Florida’s Shot Heard ‘Round the World Day

WSFR and FWC-managed public shooting ranges

Press Release distributed by AmericanPressTravelNews–4/17/2017—Bob Epstein copying this release for my gun guys and gals!

April 19 marks the Shot Heard ‘Round the World Day, held each year to commemorate the events surrounding the birth of our nation in 1775 and celebrate today’s opportunities for safe and responsible recreational shooting and firearms ownership.You can mark this special day by visiting a new website that provides a wealth of information about FWC-managed public shooting ranges. At this site, you can find where FWC-managed ranges are located and get information about what opportunities they offer, hours of operation, updates, and more!

Recreational shooting is a fun way to spend time outdoors.  We manage nine safe, clean and family-friendly public shooting ranges across the state and have future shooting ranges under construction at Triple ’N Ranch in Osceola County and Palm Beach County. Depending on which FWC-managed range you visit, you can shoot 5-stand, sporting clays, trap, or skeet as well as get some trigger time at the rifle and pistol ranges. Some facilities even offer an archery range.

Did you know that hunters and target shooters are an important funding source for developing and maintaining FWC-managed target shooting ranges — as well as for wildlife management and hunter safety? When hunters purchase firearms, ammunition and archery equipment, they support the hunting and shooting sports industry, which pays into the Wildlife and Sportfish Restoration (WSFR) Program, resulting in millions of dollars to each state. When hunters purchase a Florida hunting license, they play a major role in this program because the amount of WSFR funding that comes back to our state for FWC-managed shooting ranges and wildlife management depends on the number of hunting licenses issued. So we are grateful to the shooting sports industry and each and every licensed hunter for their steadfast support of FWC ranges and wildlife conservation in Florida.

Talking Turkey? Well, Check Out These Call Boxes and a Very Neat Compact Skinn

P1030388APtravelnews-New Products-April 25th, Goose Holler’ Farm-When we were in Indianapolis, Indiana at the huge archery show (ATA) we found several products that we wanted to alert our outbox door sports readers about.  From Knight and Hale Legendary Calls we picked up a Bloodwood Cutter Turkey Call model KHT2001 the wood is rich and the craftsmanship is perfect for an easy use realistic sounding box that will bring a turkey to attention with its deep resonance and authentic sounds mimicking real talking turkey! This is an PRADCO Outdoor Brands Product. Look for it at all hunting supply stores! Go: www.knightandhale.com

Another Box call we really liked was a Primos Hunting products, Hookup, Magnetic Box Call. The magnetic lid automatically applys the correct pressure “for perfect calls everytime!” This is an innovative designed call box and it is a beautifully executed piece of work as well. The rich Gobbles from their “Gobble Band” produces some of the most realistic gobbles possible! Check this pretty, yet no nonsense box also at all hunting supply stores, as well! Both boxes are made in the good old USA! Go www.primos.com

The third item we found was the Raptor Razor Combo Field Dressing Knives. These are big game and small game skinning knives for hunting  enthusiasts. Whether for fishing, industrial use, boating, and of course hunting, the Mako Model and Big Game Skinner Model will probably be the last set of blades you’d need to handle any game gutting, cleaning and skinning needs!
