Is the gun rang open on the 4th of July
The posted rates at the entrance are unclear 🙁
Is it:-
six dollars for the car or three dollars per person
or is it:-
six dollars for the car plus three dollars per person?
In other words – is the charge for two shooters with their car six dollars or twelve dollars??
I’ve always paid by the car.
Monday you can try calling the range 941 575-5768 or Ryan at Higher Power Outfitters… https://everythingpuntagorda.com/blog/punta-gordas-first-and-only-gun-shop-higher-power-outfitters/

[…] take the stang on a weekend cruise since I havent been driving it much lately. Here is the place Cecil M. Webb Public Shooting Range Punta Gorda | everythingpuntagorda.com anyone in the area ever go […]
I have been attempting to reach the range number which is constantly busy signal or the Mr. Weatherholt number which is disconnected. I would like to know if there is a qualified range officer present, are paper targets sold or supplied and does any body check your ammo for safety before utilizing the pistol range. Thanking you in advance, Lawrence Lack Ret. MOS
I just talked to Florida Fish & Wildlife at the (863) 648-3206 phone #.
They told me there is a Range officer present during hours.
There are NO supplies available like targets and accessories or ammo.
The range officer can inspect your ammo…if you would like…but I do not think he inspects ammo unless requested.
Try giving them a call if you have another questions… (make sure you dial a 1 (863) 648-3206
If you are over 65 do you have to pay to use the park shooting range
It “looks” like your exempt over 65 – See this link to FWC – https://public.myfwc.com/CrossDOI/LPIS/LicenseDetails.aspx

Open thanksgiving day?
It’s not clear in the flyer…It looks like it but I’d call FWC and check – 863 648-3200
Yes, children can shoot as long as an adult is with all the time. My granddaughter, 6, shoots her 22 caliber Beretta 21A semi- auto pistol.
I went to this range for the first time today. I liked it a lot. The staff was friendly and helpful. I’ll be going back.
If your looking for a gun range with asxxole staff who make fun children which I’ve watched and people who fight over targets and if you dare shoot their target they will curse and scream for attention. Then this is the perfect gun range for you.
Rude staff who I watched make fun of a child in front of him. Also some bad people that curse non-stop and I watched yell at the same child with the staff member. The child shot the guys target and he called the kid motherfu**** then the staff member looked at the kid and his sister and said “just leave this place no one wants you here axxholes”
Just a note – I’ve always had a courteous Range officer there. I see no need to get crazy over someone accidentally shooting my target…but targets are individual, (and not cheap for some types). Unless you’re a bad shot… keep your rounds focused on your own target.
Aye bruh
Does anyone know the target distances on this range? Thanks for your reply!
I think you can set them 15′ – 30′ and I’m not sure what other distances…
