Ocala Shooting Range
The Ocala Shooting Range provides a place for improving shooting skills. It is open to the public when classes are not in session. It is unsupervised, so cooperation among shooters is a must!
Backboards are provided and must be maintained. Shooters must bring their own targets and tacks or staples.
The range is operated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) under a special use permit. Please consult their website for operational hours and classes.
General Information
The Ocala Shooting Range was built with funds provided by the Pittman-Robertson Act to be used by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Hunter Education Program. This Act levies an excise tax on all sporting arms and ammunition, which is then used for wildlife restoration and hunter education.
