⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently had the pleasure of taking a firearms training course with Brian Garcia at South River Gun Club, and I can’t recommend him highly enough! As someone who had never owned a firearm before, I was understandably nervous about the experience. From the moment I stepped onto the range, Brian's calm demeanor and expertise put me at ease.

Brian is a true wealth of knowledge when it comes to firearms and gun safety. His patience and thorough explanations made all the difference for me as a beginner. He took the time to ensure I understood not only how to handle my firearm but also the importance of safety protocols—his knowledge in this area exceeded my expectations!

What stood out most was Brian’s commitment to equipping me with the skills I need as a new gun owner. He made sure I understood the purpose of my firearm and how to use it responsibly, which is key for anyone looking to purchase a gun.

If you’re looking for a firearms instructor who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about your learning experience, I highly recommend Brian. He is perfect for families and newcomers, experienced gun users, and I feel much more confident in my abilities thanks to his guidance. Thank you, Brian, for an incredible experience!

Visited from Philly to shoot USPSA match with a few friends(AACS). Awesome, well run event. Facility was clean, safe, and well stocked. You can see the pride in the members. AC in lower restrooms was a plus in that 95°heat. Match setup was top notch & water cart was appreciated. Will be back.

South River Gun Club: A Premier Shooting Destination

South River Gun Club is hands-down one of the best shooting facilities in the Southeast. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or just getting started, this club has everything you need to train, improve, and compete at the highest level.

One of the standout features of South River is its top-tier training opportunities. The club attracts some of the best instructors in the industry, offering courses that cater to all skill levels. Whether you’re working on fundamentals or refining advanced techniques, the training available here is second to none.

The action pistol bays are another huge highlight. Spacious, well-maintained, and designed with practical shooting in mind, these bays make South River a prime location for dynamic training and competition. If you’re serious about pistol shooting, there’s no better place to hone your skills.

For competitors, South River Gun Club is a must-visit for USPSA shooters. The club hosts some of the best USPSA tournaments in the region, with challenging, well-designed stages that push competitors to perform at their best. The matches are always well-organized, and the community of shooters is welcoming and supportive, making every event a great experience.

The only drawback is the rifle range, which is by appointment only. While understandable from a management perspective, this limitation makes it less accessible for casual rifle shooters. Honestly, it might be better utilized as something more functional—an archery range, for example, could bring in more members and expand the club’s offerings.

Overall, South River Gun Club is a fantastic facility for pistol and action shooting enthusiasts. With top-notch training, excellent action bays, and outstanding USPSA matches, it’s a go-to destination for anyone serious about the sport. If they can find a better use for the rifle range, this place would be nearly perfect!

I use to have a membership with my family when I was in middle school lovely place, the people were so nice. But now recently coming back to enjoy it again with my family they treated us like we were nobody’s, looked at us up and down treated us like we were stupid ! And acted like we didn’t know nothing about gun safety. I couldn’t even shoot without a worker looking at me and asking to show me how to do everything for me every second ! Yes I may be a women but that doesn’t make me stupid and just because I bring someone covered in tattoos doesn’t mean that you should judge them and look at them like there less than you! And also I started hunting at the age of 11 I know my gun safety and touching my gun and snatching it out of my family member hand and unloading it was very uncalled for which the owner did that by the way to all the reviewers reading ! Don’t go here if you don’t wear country club attire.

This range has a lot of different rules and what you shoot is one of them. You have to have a membership to shoot air guns. Honestly it seems like a way to bring in revenue. This isn’t the range for you if you want to sigh in an air rifle without paying extra fees like regular firearms.

As a member, this is a great facility. Open to all, from amateur to professional. The staff and other members are always open to help guest or new members. Haven't seen any klansmen...

Great range! It has a lot to offer as a member. They host a lot of great matches and classes. No tolerance for speeding there
