The Robert Strickland Shooting Range is built to
National Rifle Association standards. It includes a state-of-the-art
baffling and berm system to ensure shooter safety and avoid stray
bullets. Shooting distances are set at seven-yard, 15-yard, 25-yard,
50-yard and 100-yard target positions. The rifle shooting stations have
a variable height swing-out seat that enables a person to shoot from the
left or the right. All of the shooting positions have been made wider to
offer safer and more comfortable shooting. Fans have been generously
spaced to keep shooters cool and help keep the air clean.
The 10-acre parcel at 1180 Indian Lake Road was
donated by Consolidated Tomoka Land Company. The range was named for
former Volusia County Commissioner (District Three) Robert Strickland,
when it opened in 1970. Strickland began his Volusia County Commission
service in 1964; served as chairman of the commission in 1969 and
continued as a “holdover” in the new manager-council government until
1972. Strickland served as Council Chair in 1971.
The Miller Building at Strickland Shooting Range
houses a meeting/education room. The County Council approved naming the
range building after Jerry Miller in honor of his contribution to the
shooting sports.
