Shoot Straight (Clearwater)

Like 'em, hate 'em or just don't care:

Just a heads up, web site and outside sign announce that they will open Mon, 5/14.

Now back to your normal programing


ETA: They are open, have not been there yet, not really sure I want to go.........

Have never been to a shoot straight. how close do they look at your ammo, could you sneak in reloads

so who's holding the $$ for the "first suicide" pool?

4 empty posts, very nice!!

I don't think they do at all.

And if you put your reloads in a factory box, you should be golden.

They try to steal your brass.

Just left there. They are busy, looks great inside and probably 500 weapons on display. About 50 ar type rifles with several in .308

Didn't look at the range at all. Nothing more to report.

Any Segways?

LMAO!!!!!!

That was priceless!!

passed by around 5:45 on way home from work and they were packed

Full of FUDD zombies - just wandering around aimlessly finger banging all the stuff for sale.

Range was hopelessly packed. I wouldn't go in on an afternoon or weekend for a while.

It was comical. I'll be going at around 11am today to see what its like in the middle of the day on a weekday. If theres a wait, I'll leave. If not, I'll see if the range is any better. Hopefully they've gone at least a day without breaking target carriers

Just spent an hour at the range there. $17 for the hour with 4 targets.

The first 9 lanes go to about 75 yards, so was able to use the AR. Target system was smooth and easy to use, A/C was on full blast (huge movable vent at each lane), range masters were attentive and friendly.

I would definitely shoot there again. Now... would I BUY something there... that's a totally different story.

P.S. - I didn't see a single Segway

Stoped in on way home from work was not really crowded. ventilation system looks great way better than knights was, prices do seem a little high tho.

Targets go out to 50 yards...?

I shot there yesterday, it felt nice finally shooting my suppressed AR indoors. No ridiculous blast usually associated with it.

The vents are cool, but weird. Why not just make the entire range cold? Step out from under that vent and its humid/hot.

I like how "clean" it is, not dirt wise, but how everything is organized and you don't feel crowded.

Speaking of crowded, if you're fat....good luck. They reduced the width of the shooting stalls. The benefit is obviously now there are more lanes. But you big boys might have trouble.

AC in a hostile environment like a gun range is a nightmare and very expensive. Way to many regulatory issues with the lead and meeting Florida Energy Code.
I wouldn't mind stopping in just to see how they did the cooling! Someone take a picture of the vents!

...but do it with a hidden camera. SS is kinda strict with their no photo/video policy...

Someone forgot to tell me

Do they allow class 3 stuff?

Yeah , those lanes do look close now

Are those lanes 1 and 2 on 17MAY? I might have been there when you were... your rig looks familiar. I like it.

I went to the core 15 factory and their retail side sells guns about 3x as much as shoot straight. At least most of what I see at SS in Tampa is MSRP.

I was gonna say, make sure if you go in you've got your PPE on

That range picture, is that the pistol or rifle side, do they have any benches to use on the rifle side?

That does look tight compared to the way knights had it.

Yes sir. My buddy brought his Noveske 300BLK and I was shooting whats in the pic above.

Thanks.



See the post above yours

Rifle side.

They had one of the old style benches (the green ones) and one table and a couple chairs.

I'm a thin guy, but seriously if you're 300+ lbs its gonna be a bit of a squeeze. Also, the lanes are so close together the brass kept reflecting off the wall and hitting me. I had to find that sweet spot where I backed up just enough to get the brass ejecting outside the stall.

Man that's tight! I'm really spoiled at Gander when it comes to indoor shooting. But for the price, I could probably get 2 - 3 lanes at SS.

Oh my, that is tight, owell, guess the only way to find out if it works is try it, Thanks for the reply.
