Living near O-Town, I thought I'd ask how many forum members call the Sunshine State home, and more specifically, visit the Central Florida ranges.
We don't have many choices here, and I was hoping to get some insight as to where folks in these parts make the most of their practice rounds.
I'm also hopeful of finding a kind soul or two that wouldn't mind taking a little time to show a handgun newbie the ropes when it comes to proper handling, range etiquette, aiming and trigger pull technique, field stripping and cleaning, etc.
I know, I know ... ask the local range, which I did. The only classes they offer here are CCW. There's no intro to handguns, proper shooting technique and safety classes available, and private one-on-one instructor rates are $50 - $80 /hour.
I'm sure it's worth the cost, however, I'm a meager-budget student, and the cost of the M&P, ammo, and supplies (hey, I'll get the bag for free, right?) will leave a deep hole in my pocket to start.
Please let me know, and if there's a good paperback that's recommended reading, I'm certainly interested in that as well.
Best Regards,
Cet.
