I went to Efrids today! I did not call before going but did see Mr. Efrid and paid a twenty dollar fee to shoot. He seemed like a really good o'll boy! He helped me with a front sight issue I was having!! I think the price of $175.00 a year seemed pretty good considering the range and amenities. I heard of a rifle and shootgun range on Hwy 601 but have not been able to locate it? If anyone knows of it please message me with it's location.

Pappy is a 1st class guy for sure. The matches down there are great and always great people to shoot with and learn from. Morgan Allen has shot down there and given plenty of good advice to new to IDPA type shooters. He is a really down to earth good guy.

Morgan Allen

No affiliation to him, he just was good about giving me some pointers and a really good guy to talk to at a match. Learned a good deal watching him. I believe he does quite a few matches here locally.

I plan on doing some matches at Pappy's this year. Always fun down there.

Saw a sign on Highway 150 just west of I77 (exit 36 near Mooresville) for a new indoor range. Supposed to be opening this spring in an old marine service center. I'll get some more info next time I drive by.

Coming soon to Cornelius, NC in fall.

But looks to be high price.

Does any one know about Long Creek Rifle & Pistol Club? It's 10 min from my house in Huntersville. I was never able to get member info.

Yeah I know the guy that is opening it. It will be pretty high prices. With the Mooresville range opening, I will never go there anyway

Just went down to the Fairforest Rifle Range on the National Forest down near Union SC this past weekend - quite a drive for me (2 hours or so from Midland NC). I went down with some buddies from Rock Hill. This range has been totally refurbished this past fall & it is a 1st class 100 yard public range. Nice shelter, clean place, 8 benches, no toilets. Best to pack a cooler with water & a lunch - make a day of it. We met lot's of good guys down there, shared advice, shot each other toys, generally just had a safe & fun morning.

After the long drive & almost a tank of gas; I guess I am going to bite the bullet ($175) next month and join Efrid's Range over in Ablemarle, NC. I took my CCW from Efird's son several years back as well. Since then; I've been at least 8 times over the last few years with friends who are members. I think he got tired of me paying the $ 20 guest fee & told me to join or not come back.

Efird's is a good 100 & 150 yard range, decent facilities, & friendly folks. If you live in Charlotte, Concord, or Monroe areas it would be worth while for sure.

EDIT TO ADD

Efird's Rfile Range

but you're a little late for April fools. Is it free ammo, all you can shoot? Do scantily clad models load your mags and change your targets for you?

Seriously, that is absolutely absurd!

Are we allow to shoot clay target or just paper target anyone know at Leed ? it's clay after all.

New range is now open in Concord. I have not been there but I have a friend that went there yesterday.

Check it out and post some feedback.

I can say the store (pre-range completion) was nice and the staff was knowledgeable. Good selection of firearms as well.

You said you're 10 minutes from Charlotte Rifle & Pistol Club. You'll pay 175.00 and drive an hour to shoot 150 yards, but you won't pay 360.00 per year to shoot 300yrds at arguably the finest range in N. or S. Carolina, 10 minutes from your house. You'll be losing money after your third trip to Efird's on gas alone not counting time. Doesn't make sense. There's a reason CRPC is over twice the cost of Efird's. Over 20 300yrd benches, 20 200yrd pistol benches , rimfire range, tactical match and cowboy action range, 3 skeet and two trap fields, 5 stand and an archery range. Three clubhouses one at the 24/7 365 days, members only indoor range in Matthews.

Ok so you've moved that's understandable. However your needs and wants comment makes no sense to me either. Your post implies that you want 300 yards but need only 100; fine. You don't have to answer but from what I take is that you're not being honest with us, or yourself; I'm not sure which one. When you lived 10 minutes from CRPC it still made no sense to waste time and money driving to Efirds when your wants, and NEEDS could have been met at CRPC for less money overall when accounting for fuel. So in an effort to defend your position and make your self right, you are still not being honest with us or yourself. Only you know which one. Just food for thought. Live long and prosper near Efirds my friend.
