Lowcountry Guns and Range

Lowcountry Guns and Range operates a 10-lane indoor shooting facility designed for year-round use with 75-foot rifle-rated lanes separated by concrete walls (5 bays per side). The range is fully climate-controlled, open to the public, and accepts walk-ins with no reservation required. Out-of-state shooters welcome—just bring a valid photo ID.

Handguns & Rifles: All centerfire handguns permitted. Rifles must be bench-rested (supported by bipod or sandbag) with control maintained—no rapid fire. Maximum caliber is .30-06. Drawing from a holster is prohibited during general range use.

Shotguns: Only slugs allowed; buckshot and birdshot prohibited due to trap ricochet.
