Precision Firearms in Baton Rouge

[Shonsu]

I went to Precision Firearms in Baton Rouge on Friday, 1/25, to try them and my new Glock 22 out (I'm a newbie pistol owner). I found them quite professional and courteous and didn't have any problems. I've read some complaints about the lack of ventilation and A/C in the firing bay and I can attest to that. They could use more ventilation and need to put more A/C work in there, it was quite warm. But other than that it was pretty nice. I'd definitely recommend it and plan on going back.

It seems to vary, sometimes I go in there and it's hot and others the target is blowing around and my eyes dry out from the breeze.

Staff has always been excellent to me. As you said, the range itself and the equipment need some serious renovation.

The plate rack needs some help big time, probably just a good cleaning. I have hit some plates with 9 and it didn't fall over, OK, but I hit a plate with .45 the other day and it wobbled and stayed up.

If you don't hit the top 1/2" of the plates with low power nines they barely even wobble, much less fall down.

Yup! Even with some 147 gr from my H&K USP 9. You have to hit the top of the plate.

Yeah, I understand 9mm not making it not fall over, but .45 230g? I find it pleasant when it is not busy, but when they are busy it can get scary in there.

There is no solution to the A/C and heating.
There are fans at the back of the range that suck out all of the smoke, lead dust, etc.
Those vents also suck out any climate control with them.
They could turn the vents off, but then it would quickly get a little smoky and very unhealthy.

They could Easily hook those fans up to HEPA filters and recirculate the air like a lot of newer rangers. I'd pay a couple extra bucks for the extra comfort.

I've been very impressed by the folks over at Precision. Bought a firearm offline and had it sent there and they had no qualms about walking me through the weapon and how to take it apart. They were just as friendly as if I had bought it from them (which I did on my next purchase).

I agree with this. They're always professional and courteous to me when I'm in there (with the exception of one female employee).

Speaking of, I need to go shooting soon.

They have always been professional and helpful to me. Even when I read negative complaints in the past. They were good to me. With ammo prices what they are I don't shoot much these days. I will be glad when prices return to reasonable levels and the panic buying ceases.

 

[2011Corvette]

I agree. I've been treated good when we shoot there. One of the nicer indoor ranges in Baton Rouge. IMO
The ammo prices and availability must be hurting them too right now. Hope it turns around soon.

Their range is decent, but as others have said, it could use a bit of cleaning/upkeep...their prices are also hit or miss at times. I picked up a 26-round CMMG mag for my AR-22 upper for cheap, but sometimes their ammo/firearm prices are stupid high. They are good folks to talk with and they generally have a pretty great selection of demo firearms to try out if you want.

Also don't forget that women shoot for free Monday through Thursday. A definate plus. Was in there a couple of weeks ago with the wife and we had to wait for a lane. The climate on the lanes was pleasant even with the crowd.

I've been their twice in the last two weeks... I fine the ammo is very high, but it is everywhere. Bring your own, and for the ventilation system, awsome! Targets are 1$ and its like 15$ to shoot
