Finally Found & Joined A Local Gun Club
« on: January 05, 2010, 07:29:20 PM »
After all the public ranges down here, the coddled way that gun owners are "allowed" to shoot, rate of fire, firing from a holstered position, etc,..

All these "rules/policies" vary from range to range, and can limit drills and exercises that others like myself would like to try. Especially a longer range for rifles, over 100yds.

Well, on the border of the Everglades, is Pops Gun Club. It's a private range, been around for a long while, and family oriented. Old fashioned good group of shooters, that enjoy firearms and have many different stations for different applications.

http://www.popsrange.com/

Ty Pops may look like Edgar Winter, but hell if you give them the heads up Tannerite is allowed, bump firing, no rapid fire restrictions, old fashioned Turkey Shoots at 40 yds.  IDPA, NRA events, and a good bunch of guys for a 1 time "donation of $50.00"

Donations are made when you go shoot, usually $20.00, and family is automatically allowed. If you haven;t had formal training, an NRA instructed safety course is mandatory prior to shooting. No restrictions on guests, and members can volunteer for just about anything.

m25, thank you for the PDF file on the Range Officer Rules & Reg's, you posted some time back.

Did I mention the wild pig hunting on the grounds?  ;D Talked and had a very personal shooting/gun conversation with the owner, who invited me to sign up this Saturday.  Did I mention Tannerite was/is allowed? Only thing is No Furniture or appliances, or old cars are allowed downrange without prior approval.

Looking forward to it. I need a DRTV T-Shirt!!!!!

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
