| The
city of Nassau is located on the island of New Providence. Ironically,
one of the smaller islands in the commonwealth is home to the capital
city, Nassau, and over 80% of the country's population.
With
a long colorful past which includes pirates, British Loyalists from
the Revolutionary War, and Rum Runners from the prohibition era,
the city of Nassau boasts many old buildings and forts that provide
outstanding backgrounds for all kinds of shooting requirements.
The historical sites contrast sharply to the modern development
on the island as well. There are over 20 hotels on the island, with
2 major casino resorts, and a tourism infrastructure in place that
rivals any destination in the world.

The
coast of Nassau is just as diversified as the town. Along the northeast
side of the island you will find long lonely sand beaches with waves
coming in.
Just
north of our operations base, is an area of iron shore (rock) and
the islands natural deep water harbor with cliffs 40 feet above
the waters. On the weekends you can usually catch local teens jumping
off the cliffs into the water. Below, there are caves caused by
hundreds of years worth of waves crashing into the wall, along with
the unique aspect of hand carved stone steps cut into the cliffs
dating back to the days of Blackbeard the Pirate.
South
of our base of operations you will find more shallow waters and
beaches as this is the leeward (calm) side of the island.
