Just saw references to this new 500 yard!!! range. What's the deal with them? When do they open? Can you shoot for a day or do you have to join?


I've been wanting to try some long range shooting but did not want to drive all the way to Bradenton. Can't wait til they open.

Palm Beach sheriff's range is  open one weekend a month and on that sunday it opens the 200 yard range. And every few months they open it to 300 yards on Sunday. The next 300 yard sunday is in September. The schedule is posted on line.

Oh boy, still a hike to get down there. I hope they allow day shooters without the membership requirement b/c I won't be joining.

I just looked again on their website, under frequently asked questions it says rifle range is 200 yards. Is that old info? Did they open a 500?

Friday they open the 500 yard range,  I know as I shoot there....give them a call and ask. They are great people.

They used to require that you sign up for their newsletter to get the heads-up on the 500 yd. shoots.  Once the email went out they took a limited number "reservations."  Worth the hassle though.
