Shotgun Events
This year’s shotgun events are going to be held at Palm Beach County Shooting Sports Park (11730 Seminole Pratt Whitney Rd, West Palm Beach, FL 33412 ph. 561-512-0285). This is a relatively new complex funded by the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration program, Palm Beach County, The National Rifle Association, and the Fish and Wildlife Foundation of Florida. They have a very well stocked Pro Shop with ammunition and other supplies available. There is no Clubhouse, Polebarn, Pavilion, ect. There are also no or very limited shade structures on the complex grounds or at the shooting stations. It is recommended that you bring popup shade canopies and chairs. There is also no food available on site, however there are several food providers within a few miles drive.
