You can bring your own ammo to Shoot Straight but they charge you a much higher range fee to do it. I go to the Lakeland and Orlando locations every now and then. Mainly for the rifle side if I want to sight in a AR and the weather isn't good. For pistol shooting I've got another range that costs me about a 3rd of what Shoot Straight costs per trip. Not as nice but close enough for the cost difference. They do have decent prices on guns though, especially sale and closeout stuff.

When I mentioned long range Rabbit, I just meant that you'd have to shoot pretty far to hit an antelope in Wyoming from down here. ;D Glad to hear the positive vibes about shoot straight though. I'm off to Naples early next week so I'll probably miss the grand opening sales and deals (grumble), but I am looking forward to it. My local, Gator guns is on my last nerve. High prices, idiot clerks, they don't sell AKs because they don't want to deal with "that crowd" (their words, not mine ::) >:(), and prices that make you wonder if its always been 2008. To hell with them. I am driving two exits south and never plan to darken their door again. :D

Interesting fact, antelope outnumber people in Wyoming nearly 2 to 1. I always have a good laugh when I see them hunting antelope here on the outdoor channel. (sorry guys) They've got people all camo'd up crawling through the sage brush, trying to put the rambo sneak on some big buck.

You are taking it WAY to seriously. We usually refer to the stinky things as prairie maggots. The only reason to hunt them is to make sausage and jerky to eat when you go to hunt REAL food. The most common method of hunting the proghorn antelope is as follows:

Load up the truck with 4-5 guys, a cooler with lunch and massive quantities of beer. Drive until you are outside of city limits and on BLM/ State/ Fed land. Everyone exits the vehicle, and starts shooting. About 10 min and 3 boxes of shells later, everyone piles back in the vehicle and the great pick up begins. You drive to the center of the massacre and everyone picks a cantalope and starts field dressing. ( this is also the official start of beer drinking. )  About 2-3 hours later you load up all animals and head back home to watch the football game.

Note: This process is only executed if you DIDN'T fill all your tags by wiping these brain dead creatures out on the highway. (yes I have seen it happen) I know several people that have actually been broadsided by antelope.

Antelope have all of the intelligence and self preservation instincts as zombies. So I suppose in that regard we're at the for front of Zombie hunting techniques.  ;D

So FQ, if you want to hunt antelope, don't bother with your shooting skills too much, a VW micro bus and a baseball bat will work just fine.  ;)
