I’m gonna be down in Florida, in the Orlando area, all summer working, I figured I could spend a weekend and go to a pistol class while I’m there. Is there anywhere in Florida y’all would recommend to go to? Thanks.
 
They shoot a lot of steel at Volusia Hunt Gun Club. Couple USPSA venues around Orlando also.
^^^Like said.^^^

There are some classes and all kinds of fun match competitions. Pretty much whatever you are looking for: ipsc, idpa, steel challenge. Something going on every weekend and usually during the week too. There’s a public day on Wednesdays if you’re up for that.

I'm not personally familiar, but some of the known traveling instructors I follow to see if they hold anything here in Jacksonville, some hold classes right up the rd from Orlando in Leesburg at: https://arestrainingfacility.com/

Their website calendar isn't updated but there are a few things showing on their Facebook page.

A lot of instruction dries up here in the summer.
 
still shooting the cow pasture on the old wooden platforms that wobble?

I couldn't say, as I haven't shot there. I went down there from Jax to take a look around and get some more specifics than what was listed on the Club's website. But no one should waste their time just driving there to see if they can shoot on the 1K range. Last I knew it was only open the “second Saturday and Wednesdays before monthly matches”. Check the club's calendar and the facebook page of Precision Shooting Services to get the availability. Most of the time it looks like they sell out of the slots for the practice sessions in advance.

There is also a range across the st for periodic 2200 ELR practice managed by Scot Geottsch at graceinsightgroup.com

Can't believe it has already been a year and a half since driving down. One of these days...
