Provo, Utah –-(Ammoland.com)- Stone Hart’s Gun Club & Indoor Range has teamed with Action Target to build a progressive shooting range families can enjoy.

Located near the Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport, the new facilities include a firearm and ammo retail store, two indoor shooting ranges and classrooms for in-depth instruction.

The idea for the range came in 2010 when three friends started playing with the idea of building a test range for their growing ammunition company. The idea soon evolved into something bigger, however, when they realized how few resources were available to shooters in the Miami area. Instead of building a range like all the others they had seen, they decided to create something that would have a positive impact on the shooting community.

“Our main goal is not to sell guns or ammo or memberships, but to offer people entertainment, training and therapy,” managing partner Adolfo Vivas said. “I wanted to make the best range in South Florida, and I think we’re finally going to get it.”

Stone Hart’s features two eight-lane 75’ ranges (one for handgun shooting and one for rifle shooting) equipped with the latest technology like target retrievers from Action Target with digital distance control and a Carey’s ventilation system that removes 99.7 percent of contaminates and lead dust from the air to keep shooters and the environment safe. But the owners believe the most unique aspect of their range is the family friendly environment.

“Our approach is family-oriented. It’s not like a men’s club,” Vivas’ business partner Augusto Luna said. “We want to make it welcoming to families. We want people to be comfortable bringing their kids so they’re aware of firearms at an early age and can learn how to handle them safely.”

Stone Hart’s managing partners have gone out of their way to provide firearms education by hiring three professional trainers including former Top Shot contestant Gabby Franco to teach classes on self defense, concealed carry and shooting safety. Free seminars for children on gun safety will also be offered.

In addition to educational classes, future activities will also include competitions, contest, games and ladies’ nights.

“We want to be a 5-star range, so we’re working toward that right now,” Luna said. “We’re just scratching the surface right now for what we want to do. We have big plans for this place.”

Among their big plans are a deli sandwich counter in the pro shop, free cable and wireless Internet and future ranges for archery and tactical training.

“Now that people have options,” Luna said, “it’s opening people’s eyes as to what a range should be.

I visited this nice range last December 2012 for the first time. Its team is great and very professional. I live some miles away but nothing better than "Stone Hart's Gun Club" for Kendall residents. Thank you guys for your excellent services.

Ditto! The facility is not as close as I'd like but well worth the ride. I was there for the calibration sessions and I must say it was phenomenal. Miami is hot and muggy, many patrons were present, the range was cool as a cucumber. Nice all round. Can't wait for all the amenities to be up and running. I too became a member on that night. I hand load and this type of range is perfect for determination of the perfect loads. Hats off to all!

became a member months before they opened, since i live very near by, once they opened i took the family in for a look at the facility, and everyone treated us like long time friends. We could see that the facility has the potential of being a leader in the industry. Memberships also include assitence with FFL transfers which they helped me with and made the process quick and easy. best of luck to you guys. and thanks again for you help

What they heaved accomplished so far is spectacular, it's a beautiful facility with a great staff. And their plans are far ranging and hopefully will attract new local members.
