I go to the Spring Southern SxS in Sanford primarily for the Parker/LC Challenge. I might do one round of SC for practice (shot early in the AM Friday) and will usually shoot between 1 and 2 cases of shells total, mostly on the challenge 5-stand. The SC course was 6 stations (5 eight Bird and 1 ten Bird) with separate stations on the single course for 10/12/16ga and 20/24/28/& smaller.
The Fall Southern at Backwoods is definitely for burning powder. You can shoot all of the events there, and do it again too if you are of a mind to do so. I don't recall any backups and the stations are not too far apart to just pass one by if a group is already there, go back, or get it on the way out. The SC course is generally set on two separate layouts, one for large bore and one for small. Hotel rooms are plentifull in Georgetown, SC and cheap as the shoot occurs during the off-season for beachgoers. This will be the 3rd year for the Fall Southern, vendor participation has grown dramatically and anyone who like to really shoot should consider putting it on their calendar.
I go to both and will continue to do so.
