tactical fitness competitions at gun craft in ruskin

Gun Craft is a family owned outdoor range in Ruskin, open to the public, and it carries the busiest competition calendar in the immediate Tampa Bay area. Alongside our events it runs USPSA on the first and third Sundays, Steel Challenge on the second, and cowboy action on the fourth.

There are seven bays running out to 50 yards, most of them under covered pavilions. The floors are dirt, with cement pads under the pavilions themselves, so your footing changes depending on where a stage puts you. That shade matters more than it sounds like it should on a Florida match day, and it is part of why a TACFIT event works here. Restrooms are in the office. The range does not supply drinking water, so whatever you plan to drink, bring it with you.

The busy calendar is worth knowing about even if you are not entering our events yet. If you have never shot a match of any kind, those USPSA and Steel Challenge mornings are the cheapest reps you will find anywhere in the bay area, and they are at the same range you would drive to for a TACFIT event. Learning the range commands and how a squad works before you add the fitness half makes a first DEFCON event far less overwhelming.
