Rancho Roy Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 My wife and I will be renting a house in Ft Meyers for January, February and March......Can someone send me a "Must Attend" list of shoots in the states during these three months. What clubs do you consider host the better "One Day" shoots? We will have our camper with us, so distance from FtMeyers is no concern. Any other advise is much appreciated. TIA!

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 There is a double header at the end of January in Fort White (near Alachua, FL) Darkness Falls and Dark Day on the Santa Fe. They are BP championship matches, but they let smokeless shooters play too. It's a bit of a hike from Ft. Myers, but since we come down from Maryland for the match, Ft. Myers is just a stones throw.

Cypress Sun Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Below is the Florida list of clubs as found on Action Shooting Network (ASN). Due to Covid, etc., I suggest contacting the MD to confirm that they are having the match so you don't make a wasted trip. As others have said, the black powder match and the state match are in March and both are great matches. The closest clubs to Ft. Myers for monthly matches (listed by name, city and approx. travel time) are; 5 County - Punta Gorda (20 - 30 min.) Miakka - Miakka (1 hr) OK Corral (Okeechobee) (1+ hr) Okeechobee (Okeechobee) (1+ hr) SW Florida Gunslingers (20 - 30 min.) Doodle Hill (1 hr+) https://actionshootingnetwork.com/blog/235/s-a-s-s-florida-club-list-and-info/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Preacherman said is also accurate. 3rd Sat and 4th Sunday. We are a small but friendly group. After the guns are put away we have hot dogs and beer and tell tall tales of our exploits from years gone by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI Yeah, I know. Rarely, but on occasion, a monthly match will be cancelled for one reason or another. Most of the locals know due to word of mouth, E mail or fakebook, but the passerby doesn't. Are you coming up to Ruskin for the opener? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you coming up to Ruskin for the opener? I am going to try. As it stands now, yes. But that may change in the next few weekends depending on how much prep for our camping trip I can get done. Camper needs some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we managed to shuffle our schedule enough that we will be heading your way for the match. The online applications have been submitted and my waiver completed, Lil should have hers done within the hour. (Coffee First was the word I was given, certainly the modus operandi of my life! ) I will drop the paper copies along with the payment in the mail sometime this morning. This will be our first trip to this club and we are looking forward to seeing the range. Looks like a nice place to shoot, and dang is that range flat! Our parking lot isn't even that flat! Looking at Google Maps satellite view, the OK Corral Gun Club looks HUGE! Just so I am prepared, how far is it from the parking area to the shooting area? Do I need to bring my horse?

I got both online apps this morning. Yes we are the low landers down here. The property itself is around 600 acres but a good portion of it is the cattle ranch. The actual range is around 100 acres with most being the two sporting clays courses. The cowboy town is about 100 yards from the parking lot. And they rent motored horses if you'd like.

Pushing my monster cart 100 yards up hill, both ways, I can do, especially when the hill is only 0.01" high! Looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
