Guns: My Local Range

There was once a gun dealer named Harry Beckwith, and he ran both a gun store and an adjacent range. Somewhere down the line, he sold the range (eventually he sold the store, too, but that's another tale). The range changed hands a few times, until it finally rested in the hands of a guy named Jeff and his ragtag band.

These are gun guys. They don't mind shooting the old stuff, but they enjoy the new combat tupperware, too. They give no-BS advice about personal defense, yet they have some hilarious discussions about guns and shooting.

It's easily the best range in Gainesville. While the per-session fees are high, the yearly membership of $235 is quite fair - you get unlimited range time, a free monthly gun rental, a free monthly ultrasonic cleaning, and finally, some free emergency gunsmithing, if need be.

Definitely worth stopping by.
