Shooters World will bring a retail firearms store, shooting facility and training facility at the newly designated Powell Plaza at Powell Road and County Road 44A.

Plenty of Villagers are already familiar with Shooters World.

The Villages Straight Shooters club has been taking monthly bus trips to the Shooters World facility in Tampa. When Villagers started talking about residents’ enthusiasm for target shooting and personal protection, Shooters World General Manager Bruce Kitzis became interested in an opportunity here.

Floridians’ desire for personal safety and protection has resulted in strong growth for Shooters World which is also working on a new location in Orlando.

“People are more and more concerned about safety,” said Kitzis.

Women in particular are showing those concerns. Women are the fastest-growing demographic for the business. To meet that need, Shooters World offers classes tailored specifically for women.
