I've shot there once with a member and plan on getting my own membership. It is a little expensive but you get a lot of freedom and don't have to deal with the idiots at Webb.

I’ve been a member there since opening. Being a veteran I pay 40 bucks a month and I feel that is cheap for the freedom you get there when it comes to shooting.
Lots of steel and you can run and gun all you want just stay inside your shooting bay . Pistol bays are 25 yards . Rifle is 100 to 600 yards . |

$120/ month for access to their long range? Pffft.
im not tier 1 enough for that price. Can't see visiting that range more than once a month. Kinda silly you can't just pay for a day. |

Have been going since it was the original Altair for classes and to teach. They’ve gone belly up a few times and I believe members were burned on memberships not being honored by new management / ownership. Long range is nice though with elevated positions and steel targets, shoot house is also nice just not sure if open to members.

Sounds interesting, but cost prohibitive in my case.

This place looks nice. I see they allow machine guns with prior approval. I wish there was a place like this closer to the Sarasota/Bradenton area.

Id like to know what that means, “prior approval”? I live very close to this range but have never shot there. Quote HistoryQuoted:

(found a rare piece of 100% Uplands determination with an "X"-FIRM rating). I am hoping to make Tradecraft my goto range. The membership is a bit steep but the facility looks like it may be worth it. I called and was able to get a tour of the place. Nice now and it looks like they have even better plans for the future. If there is anything comparable nearby, please let me know. |

IF you haven't heard, it's changing ownership once again. Not sure how that will affect membership.

Honestly, I could be up for a group purchase if there were serious interest. It's a BIG piece of real estate, a hundred ARFCOMMERS could chip in, form an LLC and buy it outright (without a note). I actually have some ideas to repurpose the old prison cells. |

Not worth it to me $120 a month + $50 for a guest.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I spoke with a Manager (one of the Owners, I believe) and my understanding is they just want you to affirm that you are NOT bringing anything illegal onto their property (i.e; an UNregistered machinegun) and that you can keep your rounds from leaving the action bays. I've got to admit, I have seen more than one first time MG owner with a MAC 10 or 11 lose muzzle control their first time shooting it. I am building a home in Naples off Immokalee Rd. (found a rare piece of 100% Uplands determination with an "X"-FIRM rating). I am hoping to make Tradecraft my goto range. The membership is a bit steep but the facility looks like it may be worth it. I called and was able to get a tour of the place. Nice now and it looks like they have even better plans for the future. If there is anything comparable nearby, please let me know. Do you live in the area now or will you be moving down once the home is built? Immokalee road traffic sucks during rush hour in season and it is only going to get worse with every year that passes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: We’re practically neighbors. Anyway, nothing else comparable locally, Alamo kinda sucks, way over priced memberships and unless you plop 5-7k down for a “presidential membership” you will have no access to an indoor rifle range locally. There is Naples gun emporium or whatever it’s called, they only allow frangible ammo, really quirky. You have Louland to the south, they do some competition shoots, but it’s a longer drive from North Naples. There is the public range near Punta Gorda, Markham Park in Broward (mother public range) just on the other side of alligator alley, shoot straight in Fort Myers and Shoot Center In Cape Coral. Shoot Center is actually a good indoor range and gun shop, I really wish they were closer. Shoot straight memberships are dirt cheap and their ranges and stores are all over Florida. Do you live in the area now or will you be moving down once the home is built? Immokalee road traffic sucks during rush hour in season and it is only going to get worse with every year that passes. What really attracted me to Tradecraft was the use of the action-shooting bays. I am a little spoiled now because I have access to a private range where we can run & gun, shoot from cover, over and under barriers. Also nice for chronograph data collection and shooting gel or other media to evaluate load performance. I am looking forward to shooting, fishing, boating, paddling everyday!  Quick question for you - Is it legal to canoe and fish the canals in Collier County? |

Hey everyone!!! Tradecraft Range has not changed hands. In fact it is still owned by the same guys, Ryan and Anthony and it's doing great!!
2020 has already been a solid year for the range. We have hosted 2 PRS matches and are Florida's only Tactical Games affiliate and have hosted two sell out Tactical Games Skirmish competitions with our 3rd planned for Saturday April 25th. We are now getting ready to break ground on additional 100, 600 and 1000 yard ranges along with several improvements to the existing ranges and property. We are getting our training calendar booked out with courses from Florida Firearms Training, Force IMI and a November Sheepdog Response course with Tim Kennedy is already open for registration. to keep up with our activities, follow us on Instagram @tradecraft_range and on Facebook too You can always email us: [email protected] [email protected] Train Safe |

Guys $120/mo for long range membership is the price to play. Where else can you go shoot 1,300 yards on your own in South FL?

But I’ve heard from multiple sources that there was a change in ownership. Not just here but even at the range. Any idea where these rumors originated? (Not that it matters, just odd it came up!) |

Likely from another company that occupied the property at the same time we did. They are no longer here and I'm sure their departure ended up reflecting on us.
We are incredibly happy to be growing and are looking forward to a great 2020. So pass the word!!! We are open, improving and ready for new members. Thanks everyone!! |

We initially tried Mon- Tues -Wed hours and it just wasn't cost effective to be open with little to no traffic. We do track range usage and as we start to approach 75-80% capacity we will start adding days to the calendar. That shouldn't be long.
We run tours of the property all the time and would love to have you come out to see what we have to offer. Feel free to drop me an email and let's set you up. [email protected] |

Would like to join an outdoor range near Ft. Myers and be able to shoot steel and not be so crowded. I go to Webb once in a while but its just no fun for me at least to shoot paper slow fire . Looks like Tradecraft is a pretty nice set up just seems like a lot of money and there only open Thursday thru Sunday. Ok shoot steel I see, faster fire, but what else are you looking to do? Static, run and gun, what ranges and how often? |

Don't get me wrong Webb is a good range Ive only been there a few times and everyone working there were nice and friendly plus its only a 20 minute drive but its got its limitations. |
