Located near Summerville, SC, the Palmetto Gun Club offers private access to pistol bays, rifle lines, and an 835-yard long-range line, making it ideal for serious shooters and competitive marksmen.
Palmetto Gun Club is a private, member-driven shooting range nestled in Dorchester County, just outside Summerville, South Carolina. Designed for rifle and pistol disciplines, the facility includes:
Long-range shooters must complete a structured Advanced Marksmanship Course (AMC) to qualify for distances beyond 200 yards. This certification covers ballistics fundamentals, a written exam, and a live-fire evaluation—ensuring that only proficient shooters have access to extended distances.
The range operates during daylight hours for members and their guests, while non-members can participate in scheduled weekend matches. Certified instructors offer classes in handgun safety, rifle marksmanship, and concealed carry. While the facility supports prone shooting and a variety of recreational and competitive formats, props and dynamic stages are not a central focus.
With basic amenities such as camping areas, restrooms, electrical hookups, and showers, Palmetto Gun Club strikes a balance between family-friendly access and a disciplined range culture.
It’s best suited for precision rifle shooters, recreational marksmen, and members working toward long-range proficiency.
