For those contemplating the Southern Side-by-side at Backwoods Quail Club near the end of October:
I feel compelled to enumerate some outstanding reasons to consider The Fall Southern as a “must attend” event for double gun enthusiasts:
1) The club has outstanding facilities, including all clay target games and two Sporting courses.
2) The grounds are especially spacious with ample room for vendors and attendee parking. No roadside parking is necessary.
3) The club is an easy drive from Georgetown, maybe 15 minutes.
4) For the more cosmopolitan sportsman and companions, the club is a mere 30 minute drive from Pawley’s Island, Litchfield by The Sea, or Murrell’s Inlet on the beautiful SC coast. These communities are delightfully upscale and offer a host of amenities including over 100 golf courses, wonderful beaches, and a bewildering choice of restaurants with some of the finest seafood you will find in America. The restaurant-lined Marsh Walk in Murrells Inlet (home of Mickey Spillane) is especially fun.
5) Within the above coastal communities, you will also find the sculpture and art of Brookgreen Gardens, the beaches and wildlife of Huntington State Park, and more. This can be a delightful diversion for the wife, family and you! Check them out:

So… what’s not to like? Double guns, great golf, great seafood, great accommodations – and an ocean.
