A bogus $100 fee for "cleanup" no matter what the reason is dumb. At least call it something practical. It's not that I think anyone would ever get that fine, but just having it and what they call it is ridiculous.
I'll stay in Jefferson. Better range fees, nicer environment, id spend the money I'm saving with gas on ammo.
If I still lived in chalmette I would rather drive out to my uncles house and shoot it where it doesn't cost me a dime.

When I asked about the fee, they told me that it was just to deter people from being complete idiots. Honestly, if someone can't hit a 2 foot by 4 foot target at 50 feet, they may want to reconsider whether or not they should be shooting that particular weapons platform.
Who did you talk to? When I called them on Sat, they said it was a 50.00 "damage fee" because people have already hit the legs and outside edges of the box and caused damage, most likely with steel core kind of ammo. They said they did not initially have that fee, bit had to institute it after people repeatedly striking outside the impact zone and actually damaging the box thing.
What do you think is nicer about the environment? Have not been yet, but have been to the place in jefferson and could not imagine it being more cramped or with a more shady crowd. LOL But then again, it is close to NOLA east.
Allen1911, you seem to like the place, what would you say about the "environment and range fees" versus the other place or something like FITS? Is it worth the trip?
I agree.
The "environment" over there seems pretty laid back and relaxed. Basically told me to handle my weapon safely and have a good time (don't be a d-bag was the actual quote). The range fees seem good to me, plus no rental fees on eyes and ears if you forget yours. I enjoy shooting there or I wouldn't waste my time talking about it. I also enjoy shooting at Shooter's Club and Nick's, just depends where my friends want to meet and what is closer.
Does anyone know why steel case ammo is not allowed at the range?
I called today and a female and male worker both verified that steel case ammo is not allowed, brass only.
I was going to take my brother but he only had steel case with him.

First thought that comes to mind is they may only want ppl to shoot brass case so they can sell the spent cases...(?)
Not sure why steel case is the only one allowed, but maybe there's a higher failure rate with it, leading to more stuck cartridges, which then leads to patrons pointing it an every direction trying to get a better look at what's wrong. Had a guy last week at shootersclub with a stuck steel round.
I can verify that Steel cased is allowed, just not steel core. The female at the range is pretty new and I don't think that she has a firm grasp on the difference between case, core and jacket, LOL. I shoot steel case there all the time. I looked up the rules regarding it on their facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.590008137747991.1073741828.214996888582453&type=3 Hope that this helps clear things up.

It is a very good class, but I don't presume to sound like I have evaluated every instructor in Louisiana, LOL. I have attended 4 total CHP classes total and just wanted to say that his was definately the most informative of the ones that I attended. I plan on going to as many different instructors as possible to get as broad of knowledge base as possible for my information. I don't want to sound like I am married to any one instructor, sorry if it came across that way.
