Directions to BZ 3?

Same road as BZII but turn left on the dead-end dirt road named something Cemetary. Be careful, folks DO hunt behind BZIII. Also there is another shooting area downrange and to the left. You can't see it from the road.

Can someone try to pull GPS coordinates next time they are at BZ3?

Here's a map.

I was bored so I put together a map. Not real sure where the new BZ is but if someone would like to point it out, that'd be great...THX

TTT

Looks like the numbers are reversed between the two maps

I will but I won't be until jan some time. The map above does look correct though.

We need to pick a weekend for a BS group shoot... Isn't there a weekend with no NFL before the superbowl?

Has anyone gone there recently and is it open? If Honey Island is closed this weekend, I want to try out my new AR somewhere local.

There is no "open" as such as it isn't an official range.
It is just wide open wasteland owned by NASA where a few of us, and others go to shoot.
I have been there many times but not this year so far.

Lots of action out there today. 2 groups of people at site 3. I sat and watched for a while. Their target was set up "ON TOP" of the backstop. Just at the right height for a miss to clear the far wall of the pit and go wild into the woods. When one fellow asked what MOA meant and another answered "mode of operation," I decided that the prudent course of action was to retreat.

For those looking for directions, if you put "The Point Cemetery" into google maps it takes you right to BZ2. BZ3 is just a little ways up the road from that as well.

 

[Leonidas]

Half a dozen folks out there yesterday, 'bout 4PM. Was it any of you?

I was there with my brother and my cousin. Were you the one who pulled up at BZ2 and asked if we were gonna be long while I was carrying my Mosin?

 

[Leonidas]

No, There were 3 fellas and 2 teens shooting mostly AR's. They were set up with tables at the roadside at site #3.
My wife and I went down to the cemetery and tried out a new AK. I say new, actually I bought it in October from AsianAK and yesterday was our first shoot with it. It runs great Eric, thanks.

You must not have shot a whole heck of a lot. Not very many 7.62 x 39 on the ground-- unless you were picking it up.

 

[Leonidas]

LOL, sorry we missed you. I keep wondering if I'll ever actually meet a BS'er out there.
It was late. We ran 100 rounds and went home to cook dinner. Besides, Honey outshot me. She does so frequently
Seven months owning without firing just seemed dumb. I trust AsianAK, but what if there was something wrong he didn't know about. I sat around all day thinking, "I gotta shoot it, I gotta shoot it."

I'll have to give you a heads up next time I go. Maybe shoot together.

I was out there today, so not much for you to miss. Do let me know the next time you go, though!

Really prefer BZ3, with the open space, berm and visible pit wall. There's also just enough shade cast by the row of trees that separates the pit from the road to make it pleasant. Lots of trash starting to pile up out there, though-- I snagged what I could, along with my own junk, on the way out.

Really prefer BZ3, with the open space, berm and visible pit wall. Me, too. But the other folks left no room for anyone else.

Do let me know the next time you go, though! Will do.

 

[BOSS302]

I'm planning on a run out there this coming Monday. I need to get the new AR sighted in and pattern some rounds through the 12ga.

 

[Leonidas]

What time?

 

[BOSS302]

What time?

Planning on heading out of NOLA between 9 and 10.
