1000 Yd F-Class matches in proximity to Orlando, FL?

[Ned Ludd]

I've been trying to locate 1000 yd ranges that host F-Class matches in or near central/northern FL, let's say from a starting point around Orlando. I found the Arena Training facility in Blakely, GA, which is about about a 5.5 hr drive. Does anyone have a list of 1000 yd ranges that host F-Class matches within about 6-10 hours driving time of Orlando? Thanks for any info you may be able to provide!

There are none.

Forgot to mention. If you’re willing to drive the 10 hours, check with the Coastal Carolina Rifle Club. They are holding 1000 yd matches at Camp Lejeune in NC.

Nowhere south of that's for sure.

Pascagoula Shooting Club in Mississippi has monthly thousand yard F-class matches, but that would be 7+ hours from Orlando.

That is what I needed to know. Thanks to everyone for their replies!

Check to see what calibers they allow on the base. In years past, they only allowed military calibers.

Do they still have F-class? Website shows they stopped.

Maybe so, I've not been up there lately. I would give them a call. That facility is too nice to just be sitting there.

No more F-Class. Has moved to PRS matches.

Thanks, good to know what is going in up there.

We are serving the shooting community to the best of our ability. It is hard to work a job then spend the rest of your free time working at a range to have 12-20 shooters show up and then complain about the e-targets when they record the 8 that is on the paper when checked.
Not counting the money or the Fame it is a good feeling to have 75 to 100+ shooters show up and have FUN!!!
Just ask some of the F- Class shooters that have shot this if they had FUN!!

Thanks for your comments. The shooters have chosen PRS. Older guys like me have trouble with the physical demands of PRS but it is more fun. The Fclass is going to have to adapt or wither away.

If 600 yards will work, Manatee near Myakka City, holds F Class events. Check the Manatee Gun Club website for details.

At least they are a bit close to Orlando.

Captain, has the board decided if they are going to reopen the 1000yd range? I was my understanding they were going to vote on it after hurricane repairs were completed. Has any decision been reached?

Web site says only 300 yard F-class. At least thats how i read it.

They show 600 yard matches for IBS and a steel target challenge.
