Hello Floridians. I'll be moving to the sunshine state at the end of the month and look forward to attending some events! I'll be in the Clearwater area.

I've attended three Appleseed events in PA including one below freezing. I'm looking forward to trying some RKD, KD, and Pistol Clinics, something we don't have much of up here in PA.

As I'm not super familiar with Florida towns, which host locations will be closest to me in Clearwater?

Welcome to 'Merica and Freedom.

The 2 active ranges would be Herando Sportsmans Club (about an hour North) and Manatee Gun and Archery (about a hour Southeast).
The next shoot at Hernando is Jan 28/29 and the next at Manatee Feb 5/6.

Once again welcome to Florida.

Welcome Xavier.

Those ranges that StoneKnives pointed out should have everything you are looking for. Florida has plenty of shoots each year. About the only thing we can't offer you is another shoot below freezing   :).

Look forward to seeing you on the line.

Went to my first Ladyseed event recently.  What an information packed weekend.  Hubby and I are going to attend Appleseed in early April in Homestead. Looking forward to it! :~ :1luvu

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003

Hi, I'm Ben. I just finished a two day marksmanship training in Flagler. It was a fantastic experience. I'm looking forward to going to more of these and learning new skills.

About me: I'm a mid 30s nomad with a remote IT job exploring Florida to figure out where I'd like to set root (suggestions welcome)

Welcome and I am glad you enjoyed the shoot! I am a member at the Flagler Gun Club and if ever you want to join me for some trigger time there, just ask and I would be happy to have you as a guest.
The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837

Ben,
I really enjoyed working with you! So proud you also scored with your bolt gun on the last AQT.  ^:)^ As Bruce & I have family membership to Flagler, I echo Bruce's invitation. You're being so open to trying new shooting ideas/positions really was a major contributor to your huge progress over the weekend.
As to suggestions for roots in FL, what sorts of area do you prefer? City vs rural county? We personally live in Putnam County, a small very rural county on the St Johns River. Reach us via the private message system ("my messages" tab above) on this forum by our screen names.
