Re: Florida Levergunners Meet...
I am also interesting in something with longer ranges than Strickland. Let me know. I need to order some bullets so I can build some ammo beforehand. I'm getting a new reloading area setup so I'm kind of in a bad spot for ammo at the moment.
And of course ... food is good.

Re: Florida Levergunners Meet...
The Manatee Gun Club has 1,000 yards.
That would be on Hwy 64 east of Bradenton by about 15 or 20 miles.

I would love to meet some of the Florida Levergunners. Count me if I am not travelling during that time. I have family in Sarasota, so Manatee would be great for me.

Re: Florida Levergunners Meet...
My schedule is flexible. I am always up for getting together and shooting. I never been to Manatee.
What is the set up for long range? Do they have bunkers for target checker/changers or what? Do you need an RSO for your group/ or pre-qualify??

Re: Florida Levergunners Meet...
How about within the next couple of weeks...or beginning of February
I would like to hear a little more about the Manatee gun club
and this 1000 yard range...Can anyone shoot there or do you have to join
the club? Hopefully this weekend I will be going to the Florida State Championship
for The Single Action Shooting Society...Otherwise known as "SASS"
All the gun makers should be there...Cimarron, Taylors and Uberti...
Ruger and others...
I wonder if we could shoot at that club?
Heres the web site...if any of you may want to go

Re: Florida Levergunners Lets Meet SOON!
I'm guessing that would be about a 3 hour drive for me. Let me know, and I'll take a Friday off. Probably wouldn't make it there until around noon though ... maybe 11am.

Re: Florida Levergunners Lets Meet SOON! Lets pick a date
Well guys....
What date do you guys want to meet....and where
I am pretty flexible since work is very slooooooow
I just found the info for that gun club between
Deland and New Symrna on route 44
Heres the site...if anyone in this area is interested...
I also sent an email to see if they will allow us to shoot
for a daily fee....http://volusiacountygunandhuntclub.com
There are three gun clubs in that area
Volusia county gun and hunt club...
Volusia county trap and skeet club...I am a member there and
Volusia county sporting clays....
all within just a few miles of each other

Ron,
Unfortunately, we are a private club. I do allow non-members to attend any match (IDPA,Carbine, IPSC, Steel Challege) that we put on. These are available to be viewed on our website at: http://www.volusiacountygunandhuntclub.com
However, If you were to coordinate with all of your lever members and set up a date, I would be more than happy to arrange a daily fee of $10 per person to come and shoot for the day.This could also be arranged to have this as a yearly meet/match for your group to use our range for this type of an event. Let me know what you think?
Thank you,
Sean Beery
Director

386-717-1394

I like this idea of a yearly match or get together!

Re: Florida Levergunners Lets Meet SOON! LETS PICK A DATE
Has anyone decided on a date yet? Either Manatee or Volusia County sound good. The 2nd or 3rd week in February would be best for me. I would really like to meet some fellow Florida Levergunners. We just moved to South Florida from Texas last year.

Re: Florida Levergunners Lets Meet SOON! LETS PICK A DATE!
You and I may have to make the drive over to Manatee County though. Sounds like there's a bunch over there that want to shoot at that range. I could probably take a Friday off to do it if that's the day of week we need to get the most people to join. Rihmfire, perhaps you can drive to my place and I can drive us to the range.

Re: Florida Levergunners Lets Meet SOON! LETS PICK A DATE!
Hey, I wanna go! Every range I've ever been to maxed out at 200 yards. This should be interesting.
I'll be watching this thread, and Lord willing, will see you guys at Manatee.

Re: Florida Levergunners Lets Meet SOON! LETS PICK A DATE!
I'm up for the 12th or the 19th and will probably stay for the weekend as I have family in Sarasota. I was looking at the Manatee gun club website and they have bench rest matches the 13th and 14th with practice during the week. Maybe the 19th would be better for us?
Re: Florida Levergunners Lets Meet SOON! LETS PICK A DATE!
Wherever it is, whenever it is, I'm going to try to make it.
Manatee is easy for me, but the other location might be fine, too.

Re: Florida Levergunners Lets Meet SOON! How about FEB 19th?
I got a driver of the moth award for the month of Dec. which gives me a paid holiday. I'd be willing to take it on the 19th if y'all want to go. One thing I remember about Manatee is that they sell Tanerite targets to shoot at. you miss they go whosh, you hit they go BANG! IIRC that's on the web site too unless Homeland security made them quit that.

Re: Florida Levergunners Lets Meet SOON! How about FEB 19th?
I'll add that for anyone coming from the north and east of the Manatee range if you take hwy 17 to hwy 64 it is a straight shot to the range from there. You can look up the address on google maps to find out about Louge Rd. if you like.
I'll be putting it on my calender.

It might help being a sticky. We Floridians are slow to respond and this thing keeps rolling off the front page. Maybe make it a sticky until the Feb. 19th meet date? Probably will help those that just check in occasionally.
