Any Jacksonville, FL shooters out there?

[Heraclid]

Hello all! I'm wondering who here is in or around Jacksonville, FL. I'm very new to the sport, having just laid the money down today and will be picking up the gun on Thursday. Don't know anybody who shoots and my wife doesn't like guns (but has been more supportive than expected about me getting one). Just wondering who all is out there and what local range you like. I'm thinking I want outdoor which leaves me only Gateway locally, but always open to suggestions. Thanks!

Howdy how Heraclid! Welcome to the forum!

Well, my (Marine) friends and I enjoy shooting at Bullseyes (near Regency Mall). Its a good lil facility and clean of "undesireables".
Also, you more than welcome to come with us (usually 3 or so) and have a grand ole time

See my reply to your question in the 1911 Forum or The Firing line, I don't remember which. I think you will like it..

If you are looking for an outdoor range and don't mind a little drive, about an hour west of Jacksonville is the Osceola Shooting Range. It is a state public range in Lake City.
