2024 March Visit @ Amelia Shotgun Sports

 We shot the new "orange" 14 station course @ Amelia Shotgun Sports (Yulee, FL) today. It's broken into three sections due to land availability. 1-5, 6-8, 9-14.

We found stations one through three the hardest then it moderated based on our ability.
The club placed three orange stations on the clubs two skeet fields. Standalone machines. Not using the skeet nor trap machines. Don't know how this setup will impact anyone who wants to shoot skeet or trap.
The third leg of the orange course replaced the short beginner's course and then some. A beginner's course is no longer available. Back in the day they used to send new shooters to the beginner's course before they hit the main course (moved things along).
The original 14 station course no longer has two stands per station, nor three machines per. We shot both courses.
Non-member rate $0.50 per target. $30 Golf Cart.

La Roue du Roy - Super Sporting Tournaments - May 25 & 26

 


Mar 2024 visit @ Bradford Sportsmen’s Farm

Bradford Sportsmen’s Farm (Graham, FL).  $0.60 a target (non-member). $40 cart rental. Water on both courses.

We shot the West and North course.  

The club had not changed target presentations on the north from what was seen at the Florida Challenge.  We shoot LM.  Four or five stations on the north I almost put in modified just to see what type of hits I get on the long birds, especially on a couple of midis I saw.

Road was shut down just before the bridge we needed to cross to get home. Major accident. After 20 minutes we detoured to Palatka. Crossed the bridge there.  The backtracking made for a long day.

Palm Beach County Club Visit - 22 Feb 2024

Photos of the Palm Beach County Club (Florida). Well maintained course. "B" class shooters and above would get bored quickly. Nature of the beast for a county/state run club. All an all we had a good time. No machine or target issues.

$21 cart rental. $.40 a target. Had to watch a 12-minute safety video (first time visitor). The person in front of me was renting a shotgun. He was told $20 (all day) and had to be an American and 21 years of age.

Yes, that's an alligator swimming in the water at station #2.

A number of skeet/trap fields. A good number International Skeet and Bunker fields. I suspect at some point a World Cup match will be hosted.

Plenty of ammunition for sale. We brought are own.















Quail Creek Sporting Ranch visit - Feb 21, 2024

 We visited Quail Creek Sporting Ranch (Fl). Three-hour drive. Twenty-one miles from I-95 to the entrance gate. $.55 nonmember rate per target. $30 cart rental.

Some machines on the Red course out of targets. White and Blue course closed (was not informed when we signed in).
Tried to shoot the Blue. No target. No target. Stupid me. Tried three stations : (
Ran into a club member who said the course was closed. Be prepared. If you push the button you pay for targets, target or no target.

Did shoot the "closed" White without issue. There were several others shooting the course and one person loading machines.
I called them on it when we went in. Did not go well. Desk would not owe up to failure to inform. The young lady insisted she told us. I may be old, but I think after a three-hour drive, I would remember being told two of the three courses we came to shoot were not available. If not me the wife would remember as she had been standing right next to me when we signed in.
Lady seemed to be upset when we told her we shot the closed White Course. Insisted she told us both courses were closed. I suspect she did not want to own up to her mistake in front of the other person working with her. Left a bad taste. Never visited before. Don't ever plan on visiting again.
