I could definitely make trips out to blakely without any trouble! That makes me feel more confident about getting into this.There is a 2500 yard range in Blakely GA, about 123 miles from Valdosta. I host a shoot there a minimum of 2 times a year, in addition to teaching classes there. The entire facility is over 3,000 acres with numerous ranges of several different types.
There is Core Shooting Solutions in Baker FL. Very nice facility with numerous ranges, including a 1,000yd range. I've been invited to come down and run some classes there, just haven't done it yet.
