Title: Immokalee range is closed
Post by: B.C. on June 22, 2018, 02:12:00 PM
Florida,

Our Immokalee range (Altair) down in south west Florida has been shut down and our contacts there are gone. Our large event set up in November will be cancelled.

I am so disappointed to hear this - I was really looking forward to another trip to the Immokalee range!
