Jefferson County Gun Ranges

Jefferson County, with its county seat in Monticello, is a historically rich, largely agricultural county in the Panhandle. It is one of the few counties in the region that does not have a major FWC-managed public shooting facility within its borders. Shooters in this area primarily rely on facilities in adjacent Leon County (Tallahassee area) or one local firearm dealer that may provide range services.
