Shooting range in Southeast?

Mountainsheep · #1 06-04-2007, 01:13 PM

Hi guys,

I've just gone through a relocation and I am now firmly planted here in South Carolina. Being new to the area and not knowing much about the area, I was wondering if anyone might know of a range (300 yds.+) in the vacinity.

I'm in the extreme Southwest corner of the state, on Lake Hartwell & the Georgia border.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

The Gun Site Hills range is the longest one in Northeast Georgia that I know about. It is located a few miles east of Lexington Ga on US 78. The guys there are into long range shooting big time. Chief is super. I take it you are a sheep hunter. Where did you move from? Contact me for other info. Thanks.

Check out Mid Carolina Rifle Club, website (I believe) is Mid-Carolina Rifle Club

This is located in South Congaree just outside of Columbia. There are plenty of ranges and out 100& 200 yard range is currently enjoying a great makeover. There are a lot of shooting diciplines involved with this club.

To join, you must be present at one of our monthly meetings and then show up for a range safety briefing. Currently dues are $100/year but that is likely to increase tp $130. We need to pay for certain safety issues and normal range maintenance.

If you live over a certain number of miles from the range and I can't recall the number, the cost is cheaper.

State supported range outside of Lyman Thompsons I think. Get people happy to see you come and shoot.

SCDNR James O. Thomason Firing Range (Spartanburg County) From Pauline, take SC Hwy. 215 approximately ½ mile east toward Glenn Springs. Turn left on Foster Mill Road and drive 2.5 miles (paved road becomes gravel road). Range is on the left side of the road. Hours: Tuesday - Saturday: 9 am - 5 pm (EST) or as posted. Closed Sunday and Monday
