SC "Palmetto State" Region Train Forum

[Icculus]

I'm up in Asheville and so only about an hour away if you put something together around Greenville I would be interested.

I'm in Aiken and willing to travel, I'm new to the AR world so i would love to learn somethings.

[XxMerlinxX]

Is this still going to happen? I'd definitely be interested if so.

Keeping the thread alive, also live in the upstate and would be interested in joining in a shoot in the area! Also, live in the upstate.

OK guys, I have been freaking slammed at work since I first posted about getting something together. I also got handed a great opportunity for us. I am directing a new carbine match at the Skip J Range in Anderson. I really want to thank the Club Director Jerry James for this opportunity, as it is something our area sorely needed.

I didn't announce the 1st match just to see what kind of turnout the club roster would bring and we did pretty good. So, for now, the 3rd Saturday of the Month will be the Skip J Range Tactical Carbine match here in Anderson. Here is a posted AAR I just did up on this past weekend's match.

This will be a carbine only match for now. The match fee is $12. We do have a great shotgun and IDPA pistol match every month as well, so if you have interest come out for those too.

As far as a meet date goes, when will be a good date for you guys? Possibly the 29th of July? This date is not a date announcement, just checking to see if it is a good one for you all?

I was going to be there but had to back out.
I plan on being there for the next one.

What are you planning for a "meet" on the Friday the 29th? Would this be a shoot or just a meet and greet?

Great video by the way and thanks for all the effort of getting folks together.

Looking forward to participating.

That date works for me.

On another note, anybody around Columbia that would like to train at MCRC, let me know. Current shooting buddy has schedule (work) problems.

[RD62]

I just join MCRC in April. I've shot a couple IDPA matches and spent some time with the plate machine and with the AR in the plinking bay this past weekend. I might be interested in meeting up to run some drills sometime.

Only ever so slightly related, gents: I'm going to be in Charleston, SC, from 7-14 July.

I'll be staying over the 9-10 July weekend, and was wondering as to whether there are any worthwhile shooting venues within the Hilton Head/Columbia/Myrtle Beach arc. Trying to stay within a 2hr drive.

Also interested if there are any worthwhile training entities conducting pistol classes in the same area, just in case I find myself in the mood for something structured.

I'll be working around the geeks at SPAWAR, and I don't expect them to know dick about the practice/use of firearms outside of an XBOX controller, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

There is a USPSA match at Mid Carolina Rifle Club in Columbia. Not sure what else is available in the low country.

As a general heads up, be careful driving through small towns - speed enforcement generates revenue and many towns are pretty strict. North Charleston is a high crime area as well.
