BR Area Ranges

[TriggerLube]

I am fairly new to the BR area and am looking for a good place to shoot. I have a few handguns, a rifle, and a shotgun. The rifle is a .17 HMR. I've only shot it one time and I'd like to get to an outdoor range to enjoy it. I've still never fired the shotgun. I see that as a problem that needs remedying too.

Any good ranges around BR? I've heard about Precision and the outdoor range in Port Allen. Any advice on where to go?

There's also the Diamond shooting range.

If you don't mind a 30min drive, there the range @ Sherburne.

This, except it's an hour drive from P'ville. And don't take the I-10 route. Go up Airline and take the 190 route. There's much less gravel road driving that way. You can also take to Port Allen, cut across on LA 1, and then hop on 190 from there.

You can also check out the Ascension Sheriff's range which is open to the public on a couple days a month.

Palo Alto is a private members-only shooting range 40 Miles from Baton via I-10 east to Sorrento then Hwy 70 and Hwy 1 back west through D'ville.

She's an extremely functional and well maintained facility with access restricted by an electronic gate, and she's open to members and their guests every day of the week for the sum of $150 per year plus a one time $100 initiation fee if you join.

It's not uncommon for my travel buddy and I to have Palo Alto to ourselves when we visit on weekdays.

Click here for a description of Palo Alto's three on-site ranges (30 yard, 100 yrd, and 600 yard) and fees.

I've got a membership over at the Diamond Training Center. It's not in the best shape, but it's CHEAP and almost never crowded.

The range is approximately in the red box in the image below

The GPS / Google Earth numbers are:

30°25'46.30" N

91°51'30.41" W

These numbers will put you on the benches of the rifle line.
