owain Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 We’re currently on holiday in Florida for a couple of weeks. In between visits to the parks, me and my eldest boy had a trip to “The shooting gallery” range and gun shop. What an experience, my boy got a Glock 44 in .22, I got a Glock 17 in 9mm. We also got a AR 9 in 9mm to both have a go with. I’ve put up a couple of videos on YouTube, if your in Florida and looking for a range to go to, I would recommend this place.

fse10 Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Twice when i have been to Orlando on holiday, i think i was at that range more then i was at the parks. Dropped wife and kids at the parks and went here. Must of done $1500 plus on gun hire and ammo loved it as an ex pistol shooter. Loved the 50ae desert eagle, 500sw was a bit of a hand killer.

enfieldspares Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Well thank the Tories for all that. Until John Major's handgun ban you could do in here, there, everywhere. Indoor full bore pistol shooting was a growing pastime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s well worth a look mate, there’s loads to choose from. This one was recommended by a lad at work 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Whenever we go to Florida we head for the range, we like Oakridge gun Range, very friendly with a great selection of guns. Last time there we finished on a M4 Carbine with the full auto option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine gun America was just over the road from where we were stopping. A few people had said it was very expensive for what it was. It Did look smart though.

We used Shooting Gallery Range based about half hour out of Kissimmee area. Rent whatever takes your fancy from the rack and as long as you are able to show some basic competency (loading/ unloading mag, making the gun safe etc) after a brief demonstration then your free to go on the range and blast away. It was a few dollars per box of 9mm pistol rounds and 15 dollars for a box of 5.56 if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Range entry for 2 - $30 Glock 44 hire -$12 Glock 17 hire. -$12 AR9 auto hire -$30 50x .22lr. -$20 100x 9mm. -$85 LTJ? For 2 -$03 Tax -$12.48 Total $204.48 Not exactly cheap but a great experience for both of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owain Posted June 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 Ammo isn’t cheap in the US of A have a look at shotgun ammunition prices. 😳 Also the petrol prices, we had a transit 15 seat mini bus, I filled it up with petrol (not diesel which is more expensive) from 50 miles off empty on the way to the airport. Over $100 😳 which is about £80. One thing about Florida, it ain’t cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
