Range Description
Triple A Sporting Goods, operating as Square 1 Shooting Range and Outdoor Venue, is a premier shooting facility located in the picturesque setting of Lake Placid, Florida. Nestled within a beautiful oak hammock on the historic Square 1 Cattle Ranch, this venue offers a unique blend of outdoor shooting experiences and family heritage. The property has been in the Hinton family since the late 1970s, originally purchased by Reo Hinton and now managed by his daughter, Daphne Hinton, and granddaughter, Martile Blackman. This family-run establishment not only serves as a shooting range but also as a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of city life, making it an inviting destination for both locals and visitors. The facility features three distinct shooting ranges: a pistol range for handguns, a rifle range with a maximum distance of 500 yards, and a sporting clay course with 14 stations set in a serene environment. The rifle range includes 10 covered bays, with 8 seated and 2 prone positions, and offers interactive steel targets for a more engaging shooting experience. The sporting clay course is designed to challenge shooters of all skill levels and is fully shaded, providing a comfortable shooting environment. While the specific pricing for day passes and memberships is not detailed, the range does offer private lessons through Justified Defense, ensuring that both beginners and experienced shooters can improve their skills. Safety is a top priority, with mandatory eye and ear protection for all shooters. The range is currently closed from July 24th until October 1, 2025, for weather and maintenance, but it promises a welcoming atmosphere and excellent customer service. Whether you are a novice looking to learn or an experienced shooter wanting to hone your skills, Square 1 Shooting Range offers a comprehensive and enjoyable shooting experience in a stunning natural setting.
