Anyone in here shoot around Myrtle? Heading to Surfside for the week of the 4th and looking for something to do. I found a 6 stage all-classifier USPSA in Tabor City this Saturday, but I’m trying to see what else is out there.
 
Ant Hill Range has matches on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sundays of each month (and on the 5th Sunday if there is one that month) and isn't a real long drive from Myrtle Beach.
Anthillrange.com for info.

Excellent, thats more what I’m looking for. Are you shooting it?

I must admit I haven’t been in match shooting mode for a few months now, been spending more time on the boat with the family lately. That said I may shoot some of the upcoming matches. Which one (ones) might you be here for?

If I end up shooting one of them I would be happy to meet you there, introduce you around to some great folks. They put on good matches at Ant hill.

We’re heading down Friday after work and staying until the Sunday after the 4th, so I was thinking about doing the USPSA in Tabor City and now that Ant Hill match. I may skip the Tabor City match now that I know about Ant Hill though. But either way, I’m definitely in for the 3 gun.

Hope you have fun, I’m not a 3 gunner so won’t be making that match. Good group there and very helpful to newcomers. I’m sure you will enjoy it!
 
Dave- excellent, I’ll see what its all about.

And Ikarus- we have a house on 5th ave north in Surfside and were down there Memorial weekend. Apparently the night we left Surfside PD got in a high speed chase with a truck that stole a bike from a neighborhood around 8th or 9th Ave South in Surfside. Was watching the dash cam video a couple weeks ago, and they turned on to 5th north about 100 yards up the street from our house. Shits nuts down there during bike week haha
 
My sis lives in Golfcart I mean Garden City. It's still a zoo during any given weekend from Mem-Labor day. I avoid it like the plague.........free place to stay notwithstanding
 
Yeah, once you got south of the old Pavilion it used to be non-tourist-y and fairly quiet when I was growing up, but it seems like the last 15 years or so its started to be more like Myrtle. And the town council has managed to piss a lot of people off in recent years. We usually go to Murrell’s Inlet anyway- the bar scene at the Marshwalk is more my speed than the Myrtle clubs (except for the occasional bachelor party of course). Ehh, maybe someone rich will come along and buy our place for twice what its worth to build a massive stilt house haha!
 
Oh and by the way- I’m part of the surfside golf cart gang. Except my golf cart is a permanently-mud-covered RZR 1000 because someone at the Bennettsville DMV wasn’t paying attention to the permit application at 4:55pm one Friday haha!

Yep that's what happened with the family place on 15th N in Surfside near the Holiday Inn. In 2 years it went from a quiet beach house to HDs up and down the roads all day and night with modulars on stilts going up on every corner. Dad cashed out and moved to FL only to lose his arse in the great Real Estate bust of 2008........finally broke even and moved to Lenoir.

Spent many a morning fishing those rocks at the Holiday Inn for weakfish ;)

Yeah it sucks. We got down there Thursday night before Memorial weekend and the dogs kept me up until about 4am terrified. Every 15 minutes you would hear them hauling ass up and down 5th. The second night I had enough to drink that I never even heard them haha.
 
Any idea if they have matches? Couldn’t find anything online.

The "half-decent" range in Conway is a super-nice Private Range owned by CFF's own Battery Oaks Billy. Billy is a CFF treasure and a knowledgeable friend to all here at CFF... Hit him up for any specifics.

I'm hearing some soft rumblings of a possible CFF/ Battery Oaks "Blind Stages" handgun match at B.O. sometime this fall.
If Billy's Merry Band of Wizards, Demons and Warlocks do their thing and it becomes a reality, It promises to an be an eye opener and definitely will allow shooters to truly gage one's actual shooting skill set and truly be accountable for each shot.

Hell yeah! Is that “The Gun Store” in Conway? I’ll stop in there while I’m down. Getting back after August is going to be tough because of school, but we usually at least come down for Labor Day. I might be able to convince the wife to go down with me for a long weekend whenever he starts holding matches too, I’ll just conveniently “find out about it” the day we leave home and pack all my gear.
 
We have a timeshare at N Myrtle Beach and I have often wondered the same thing. About 2 yrs ago, my wife and I did a BUG match at Ant Hill on our way to the timeshare.
