| and wanting to touch base. I am migrating from KY to coach football. Would like to know any good shops and ranges. Any other sage advice would be welcome. Thank you in advance and cannot wait to get down with y'all. |

Welcome to the area. I'm in Williston which is about 20-25 min away from Newberry (with my driving). Once you get settled in your more then welcome to check out the Fort White Gun Club with me. You will like Newberry, I use to live by the High school about 15 years ago.
Edited: forgot ya have pickett's Weaponry that is also located in Newberry. It's an ok shop, I like Hary Beckwiths (in Gainesville) a little bit better. Same owners. |

Picketts is a good family owned gun shop.
I stopped in there last week on my way through, just to look around......nice shop. Asked about a piece for the 870 I keep in my truck. They had the part on the workbench, very slightly used, and installed it....NO CHARGE. So I bought a spare mag for my Taurus OSS/DS .45 |

Looks like everyone has it pretty well covered. Picketts is a good shop right in Newberry. Fort White has a nice Gun Club that's very inexpensive. There's a few other good shops around the area also. I'm with Ebbtide, let's set up a fall Gainesville and surrounding areas BBQ.
P.S. The best advice I can give you is find a place a few miles west of Newberry to live. If you can get out of Alachua county and into Gilchrist, your taxes will be much less. |
