Re: N.E. Florida ?
Last I heard, there is a problem with a county ordnance that won't allow 50 cal so everything is on hold. I have no idea how accurate that info is. That is local rumor mill.

Re: N.E. Florida ?
Its not that far from St Augustine, take 95 south to 44, hang a right and you run right into it. Its 65 miles at the most.

That may be a long way off. The membership just voted to purchase the land. Due to their current location the potential exists that they could be eventually shut down. Bordering residential areas and airports typically spells a death sentence for any range. The plan is to buy the new land and develop it slowly. How slowly is anyone's guess.

Re: N.E. Florida ?
Been working on the platform area for a couple of weeks now.
The 840/850 berm is now being constructed. Concrete,fill,benches
and some grading still need to be done. They would really like
some help in this project. Alot of the local shooters involved in the construction process.

Looking at the schedule on their website, it looks like the 800yd range will be open this month!

Re: N.E. Florida ?
What does it cost to shoot at Bradford? I might try to get out there this weekend and shoot my new LTR. Anything I should bring with me besides the obvious?

Re: N.E. Florida ?
Cost is $20.00 for all day. Don't have to be a member and they let you shoot prone or sitting or any other ways that are safe.
Pack a lunch unless you don't eat much. You will only be able to use the 3 hundred yd range.
Take care and good shooting.

Re: N.E. Florida ?
BattleAxe, not all those matches are team matches. Most of those matches are individual but they shoot two shooters at a time to help speed up the down time. You do not have to have a partner to participate.
Hope to see you there.

Thanks Mark!
When you say I'll only be able to use the 300yd range, is that bc the 600 (new 800) yd range is closed for the upgrade, or bc it's members only?
Oh and should I bring some sort of shooting mat for shooting prone?

Re: N.E. Florida ?
Matt,yes for the mat. When the 800 yd range is open you will be able to shoot there without membership. Pay your $ and you can
use all the pistol and rifle ranges they have.

Good to know. I may not make this one but will definately get out there for the next. I may even get a membership to be able to shoot those distances regularly.

Re: N.E. Florida ?
I shot at Bradford for a while when lived in the Gator Nation. Great people, awsome range. they let you shoot pretty much anything. Its nice to see they are moving to 800. Like someone else said bring something to eat. Nothing very close.

Also, do I need to bring my own targets? Can I buy them there?

Yes to bringing your own targets. Cardboard if you have it and a stapler would help.
I'll be there at 9:00, ask for Mark.

Simple, just take I-10W out to 301, head south until you pass through Starke (DON'T SPEED lol) and take Co Rd 227 to the dirt entrance road. You'll see a giant sign that says "Bradford Sporting Clays" or something to that effect, go to the end of the dirt road and you're there. I'll probably be going back wednesday Apr 28th if you want to meet up!

Re: N.E. Florida ?
The 850 yd range is probably going to be closed for at least
another 2 weeks. The benches are being built and the tops are
a week or two from being delivered.
You can always shoot the 300 yd range.

Re: N.E. Florida ?
Well fellows, the Sanderson project is done. Between the 50decibal ordnance and the opposition, most of which were hunters, it got shot down. Pisses me off too. The op runs dogs and shoots up the world but doesn't want to hear a gun shot unless it's theirs. The zoning board was playing politics and caved in. Could be wrong but I believe the closest home was about 3 miles away from the proposed 1k range site.
