Looking for a gun club to join

Moved to Aventura (north of Miami) from out of state and look for a local gun club to join. I shoot at least once a week, so annual membership would be more economical for me.
Need a place that allows to shoot regular (non-frangible) rifle ammo; many public ranges don’t allow it.
Thank you,

Pembroke indoor isnt far from you, west of Pembroke Rd in the warehouses to the south.

Thank you!
If you refer to Pembroke Gun & Range, they’re public range and only allow frangible ammo for rifles.
So no-go for me...
Thanks again,

If non frangible and rifle is a deal breaker your options are shoot straight in fort lauderdale (indoor), bass pro (indoor, slow fire, no memberships) or outdoors at markham (slow fire, public, range nazis) in west broward, or trail glades (same) in miami.
Nexus is a possibility in Davie as well.
Most ranges down here are public, and the few with memberships, (hollywood gun club), are pistol caliber only. There were and maybe are private ranges in the Redlands but thats a 1 to 2 hour drive from Aventura.

Addendum
Pembroke also allows shotguns with buckshot indoors.
Check out IDPA and IPSC for rifle events elsewhere.

Is Pop's/Sharon's still open?

Taking a quick look online, pops / Sharon's is open but considering all the drama that's going on there I think I'd skip it. The last few times I tried to schedule anything there she was non-responsive or agreed to do stuff and when I showed up with a group had already booked other people there and wouldn't allow anyone else on site

Pops/Sharon place is not where I would send any shooter...unless I really didn't like them. It's really too bad as it has a lot of potential.
Dealing with Sharon is like playing Russia Roulettes literally.

I’m sure Tector said that in jest.
That Sharon bitch IS CRAZY!
