Member Link Up North Florida or South Georgia long ranges?

[srv656s]

I moved to Jacksonville Florida recently and I'm looking for a decent place to shoot long range. I found a very close and convenient range, however it only goes out to about 80 yards. I'd like to do some 500+ yard shooting, but can't find anything nearby. I see there's a Manatee range in Myakka city, Florida but that's a good 4 hours from here. I'd be willing to drive a couple hours, but much farther's obviously not ideal.

Thanks-

Shawn

Oh man... just saw the sticky on the new range in Baker, Florida. That's not too far from me... http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3179838#Post3179838

Crap, nevermind. That's 6 hours away... Initially Google maps showed it as a little over an hour away... My search continues...

Bradford Sportsmans Farm. I shoot there from time to time. Its pry only an hour from Jacksonville. They have a nice range going out to 850. Only problem is you have to qualify to shoot there. Just give the guy and call and set up a time to qualify. Its easy.

PM me if you want more info.

BSF will be the closest to you most likely. You can also look at Volusia County Gun and Hunt Club. The Central Florida Defensive Carbine Club has shoots there which is how I found out about the range, but I didn't realize they have LR there too. I believe the range goes to 1,000. I've seen some pics showing them out to 750.

Pm me if you want more details and we can talk live.

Mark,
I'm checking. Voice and e-mails. Hard to reach him sometimes. How are you doing?

Go to k&m worth the trip.

Given the choice to shoot every week at Bradford or once a month At k&m I would go to k&m. Excellent facility.

Re: North Florida or South Georgia long ranges?

I wouldn't make that trade. But then again it wouldn't be practical for me to go to K&M even once a month

I enjoy BSF.

Re: North Florida or South Georgia long ranges?

Have you been to k&m?

 

[Jaxdialation]

Re: North Florida or South Georgia long ranges?

No

I can make it to BSF 2-3 times a month because it is a half day investment. I can drive+shoot+get home in 4-5 hours. I can't even get to K&M in 5 hours.

During the summer, there are about 4 hours of day light I want to shoot in. 100+ degree heat indexes aren't my cup o'tea. So, that makes the 10+ hour round trip especially difficult to justify.

Re: North Florida or South Georgia long ranges?

I completely understand, i have a private range not far from me and i shoot there quite often. like you said this time of the year is early morning or late in the evening. i just got tired of all the crap at BSF.

if you get some time and can attend i would highly recomend shooting either one of the 2 day or the 1 day matches at K&M

I see you are in st. augustine, there are several of us that go to these and all live in or around St. Aug and have room.

I'm going to be in the GAP Grind in October at K&M.
I'm going to do the BSF 3 day event a week or two before.

I have no issues with BSF. I also belong to a more general purpose range in St. Augustine. Because of my experience there, I understand it is pretty easy to get "sour" on a range.

New to the fwb area talked to the guys at k&m in baker. Does anyone shoot there frequently thinking about getting a memebership. I work at eglin afb so not to much of a trip for me. Would like to meet some of the local shooters.

Thanks,
Dave

yeah i really like BSF, but the $10 an hour fee for the 850 kinda sucks! otherwise its a good time.
