The gravel road was terrible . A mixture of washboard and craters . I didn't shoot on the rifle range but I did use the check in station over there so I was able to see the " improvements " . :rolleyes:

On the pistol range some dickheads had been shooting skeet on the ground so there was a helluva mess there . I had the place to myself since the weather was crappy .

In my opinion, clay targets should not be allowed on anything but a skeet range (or trap, etc). They are almost as bad as glass bottles and tin cans.

as much rain as we have had, I am surprised you did not get stuck just on the ramp..

this rain will wash the clay away at least.

Some brands of skeet will dissolve away after some time. They make great reactive targets, especially for kids or adults new to the sport. If they were the kind made with tar then they aren't going away.

East side of the Atchafalaya River (across the river from Krotz Springs); go South along the levee from Hwy 190 about 3 miles.
Can get there from I-10 also; go North along levee about 12 miles.

It gets more beat up this time of year because of the weather and hunting traffic. They usually grade it a couple times a year.

SicilianSecrets · Jan 12, 2015

I had the same experience as you dantheman. I went the first week of January, early in the morning around sunrise, and the pistol range was trashed. The wooden target stands were blown into a million pieces, trash everywhere, and just a pathetic sight to see. It was sad to see others abuse something that we get to enjoy.

DaggerBlade · Jan 29, 2015

I went mid month. It was dry but the road was in poor condition. Lots of hunter traffic. The range was in decent shape. Not too many clay pigeons but many of the target stands were in blown to shreds. I can't imagine driving the 12 miles or so miles from I10. The 3 miles from 190 was bad enough. Going there tomorrow. Hopefully they have done something with the road. Lots of people going there to just make noise and feel the recoil. Not a lot of "shooters" there when I was there.

Nice day out there. A little crowded between though between about 12 - 1:30 or so. Had to sight in the Sig 516 w my new burris scope

Rm105629 · Feb 8, 2015

I started going there for the trap range. The setup there is really nice, and I had a good time. I noticed that the trash cans there are shot to hell. The idiots who do that sort of thing should take a long walk off a short pier.

Moondew · Feb 8, 2015

Yea I noticed some brain stem had shot up the can on the trap range and the low (right side) mechanics for the thrower was acting up.

flamatrix99 · Feb 8, 2015

I haven't been out there in a couple years. Now with the baffles I don't see me going again. I used to like going during the week when most people were at work.

Moondew · Feb 8, 2015

I don't mind the baffles. I'm sure it would not be a good thing to have some brain stems lobbing rounds into the woods, trails or over Hwy 190 :-(

Same here, amigo. I wrote an email to LDWF to tell them of the loss of patronage ( which equals loss of revenue, as monies are doled out based upon usage of the individual facilities) due to the baffles on the rifle range,but have received no response, and don't anticipate that they care about it anyway.

larm · Feb 15, 2015

some people have no respect for anything. i never did like a litter bug, bet the old indian is still crying. but, about them baffles..i feel they are a safety hazard, when walking down range you cant look back and see if anyone is dicking around with there firearm. and i heard some weapons got jacked while the shooter was down range.

travis5885 · May 10, 2015

Lol, if you guys knew anybody from Krotz Springs you'd understand !!

Hashler · Sep 25, 2015

Went out this morning and had a good time shooting the .22. There were a couple people at the rifle range but not many. I was the only one at the pistol range. I had a good time and got the 10/22 sighted in for squirrel season. It was fairly clean and the road was in good shape. I only go during the week and early in the morning to beat any crowd if there was any. Shot at the rifle range previously and don't care too much for the baffles but oh well it is what it is.

Pdeben0045 · Nov 3, 2015

I dont mind the baffles, only downside is that my ar pistol sounds like a bomb (bc of the echo) when im trying to sight it in. Also its funny to watch dummies shoot them at times.

Went to Sherburne this morning .
