stop sign that had a bunch of bullet holes in it. I can you that the access road is full of pot holes due to the regular use of heavy farm equipment on it. If you drive a nice car, you may not want to use it there during the rainy season. I also looked it up on another forum, and found a thread where the person in charge had gotten in an argument with some of it's members. The only thing that troubled me about that was he made comments about not needing the public to support his range. That there was already plenty of government agency's lined up to use the range.
This coming from an individual who I understand was running for some form of local office, and asked the public to vote for him. Same guy who asked the local public shooting community to come out and support him for approval at the zoning hearings. Im certainly hoping that the public will have an opportunity to use this private range, and that he will conduct himself professionally, and courteously, considering all the support he has gotten from the public.
It's funny how most politicians forget what they promised after they get what they want. I know this only affects the local guys in south Florida, and it's no one else's fight, but a little support from all who care about their sport keeps the opposition in check. Once all the smoke clears, and the facts are out, I will post again. Thank you.
