    I am getting a new rifle this week and I'm wanting to take it out past 100 yards/meters. Are there any ranges where I don't have to be a member to shoot that have rifle ranges over 100 yards/meters? I'm in NOLA and I don't want to drive more than probably 2-2.5 hours one way.

    You want yards or meters? I doubt you'll find a range measured in meters. I've nerve seen one. Anyway, Honey Island has a 100 yard rifle range. that's just the first one that pops into my head. Check out www.wheretoshoot.org .

    I'll be departing the Best Bank @ ~0650 hrs Sunday 07Sept14. Send me a PM if you want to ride.

    You'll need: $6 entrance fee, any license issued by the LDWF, valid ID, ears, safety glasses, waters, and a lunch. I stay until ~1200 hrs, generally, so pack lots of ammo. A wagon helps you carry everything, if you have one. I'm gimpy, so I park inside, closer to the check-in station.

    No loaded firearms in my truck, once we hit the WMA.

    Man, I'd love to go, but I have church on Sunday mornings. I appreciate the offer...and my rifle hasn't come in just yet. :cool:

    This may be a crazy question, but do any of these ranges have a chronograph? I need to check my bullet speed for ballistic charts...I'm getting into long range shooting with my new rifle and I'm heading out to Washington State in October to do some hunting and I just want to make sure that my calculations are correct for distances.

    +1 on this one. Its where i go and they are open Wed-Sun. Last i went anyway.

    They also have an archery range . They were doing some work on it last time i went though.


    Be warned though this time of year the rifle range gets full from hunters

    I just got off the phone with Eymard and they are closed till October 1 because the Levee district is doing work behind the berm.
