Saw the list is open for the first time I can remember, planned to stop by tomorrow. Was curious if there were any members here that cared to comment one way or another. Wondering why spots are finally opening?
 
Good to hear thanks. Now I just need to find out how long the wait list they're opening is!
 
I belong to another Brunswick County range that is fairly close to my farm and have not tried to get into Ant Hill even though it is closer to where I live. I have been there several times for matches and classes. You would do well to get into Ant Hill especially since it is so close to you. My experience has been that it is well maintained and well run. Good luck.
 
Thanks. I got through to Ye Olde as well, I’ll join one or the other. I’m actually closer to Southport. Always heard good things about Ant Hill and used to know a member but he moved up towards Raleigh so don’t know if he’s still there. Anyway, will probably depend on the wait.
 
Ant Hill is a great range and the folks there are top notch. Only downsides are fairly limited amenities and unless something is different than when I was a member, they rent the land and things are being developed around there so you know how that could go. Hopefully that day never comes.

Even after I joined Buccaneer I maintained my membership there for a couple years since it was so cheap and I really like the people.
 
While you are waiting on membership, keep in mind that the competitions such as IDPA are not limited to members. Look at the web site to find out what events are planned. The same is true of Buccaneer. Buccaneer is having IDPA this Saturday and other matches on a regular basis. Their web site had schedules. One thing that might throw you off is the statement on the web page that the matches are open to members, guests, and members of the general public who might be considering membership. That does not mean that you are actually planning on trying to join. Just about anyone in the public, with a very few exceptions, can be thought of as possibly considering joining. That statement was written for rather specific reasons. If you can legally own firearms and have never resigned your membership, the reasons do not apply to you.
 
I shot USPSA there in the late 90s and early 2000s and was a member for a couple of years. Beautiful range, I miss that place and the people.

Sorry I can’t help with the question, but it’s good to hear they’re still shooting.

Interesting point about rented land, agree it’s growing, 211 is about to be a 4 lane and that while intersection held down by Worms & Coffee is about to be a giant strip mall. Ye Olde isn’t in much better shape being across for St. James but at least they own the land as I understand it.

I just bought 9 acres about 10 miles away. Longer term I plan to build a backstop and should be good for a couple hundred yards. But same as a long waitlist, I don’t want to NOT shoot for the next year or two while I get things cleared etc.

Thanks for the feedback!
