I'm not sure about "TODAY IN 2024" as I moved out of Avon Park and the state in 2011. From approx. 2004-2011 I was quite active there shooting several times a week rifle and pistol with local friends and Air Force personnel at there range on base. There was some paperwork involved and a mandatory safety course that had to be taken, as well as passing some basic qualifications. There was usually a qualified instructor there who was always ready to help you out with any questions. I was shooting a variety of handgun calibers, .38/.357, .45 auto, 9mm, .223/5.56 and a number of rifle calibers also from T/C Contender Pistols. They were basically everything from .22 RF up to and including 45/70 from a 14" barrel with a muzzlebreak silver soldered on in order to use a folding rifle stock there. I cannot remember any caliber of firearm being off-limits there. We only ever used the outdoor range where we had Gongs and Steel Silloute Targets set up as well as assorted yardage for paper targets. Many of us reloaded so if we weren't shooting we were likely home reloading. Most of us were retired or disabled veterans. I always found it a comfortable place to shoot and great company to enjoy our time with there. There was a old round quanset hut building with A/C where you could get a Pepsi or cold drink or a cup of coffee and a snack. Moreover you could cool off from the summer heat for a bit before returning to the firing line. read more
