mfrits Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Howdy ya'll, My job has me spending the next 3 months working in sunny Clearwater, FL and I'm bringing my toys with me. Any suggestions on where I can shoot USPSA, steel, or other interesting matches near there? Will bring my STI Limited gun for sure but might bring my complete 3 gun rig if there are any matches coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErichF Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Easy, the Wyoming Antelope Club in Largo/St Pete: http://www.wyomingantelopeclub.org/ Some the most excellent shooters in the state of FL come from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTew Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 +1 for WAC, Universal Shooting Academy is not to far away also. I hope to shoot there soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegunnerd Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Just watch out for the scientologists they LITERALLY own clearwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfrits Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Will check out both of those. I'll have my weekends open and plenty of ammo so hopefully there will be some matches to join in. As for the scientogists, as long as they don't lynch United Methodists, I think I will be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szhttm Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 The two ranges suggested above are great options. Two other options for you: Ancient City Shooting Range / Ancient City Practical Shooting Association (St. Augustine, FL) Hansen Range / Ft. Myers Practical Shooting Association (Punta Gorda, FL) Good Luck And Be Safe!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOF Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 WAC is a good facility (although it is all in covered bays... use a green FO front sight) and they shoot a variety of matches. Check their website for details. Universal Shhoting Academy in Frostproof hosts some matches and is about a 2 hour drive from Clearwater. That all outdoors. Another option is Central Florida Rifle & Pisol Club... just south of Orlando (CFRPC.com) and they shoot IDPA, ICORE, and others. That's not a bad (under two hours) drive from Clearwater. I've shot at all of them, an they're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amerflyer48 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Don't forget Guncraft Range in Ruskin and for gun shops Smooth Action Firearms in Brandon Edited January 2, 2014 by Amerflyer48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickster Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hernando Sportsmans Club is straight north about 50 miles up Route 19 from Clearwater. 8 miles past Weeki-Watchi where you could drop off family members if needed and pick them up on the way back. 3-gun, Action rifle, USPSA, IDPA. Even Cowboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfrits Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Great info guys. Thanks for all the feedback. Can't wait to check a few of these places and enjoy shooting in some warmer weather for a change. My last few matches in Georgia have been pretty cold and soggy.
