AAFTA shows there is a club in Arcadia, FL. Desoto Airgunners. Not sure if that's close enough for you.

De Soto Airgunners is about 80 miles from Tampa. When I lived in Zephyrhills, I shot there all the time. It was a 105 mile drive for me. Good bunch of guys.

I know of four very active shooters from the De Soto club. You will love that group.

I don't know if any of them are on Airgun Nation.

Welcome to AGN Miguel! I’m in the Lakeland area as well. Good to know there are other airgunners around here. Most of the good ole Florida boys prefer pb to airguns but I’m working on slowly educating them!

Thank you friend, that’s great to hear!
I live in the Deerbrook community in south Lakeland off of Ewell rd. I’m a soon to be retired Deputy Sheriff for HCSO; I work in Tampa but moved to Lakeland about 7 years ago and absolutely love the area and the people here. Anyway, if you’re interested in doing some shooting or talking more about air guns, shoot me a PM or look me up on FB. Have a great day!!

Anyone around the Miami area? Will be visiting in early December.
I used to live in the Tampa Bay Area. There was a fairly active...but low key group of 3-5 that shot FT at someone's private property. That was 10+ years ago. Wondering if they are still active.

Hello John,
Thank you very much for the info. I was so looking forward to coming, but unfortunately I have a prior archery competition I had committed to going with some close friends. Anyway, I’ll be there on the next match.
Have a great day,
Miguel.
