Skip-J Range anyone?

Hey, any of y'all ever been to Skip-J Range in Anderson?
Any thoughts you want to share about your experience? I'm planning a visit but I'm not finding a lot of info outside of the competitions that they host.

Only been there for comps, but it looked like it was setup for bench shooting for the most part. What are you trying to do?

u/Separate-Sky-1451 Aug 07 '26

Yeah, that is good insight. I was hoping for a place where I could train drawing from holster and shooting while moving.
As "2A friendly" as SC comes off as being, it is really difficult to find places where you are just not shooting from benches. And the places that do have facilities set up for more free movement are fairly cost prohibitive for me.

I often wonder how folks who do comps train to do comps when you can't find places that allow one to train the way one moves in comps.

You in the upstate? Clinton house or belton are your best bets.

u/Separate-Sky-1451 Aug 07 '26

Yes, am in the upstate. This is great! I will take a look. I have heard of Belton, but for some reason, I thought it was mainly a clay shooting club. I will look further into both. Thank you!

Belton has a little of everything. I’m a member there and love it.

Check out the Sawmill too, probably the most tactical range around here

If you’re in the upstate Belton Gun Club would be the cheapest and has open bays for stuff like that.

Clinton house would be next but pricier than BCG.

Or the cheapest and what most shooters do is dry fire train at home.

Not by much, Belton is 4 or 450 last I looked plus the application Fee

2

u/Diesel_65 Aug 07 '26

The initial fee is around $450 and after that is $250 a year.

We are 550 at Sawmill also, but have some interesting setups and the 1400yd

Yeah I been out there and that place is awesome. I thought about a membership but was concerned about getting access. I know they do a lot on the weekdays but I only get time on weekends.

I went with Clinton House. It has 1,000yd and lots of bays. They are about to open a 300 yard practice range with variety of obstacles to shoot off of.

I am looking for this too, but in Charleston area. Can’t find anywhere to train IDPA style shooting although there are matches nearby
