PUBLIC DAY

Public Day at the SCGAA range is the first Sunday of every month. We welcome the public to come check us out and use our shooting facilities from 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM. The rifle, pistol and plinking ranges are available.

Public Day is offered as a free public service. All ranges are supervised by SCGAA Range Safety Officers which are NRA certified firearm safety instructors. The SCGAA facility is at 2400 Gun Range Road (off of Osceola Road) near Geneva, FL. - Please see our map.

While we strive to keep our range open at all times, there are the occasional closures due to weather or natural disaster (like wildfires). Please call our information phone line at 407-349-5152 to verify the range schedule beforehand.
