Gun Clubs in Florida: Competitions, Meets and Club Directory

What kinds of competitions and meets can you find?

Florida clubs host or support a range of organized target sports. The best match for you depends on the discipline, equipment rules, experience level and whether the event is open to nonmembers. Common formats include:

• Shotgun and clay target: American trap, skeet, sporting clays, five-stand and youth clay-target leagues. The Amateur Trapshooting Association and Florida Trapshooters Association publish registered shoots and state-level events.
• Action and practical shooting: USPSA, IDPA, Steel Challenge, ICORE and multi-gun matches. Stages and divisions vary; review the match briefing and club rules before registering.
• Rifle and precision disciplines: CMP Games, high-power rifle, smallbore and rimfire benchrest, silhouette, F-Class and long-range matches.
• Youth, collegiate and adaptive programs: Some clubs host junior teams, school or college teams, beginner programs and community events. Contact the club about age limits, supervision, equipment and eligibility.

“Club match” does not always mean an event is open to everyone. Some clubs are private, some require advance registration or orientation, and some open only specific events to nonmembers. A match calendar is not a guarantee of public access. Contact the organizer before visiting.

Before you attend a match

Check the event listing for the discipline, date, registration link, fees, equipment restrictions, age requirements and spectator policy. Ask whether nonmembers can participate and whether advance orientation, waivers or pre-registration are required. Use the current club rules and event-specific safety briefing; event schedules and facility access can change because of weather, maintenance or private-club policies.

Questions

Why does this page say a membership total is not publicly stated?

Most clubs do not publish a current membership total. This page reports a count only when the organization itself makes one public; otherwise it says “not publicly stated.” Club ages are based on the organization’s published history or a clearly identified state record—not an estimate based on a website’s age.

What should a visitor confirm before a match?

Sources and directory standards

Club descriptions and contact details were compiled from each organization’s official website, current event calendars, the Florida Trapshooters Association, governing-body club directories and Florida’s Division of Corporations records where a corporate filing year is identified. A corporate filing year is labeled as such and is not presented as the club’s claimed founding date. Membership totals are included only where the club publicly states them.

Contact information, operating status, memberships, match schedules and visitor policies can change. Confirm directly with the organization before traveling or registering.
