Well Saturday and Sundays are tough, all the military yahoos and young bucks like to come down there with an arsenal of modified home built tactical guns that most of them should not be behind in the first place, just too many inexperienced young fellows who just got their new Glock 9 (cause it's cool to say you got one I guess) and they just ring off rounds like they stole th bullets.
Go during the week, it's a breeze. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THAT PERMIT OR THEY WILL BUST YOU WITH A $125.00 FINE... yes I am yelling to save you some money.
Make sure you get there 45 minutes to and hour before the range opens, take a jug of coffee and the newspaper and set it out, if you get there at 20 minutes before it opens, just go back home. Most of the guys down there come with 4-6 guns and they plan to be there awhile, most of them are from DC, so, they come down to show off there guns, there are there for no other purpose.
Overall opinion, buy a club membership and get in with some guys who are safe, experienced shooters, and have some brains in there skulls.
This is the reason I have been trying to find someone who shoots in their backyard, I prefer a more controlled environment where I don't spend all my time looking to see where the other knothead is pointing his barrel.
My wife and I go down there sometimes and we bang it out for an hour and then get the hell out of there, after the first hour, the egos and the confidence starts to climb in those guys and they start getting careless and sloppy, so, you gotta know when to leave.

PS: if there's a guy down there from Myrtle Grove staff named Dan Eversberg, put your best pair of earmuffs on and wait for him to leave, I guess he has to make everyone know that he knows it all with the range rules, and for the love of shooting, do not shoot his pretty little target stands up, it just pisses him off.
