Where to shoot SSR in FL

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here it goes.

Have been thinking about wintering in Florida next year. Actually mid State some place but want to be able to shoot while there. Not looking for a shooting range that is geared for action pistol shooting. I've had enought of that. Looking for a place to shoot out to a min. of 200 yards with my single shot rifles. So when would you recommend that I take a look? Where in FL do all the SSR shooter gather?

I'd rather not be anywhere close to a big city. I get more than twitchy when there is too much civilizaton about! That's off the range also!!!!

Check out the Sebastian/Vero Beach/Melbourne area. Florida Schuetzenverin has matches nearby. (Pt. Malabar, I think).  There is a good county range at Rt. 512, just off 95 (Sebastian). They have rifle to 200 yds., pistol, shotgun and more! Good fishing nearby at the inlet. An hour south +- is Jupiter. Loxahatchee River classified "Wild & Scenic". Worth kayaking to the upper reaches. Jonathan Dickenson State Park has RV sites, hiking, biking, lots to do. Also good fishing, shopping and the beginning of "the tropics". I lived there for 30+ years and find it still a nice place to visit.

Also fine range near Lakeland..."Lakeland Rifle Club" or something similar.  Problem is, most good ranges are near sizeable cities; for most country boys, a pickup hood is all the benchrest they need.
