If you missed it, we hope to see you next year!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Suppressors are more popular than ever before, but a lot of shooters are still hesitant to take the plunge into ownership. We\u2019re here to change that.<\/p>\n<p>CANCON is the world&#8217;s largest fully suppressed range day, and this year\u2019s event at the Clinton House Plantation in Clinton, S.C., was bigger and better than ever before. An unprecedented number of shooters cycled through the gates over the weekend to get hands-on experience with the largest variety of cans available at a single event.<\/p>\n<p>Some attendees were there as prospective first-time owners looking to learn, try and buy. Others were seasoned suppressor shooters perusing the newest models to add to their collection. Others were there just for some good old-fashioned American fun, like blasting suppressed machine guns!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CANCON-Carolinas-2025-shooting-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"CANCON Carolinas 2025 shooting\" class=\"wp-image-300221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CANCON-Carolinas-2025-shooting-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CANCON-Carolinas-2025-shooting-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CANCON-Carolinas-2025-shooting-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CANCON-Carolinas-2025-shooting-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CANCON-Carolinas-2025-shooting-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CANCON-Carolinas-2025-shooting-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CANCON-Carolinas-2025-shooting-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CANCON-Carolinas-2025-shooting-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CANCON-Carolinas-2025-shooting-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CANCON-Carolinas-2025-shooting.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>If that&#8217;s not enough for you, CANCON also hosts shooting competitions with amazing prizes, survival classes and purveyors of high-end blades.

Situated in the beautiful woods of South Carolina, the massive range has enough pistol and rifle lanes to accommodate the dozens of companies that come out with their cans and guns. Plus, a 1,000-yard range and a 1-mile range for those looking to really reach out. With this much room to stretch out in, it means lines stay short even when attendance is at its apex. Result?
