    I'm located in North Pinellas and looking for others in the Central Florida area who share a of love hunting, shooting, and hand loading (reloading). Hopefully I get some responses to this. This is a very busy forum but most of it appears to be the Panhandle area.

    Yep, most of the active folks are up north.

    I'm not far from you, I'm in the Lake/Sumter area. Every once in a while I'll see a post from someone south of us.

    Thanks for the reply. You are definitely closer to the Tampa bay area but still a couple of hours away. With the last post from 2013 and only 15 responses I wasn't sure I would get any better luck. From your handle you are a bow hunter. I'm assuming deer but possibly hog and other game as well.

    I was once quite the bowhunter having lived in WV, TN, and SC. However, since moving back to my home state of FL back in 2003 I've not bow hunted... just can't get into it with the heat, humidity, and skeeters.

    I do a lot of night hunting for coyote and hogs using NV and thermal. I still love to deer hunt but once I get a couple bucks I'm back to night hunting.

    If you're not a member of AR15.com (ARFCOM) you might want to join. There is a Florida Home Town Forum where you will discover A LOT of folks with similar interests. I'm on there with the same screen name.

    I made the screen name back in 1997 or so when ever AOL first came out and hat the chat boards. I had just killed a nice 6-pt so what the hell... Bowhntr6pt was born lol. I've used it on boards since.

    Thanks for the tip. I do belong to AR15 but didn't realize there is a Florida specific forum.

    Hi fellas. I’m over in the Fishhawk area. Since I moved to Fl from La all I do is shoot paper. We own quite a bit of land in La to hunt on but just a house here. My parent’s house was broken into and the safe was stolen so I gave my dad my long guns and a couple of pistols.
    Nice to know there is someone just across the bay.

    WAC member here. Drive there once a week from Tampa.
    I don't hunt but like to shoot and been making my own ammo for 42+ years.
    It's good to see some life from the TB region. I also go to WAC but not as often as I would like. I handload 6.5 Creedmoor, 308, 223/5.5.6 and some pistol rounds. The ability to load your own ammo is a good skill to have.

    Figured I'd throw in on this as well. New to the forum so hello!

    I shoot all the standard stuff; 12g, 22lr, .223/5.56, 9mm. I recently picked up a cap and ball pepperbox to start messing around with black powder for fun. Haven't reloaded any ammo but not adverse to it (just my wallet and storage).
