abelew,

Where in FL are you? What range do you go to? I used to go to American Indoor off of Pembroke road in Hallandale. I used to go quite often so the guys there knew me. If the range was empty, they would let me go in and set up multiple target and draw from my holster. It is just too dangerous to let total strangers do that kind of practice without knowing their level of skill or even basic knowledge of gun safety. Don't forget that gun ranges are in business of making money and lawsuits are a great waste of money.

Get to know the guys at the range and find out when is their slowest time. They are much less likely to reject if there isn't much liability. Another thing is they won't have to explain to some newbie why you are allowed to do those kinds of drill and why he isn't.
