How long is the Indoor Range at Shooter's Club in Metairie?

[dfsutton]

Anyone know how long that range is?

 

[SpeedRacer]

25 yards I do believe

 

[tactical723]

You are correct 25 yds

 

[Nolacopusmc]

Actually guys, it is more like 45 feet. i am almost positive. It is not a true 25 yards.

 

[tactical723]

I used to shoot .45 bulleseye matches in the 80's when Louie Theriot owned the range, I know for a fact, the stalls and cables could be backed up to 75 ft, unless they renovated or changed the cables/tracks and steel walls in the back since Jefferson Indoor took over, I have shot since the transition and it does appear to the be the same cables and tracks

 

[SpeedRacer]

I know it sure as hell feels like 25 yards.

Next question...how far back are the plates at Honey Island's pistol range? They are 25yds as well, correct?

Fair enough. i was there today, and for the life of me, it did not look like 25. maybe I am crazy because I am used to wider ranges.

Were you at the one on David or Hickory? The tiny range on David is probably 45', but I'm pretty sure the one on hickory is 25 yards.

The Shooters Club range is not 25 yards differant back stop since the Louie owned it. The tape says it is 62 feet

 

[LACamper]

I didn't think the one on David was even 45'.

 

[SpeedRacer]

I'd guess the one on David is about 25' with the target all the way back to the dung pile. I consider that a "gun testing" range. I can't imagine why anyone would go out of their way to shoot in that **** hole.

i was at Shooter's on Hickory. My perception is probably off, but it looks short of 25 yards to me.

 

[Request Dust Off]

I'm with NolaCop on this.
I think it is short of 25 yrd. I shot there with a member & he said same.

Either way it is what it is.

Bayou Dragon is 50 yds.

I was a at an outdoor range once and a guy with us pulls out his laser range finder and looks at the the 50yd targets and proclaims they are at 51. It was hilarious at the moment.

 

[Nolacopusmc]

Just called Mike at Shooter's club. He says that from the edge of the counter to where the targets stop dead is about 72-73 feet. One would have to step a couple feet back to make it a true 25 yards.

Thought it was much shorter than that.

 

[tactical723]

One of the fellows said that it is a different backtop than when Louie had it, so it would be a little shy of 75 feet, especially since they probably never moved the old steel just added to it,

 

[bayouthunder]

It is shortet than that i measured it myself from bench to where hanger stops, is 62 feet. theres 5 feet of room behind the traps and the the trap is 5 feet the hanger stops at about 62 feet
